About

Africa OT Security Experience is an initiative dedicated to the cybersecurity of industrial environments and critical infrastructure in Africa.

Designed as a pan-African roadshow, the project aims to support industrial decision-makers, IT/OT managers, and stakeholders in strategic sectors in understanding the risks associated with IT/OT convergence, the digitalization of industrial processes, and operational resilience.

A field-oriented vision

The initiative is based on a simple observation: while African industrial environments are modernizing rapidly, OT cybersecurity challenges remain largely invisible, poorly understood, or addressed in an overly theoretical manner.

Africa OT Security Experience was designed to make these challenges concrete by offering innovative formats that transform complex technical concepts into understandable, useful, and directly actionable experiences for decision-makers.

A Selective and Structured Format

Unlike general events, Africa OT Security Experience prioritizes:

• Rigorous participant selection,
• High-quality peer-to-peer exchanges,
• Content focused on real-world cases and lessons learned,
• An approach that respects local and industrial realities.

The event is exclusively for stakeholders involved in industrial, energy, mining, agribusiness, and critical infrastructure environments.

A Natural Continuity

Africa OT Security Experience builds upon previously developed OT initiatives, notably the North Africa OT Security Forum, while offering a redesigned, mobile format adapted to the specificities of African markets.
