Theme: New Frontiers
The 2024 conference will focus on four critical thematic areas: Critical Information Infrastructure, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Privacy. These themes reflect current trends and address areas of significant impact on society today. We are seeking innovative, thought-provoking, and cutting-edge presentations that align with these themes. Submissions that include practical demonstrations or research with actionable findings will be given priority. Additionally, contributions addressing policy and governance are welcome. This year, for the first time, we are dedicating two slots for Call for Presentations (CFPs) to potential presenters from academia, emphasizing the importance of scholarly contributions. Based on feedback from last year’s conference and to elevate the quality of our event, we will prioritize speakers with demonstrable practical experience in their respective fields. This approach aims to ensure that the knowledge shared is not only theoretical but also rooted in real-world application. Join us at BSides Nairobi 2024 as we explore the new frontiers of cybersecurity, driving forward the community and enhancing our collective capabilities to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.
