Africa is rapidly digitising, transforming vital sectors like energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation. While this growth fuels innovation and development, it also exposes critical infrastructure to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Aegis Africa is ITLawCo’s flagship initiative, dedicated to addressing these challenges and safeguarding the backbone of Africa’s digital future.

Why it matters

Critical infrastructure supports essential services that millions of people rely on every day. A single cyberattack on a power grid, hospital, or transportation network can disrupt lives, economies, and national security. Aegis Africa is here to ensure that these systems remain secure, resilient, and capable of withstanding the ever-evolving threat landscape.

Our approach

Aegis Africa combines innovative strategies and proven practices to deliver measurable impact:

  • Policy innovation: Developing actionable recommendations tailored to Africa’s unique needs, helping governments harmonise regulations and enhance cybersecurity protections.
  • Collaboration: Bringing together governments, private sector leaders, and regional organisations to create unified approaches to protecting shared systems.
  • Capacity building: Training local professionals to close the cybersecurity skills gap and empower communities to protect critical systems.
  • Behavioural insights: Applying behavioural economics to address biases, improve compliance, and encourage proactive cybersecurity practices.
  • Pilot solutions: Implementing scalable pilot projects in key sectors to demonstrate practical, replicable cybersecurity solutions.

Our goals

  1. Protect vital systems and services from cyber threats.
  2. Strengthen national and regional cybersecurity frameworks.
  3. Foster trust and collaboration among public and private stakeholders.
  4. Empower local professionals with the skills and tools needed for long-term resilience.
