The conference will touch on Rwanda's strides in enacting data protection laws and developing comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. Attendees will gain insights into how cybersecurity policy can be effectively woven into the fabric of national governance and business strategies, ensuring a secure digital future for citizens and enterprises alike.

The RISE Conference emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach to cyber risks. Sessions will focus on fostering international cooperation, with particular attention to protecting vulnerable online populations, such as children, and combating emerging cyber threats. This collaborative ethos is critical for developing a unified front against cyber adversaries.
