“Why cybersecurity matters to businesses and the economy”

Adetokunbo Omotosho, a cybersecurity specialist, stated that as companies adopt digital transformation, cybersecurity is now a catalyst for innovation.
He explained that this is possible because cutting-edge technologies and safe online spaces enable businesses to investigate novel business ideas and maintain their competitiveness.

This was said by Omotosho, who also serves as Cybervergent’s co-founder and chief executive officer, during a media conference in Lagos.

He stated that the company, being a business, is aware of the vital role cybersecurity plays in protecting not only organisations but also the nation’s national security.

Customer trust is critical in today’s data-driven world, he says. A breach can undermine confidence and harm a business’s image. Making cybersecurity a top priority shows a dedication to safeguarding client information, building confidence, and upholding a positive brand reputation.

As a result, he claimed, the company understands that cybersecurity is a strategic asset that enables companies to prosper in the digital environment rather than merely a defensive one.

He declared, “Our solutions are made to be proactive, flexible, and in line with the changing needs of contemporary businesses.”

Speaking about the rationale behind the company’s name change from Infoprive to Cybervergent, he stated that this tactical move represents a critical turning point in the unwavering commitment to lead Africa’s cybersecurity through innovation, automation, and comprehensive, scalable solutions.

According to him, Cybervergent is more than just a moniker shift—it’s the union of innovative technology, forward-thinking leadership, and a steadfast dedication to defending companies across the continent in the digital era, beginning with Nigeria, the biggest economy in Africa.
