Are you building the next big thing in Africa’s tech ecosystem? If you’re treating cybersecurity as a "fix-it-later" task, you are putting your entire business at risk. Trust is the currency of growth, and one breach can shut you down before you even hit scale.
In this episode of Business Morning, we dive deep into the critical shift of viewing Cybersecurity as a Product Feature rather than an afterthought. Joining us is Abdul Rashid Koti, a seasoned Cybersecurity and Software Engineer, who breaks down why fintech, e-commerce, and health-tech startups in Africa are becoming primary targets for cybercriminals.
We explore how to balance rapid growth with "Secure by Design" principles, how to protect sensitive user data on a budget, and the three non-negotiable security pillars every founder must implement from Day One.
[Key Topics Covered]
Why "move fast and break things" is a dangerous strategy for security.
Common vulnerabilities in payment and health-tech platforms.
How to build a secure MVP without expensive tools.
