​​​​Digital advances in the maritime sector can increase efficiency, but as the July Transnet cyber attack showed, they also expose the industry to new threats. To benefit from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the safety of sea routes, ports and vessels should be a priority for African states. This includes protection against cyber attacks. The webinar covers maritime cyber security governance in Africa and emerging threats on the AFrican maritime cyber landscape.
