Ghana’s Cyber Security Authority (CSA), in collaboration with Huawei, has held a two-day workshop focused on artificial intelligence governance and cybersecurity in the digital finance sector as part of the 2026 National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).
The workshop, themed “From Innovation to Resilience: Governing AI and Securing the Future of Digital Finance,” brought together cybersecurity professionals, financial institutions, fintech companies and other stakeholders to examine the opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence.
Discussions centred on promoting responsible AI adoption and strengthening cybersecurity resilience across Ghana’s digital financial ecosystem. Participants considered the security and governance challenges emerging as financial institutions and fintech companies increasingly incorporate AI into their services and operations.
Speaking at the event, CSA Director-General Dr Divine Selase Agbeti emphasised the importance of strong regulatory frameworks, responsible innovation and collective accountability. He said these measures are necessary to ensure that technological advances do not compromise the security and trust of Ghana’s digital financial ecosystem.
Dr Agbeti also reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to creating a secure digital environment where innovation can progress while emerging cyber threats are effectively managed.
Huawei Ghana Deputy Managing Director Chad Wei reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s digital transformation through technology, strategic partnerships and capacity-building initiatives.
Wei also highlighted the importance of collaboration between government, industry and other stakeholders in promoting responsible AI adoption and developing resilient digital financial infrastructure.
The workshop forms part of Ghana’s wider cybersecurity awareness efforts, providing a platform for stakeholders to address emerging digital risks and strengthen the governance frameworks needed to support the continued growth of digital financial services.
