CSEAN applauds cybersecurity research excellence award winners for hard work

The Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria has commended the winners of the 2025 National Cybersecurity Awards for their tireless efforts and exceptional contributions to Nigeria’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
CSEAN’s president, Ade Shoyinka, who gave the commendation in a statement on Sunday, also commended the National Information Technology Development Agency for successfully organising the event’s maiden edition recently in Abuja.
He said the conference aimed to explore emerging cyber threats, close national vulnerabilities, and policies that support national security and sustainable digital development.
Mr Shoyinka also lauded the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, as well as the Office of the National Security Adviser, for co-hosting the first National Cybersecurity Conference, during which the awards were presented.
While describing the maiden edition of the event as successful and progressive, Shoyinka congratulated all the winners for their outstanding contributions, which he noted would enhance the nation’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
“CSEAN received the Cyber Security Research Excellence Award given for the impactful research and Policy work. The CSEAN Research Team has produced several technical reports, including National Cyber Threat Forecasts from 2022 to 2025, as well as Landscapes from 2022 to 2025, for use in national policy and cybersecurity preparedness.
“These resources are available to the public through the official CSEAN website for each individual’s use, be they stakeholders in the public or private sector,” he said.
He further explained that the CSEAN research team serves as managing editors for the peer-reviewed conference proceedings of a cyber-secure Nigeria, which document academic insights from past conference events.
According to him, the research volumes 1, 2, and 3 are available on the official conference website, adding that they demonstrate a strong commitment toward knowledge dissemination and academic discussion.
The association’s president stated that the Lagos conference would highlight CSEAN’s emerging role in shaping national conversations about cybersecurity and developing and providing inclusive, research-based, secure digital economy solutions.
