Libya Tech Forum

The Libya Tech Forum is a premier high-level cybersecurity forum aimed at safeguarding Libya's critical economic sectors: banking, telecommunications, and energy. Recognizing the interconnectedness of these sectors through digital infrastructure, the forum addresses the urgent need for a cohesive cybersecurity strategy to mitigate the risks associated with potential cyber attacks. Disruptions in any one of these sectors can lead to significant cascading effects, threatening national revenue, operational continuity, and overall economic stability. The forum emphasizes the importance of a unified response to cybersecurity threats, rather than isolated solutions, as the economic lifelines of Libya are at stake.

At the core of Libya's stability, the banking, telecommunications, and energy sectors are top priorities in the current cyber threat landscape. Systemic risks such as financial fraud and ransomware attacks pose significant threats to the capital flow necessary for national projects and public services. Cyberattacks on telecommunications can disrupt connectivity and trigger failures across essential services, while attacks on energy systems can halt production, directly impacting national revenue and security. The forum aims to establish a collaborative national cybersecurity framework that empowers these sectors by building proactive strategies and enabling rapid, coordinated responses to cyber incidents. The event will feature key figures from Libya's national leadership and international cybersecurity experts, including the CEO of the National Digital Authority, the CTO of Global Tech Solutions, and the Head of Cybersecurity at the Central Bank. This gathering will serve as a platform to strengthen Libya’s cybersecurity efforts and protect its critical infrastructure.
