LATEST MAGAZINE

The CIO Africa magazine is your source for the most current thinking on the pressing issues at the intersection of business, technology, and leadership. We work hard to bring you insightful articles and commentaries from leading minds across industries to help you stay on top of the trends shaping our world.

The March 2026 editions of CIO Africa magazine focus on cybersecurity leadership across the continent, featuring three distinct perspectives on protecting Africa’s digital infrastructure. West Africa’s Olugbolahan Olusanya (TeKnowledge) exemplifies the integration of technical expertise with executive leadership, while East Africa’s Tim Theuri (M-Pesa Africa) operates as the unsung guardian of mobile money security, and South Africa’s Dirk Labuschagne (Direct Transact) provides honest insights into the relentless nature of CISO responsibilities. All three editions examine how Africa’s banking CISOs are bracing for the future of risk, positioning cybersecurity leadership as crucial to the continent’s digital sovereignty and the protection of its growing digital economy.
