Africa is currently the continent of cybercriminality increase throughout the world.

That is explained by several reasons which are :

• Bad knowledge of Information Technologies by the populations;

• Absence of a suitable legal system ;

• Inexistence on the level of the States of cybersecurity structures;

• Absence of a framework for dialogue and coordination of strategies at the regional level.

In order to reflect on these problems which are a concern for all the countries of the world and mainly african countries, Ivory Coast decided to organise the first African regional Cybersecurity conference (Af Cybersec 2008) which will be held in Yamoussoukro (Ivory Coast) November 17th to 20th, 2008 with the following topic: "TOWARDS A SAFE CYBERSPACE IN AFRICA".

The conference will bring together all public and private sectors actors, the african civil society and also the experts of the international institutions.
It will be the occasion :

• to discuss on cybersecurity best practices ;

• to define the bases of the co-operation between  countries, effectiveness of any national policy of cybersecurity guarantees.
