Leading cybersecurity firm Ethnos Cyber LTD has released its latest quarterly cybersecurity report, revealing alarming statistics about the rising tide of cyber threats targeting African organizations. According to the report, the continent recorded an average of over 3,600 cyberattacks weekly in the last quarter — a figure that underscores the urgent need for stronger digital defenses and proactive risk management across sectors.
The report, which highlights critical vulnerabilities in Africa’s digital infrastructure, emphasizes that cyber threats are no longer isolated incidents but a persistent and evolving challenge. “The numbers speak for themselves,” the company stated, warning that the frequency and sophistication of attacks are increasing as more African enterprises adopt digital technologies for commerce, finance, and governance.
Ethnos Cyber’s quarterly findings serve as a call to action for policymakers, business leaders, and technology stakeholders shaping Africa’s digital future. The company urges decision-makers to invest in advanced cybersecurity measures, emphasizing that protecting data, digital transactions, and infrastructure is key to sustaining the continent’s economic growth and innovation.
Through its range of information security and compliance services, managed cybersecurity solutions, and specialized training programs, Ethnos Cyber equips organizations to operate safely in a connected world. Its mission is to empower businesses to build digital resilience and safeguard trust in the age of increasing cyber risk.
Reaffirming its commitment to industry collaboration and knowledge sharing, Ethnos Cyber LTD also announced its participation as a bronze sponsor of #NFW25 (Nigeria Fintech Week 2025) — a premier technology and innovation event set to shape discussions around cybersecurity, fintech, payments, lifestyle tech, commerce, and mobility.
In a statement accompanying the report, Peter Ejiofor, Chief Executive Officer of Ethnos Cyber LTD, emphasized the company’s mission to build a safer digital Africa:
“Africa’s digital economy is growing rapidly, but so are the threats that come with it. At Ethnos, we believe cybersecurity must be seen as a foundation for innovation, not an obstacle to it. Our goal is to empower organizations with intelligence-driven solutions that allow them to thrive securely in an increasingly digital world.”
