Oni said, “this session, which will be the first of many,will seek to enhance our collective knowledge and inspire collaborative endeavours aimed at fortifying the digital realm, especially as an increasing number of customers turn to digital channels for value delivery.”

He underscored how this platform facilitates the exchange of ideas among thought leaders, challenges traditional norms, and charts a course toward a more secure digital environment, further describing the event as a platform to anticipate the evolving threats, adapt strategies, and promote a safer digital world marked by technological advancements and heightened cyber threats.

According to Oni, this gathering represents a convergence of ideas, experiences, and visions that will drive advancements in securing the digital finance industry as our contributions and eventual decisions will have a direct impact on consumer rights, trust, and the continuity of our businesses.

He added that every organisation participating directly acknowledges the evolving threats faced by operators and thought leaders in this space, and that their presence and contribution shows that they view themselves as more than just service providers, but custodians of monetary value and trust.

Also, partner and head of the Cyber Unit arm of KPMG Nigeria’s Risk Consulting, Mr. John Anyanwu noted that disruptive technologies were already more prevalent and rapidly transforming every aspect of the world.

Anyanwu pointed out that this transformation was driven by the imperative to meet customer expectations, provide personalised and empathetic experiences.

However, Anyanwu cautioned that despite the numerous benefits of adopting the latest technologies, it also brought risks and concerns, including infrastructure vulnerabilities, data privacy, fraud risks, third-party risks and the need for education and awareness.

He emphasised the need for collaborative efforts among operators to address these concerns through initiatives such as cybersecurity education and awareness, cyber resilience, third-party risk management and safeguarding customer data privacy.
