We are extending the invitation to the AfNOG community and would like to have you with us. Date: Thursday, 9 July 2026 ? 9:00 AM?1:00 PM EAT (UTC+3). Proposed Title: Securing Africa's Internet: Understanding and Defending Against Attacks on Critical Internet Infrastructure Organisers AfricaCERT and SANS Session Overview The Internet has become a critical enabler of economic growth, digital transformation, financial services, government operations, and regional connectivity across Africa. As dependence on digital infrastructure continues to grow, protecting the systems that underpin the Internet has become increasingly important. This session will provide a practical overview of today's cyber threats targeting critical Internet infrastructure across Africa, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications operators, Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), DNS Operators, and the broader Internet ecosystem. As key stewards of Internet availability and resilience, Internet Infrastructure operators play a particularly important role in supporting trusted communications, economic activity, and essential digital services. The discussion will explore common threats targeting Internet infrastructure, emerging challenges facing operators and national ecosystems, lessons learned from recent incidents, and practical approaches to strengthening resilience through preparedness, collaboration, and information sharing among operators, CERTs/CSIRTs, and cybersecurity stakeholders. Instructor Jason Jordaan is a SANS Certified Instructor who has supported organizations across Africa and internationally in addressing complex cyber threats and strengthening cyber resilience for more than two decades. He previously served with the South African Police Service and established digital forensics capabilities within South Africa's Special Investigating Unit. His experience spans cyber investigations, incident response, and resilience initiatives across both public- and private-sector organizations.
