 Cyber Culture Interface’s innovative approach to cybersecurity education has earned it a spot among the YALI 100 cohort, and its Founder, Olalekan Ilori, will share insights at the Africa Tech Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, from November 11-14, 2024.

In line with this mission, Cyber Culture Interface, a visionary initiative of PARAC Concepts and Solutions, recently organized the Cybersecurity and Digital Sustainability Workshop (CDSW) at Tunwase High School, Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja, Lagos.

“The essence of this workshop is to create awareness among students on the importance of cybersecurity and digital sustainability,” said Olalekan Ilori, Founder of Cyber Culture Interface.

 “We want to empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the digital landscape safely and responsibly.”

The workshop, held on October 24, brought together renowned experts and thought leaders in the fields of cybersecurity and digital sustainability.

“Digital sustainability is not just about technology; it’s about the impact of our online activities on the environment. We need to be mindful of our digital footprints and take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Cyber Culture Interface seeks to create a culture of cybersecurity awareness and digital sustainability among Nigerian youth. The earlier we start educating our youth on cybersecurity, the better equipped they will be to tackle the challenges of the digital world,” said Ilori. 

“We are committed to reaching 50 schools within the next year. By empowering students to become cybersecurity ambassadors, we aim to create a ripple effect, promoting digital sustainability and cybersecurity awareness nationwide,” he said.
