CyberTrust Leaders Roundtable
Where digital trust meets cyber resilience
A closed-door executive forum for leaders shaping cybersecurity, risk, identity and customer protection across Nigeria's most digitally connected industries.
23rd November, 2026 | Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos
Nigeria's digital future runs on trust — and we converge to define how it stays secure.
Nigeria's economy is becoming increasingly digital, but the rapid expansion of digital services has created a parallel challenge: trust. Consumers are navigating an ecosystem of banks, fintechs, telecommunications companies, e‑commerce platforms, marketplaces, insurers, government services and technology providers, all of which increasingly depend on digital identity, data and connected systems. As these systems become more interconnected, the consequences of a security breach can extend far beyond a single organisation.
The CyberTrust Leaders Roundtable is a new executive platform designed to bring together the leaders responsible for cybersecurity, risk, fraud prevention, trust and safety, compliance, data protection and digital transformation across Nigeria's most digitally connected industries. The event will convene C‑level executives, cybersecurity leaders, regulators, policymakers and technology providers across financial services, telecommunications, e‑commerce, technology, insurance, government and other critical sectors to examine how businesses can protect their systems, customers and data in an increasingly complex threat environment. The conversations will examine how organisations can build more resilient digital systems, protect customers and businesses, strengthen identity and authentication, share intelligence and respond to emerging threats.
From cyber‑enabled fraud and identity theft to AI‑powered attacks, deepfakes, data breaches and digital identity, the CyberTrust Leaders Roundtable focuses on the threats that can undermine confidence in digital services and the technologies, policies and partnerships required to build more resilient organisations.

Conversation streams
Stream 01
Building Digital Resilience: A Cross-Industry Approach to Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity threats are no longer contained within the IT department or a single industry. As businesses share infrastructure, data, customers and digital services, vulnerabilities in one part of the ecosystem create risks for another. This panel examines how organisations across financial services, telecoms, e-commerce, technology, government and other sectors are responding — and what it takes to protect customers without compromising convenience.
Key discussion areas
- How interconnected digital ecosystems are changing the cybersecurity threat landscape
- The rise of account takeover, identity theft and social engineering
- Why customer data has become one of the most valuable targets
- Cybersecurity risks across banks, fintechs, telcos and digital platforms
- Protecting APIs, cloud infrastructure and third-party systems
- Building stronger collaboration between businesses, regulators and law enforcement
- Moving from reactive incident response to proactive cyber resilience
Stream 02
AI, Identity and the Next Generation of Cyber Threats
Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the battlefield. Organisations deploy AI to detect anomalies and automate response; attackers use increasingly sophisticated tools for phishing, deepfakes, synthetic identities and automated attacks. This panel asks whether businesses are prepared — and what technologies, policies and capabilities will be required to protect digital systems and maintain trust.
Key discussion areas
- AI vs AI: Can defensive AI keep pace with AI-powered attacks?
- The deepfake threat: Synthetic audio, video and identities for authentication
- Identity as the new perimeter: Verifying customers and employees in a zero-trust world
- Beyond passwords: Biometrics, passkeys and continuous authentication
- Security vs convenience: How much friction will customers tolerate?
- The regulatory question: How governments should respond to rapidly evolving threats
