'Divinations' is the second iteration of the Afrokarib series and explores the intersection of art and literature and their roles in our conception of the future. For the first time in London, the work of Francophone Caribbean artists, Hervé Beuze (Martinique) and David Gumbs (Saint-Martin) will be presented. The exhibition will explore the intersection of art and literature, and their roles in our conceptions of the future.

Positioned cartographically and conceptually as heirs to the seminal ideas of Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, and Édouard Glissant these artists address the role of the body in relation to emergent and future technologies.

Cybersecurity is an ever-growing concern for governments with 2017-2018 experiencing unprecedented leap forward by governments/organisations/ enterprises on the journey to becoming digital businesses. All leading to a growing range of threats from foreign powers, terrorists and criminals.

In the case of South Africa, its government responded in 2015 with a National Cybersecurity Policy Framework (NCPF), with implementation led by the Ministry of State Security. Clearly, South Africa lags behind advanced economies in cybersecurity legislation, in government coordination, in engagement with business and citizens, and in the supply of skilled labour. Delays have meant it lacks the experiences obtained in faster moving countries, and the improvements they have made to their policies and especially, implementation.

South Africa has been the country most often attacked in Africa and one in ten businesses reported a cyberattack during 2016, this is expected to rise significantly from 2018 when reporting is finally made mandatory, triggering much greater attention to prevention and security, especially because firms can then be held legally liable.

The Cyber Defence & Network Security conference aims to be a journey on stretching the boundaries of the cybersecurity ecosystem and taking a comprehensive look at the country’s cybersecurity, risk management and compliance strategies for the public and private sector.
