ESET Strengthens Cybersecurity Awareness at Lagos State Civil Service Commission Career Week 2026

LAGOS, NIGERIA — ESET Nigeria joined the Lagos State Civil Service Commission Career Week 2026 to advance the conversation around cybersecurity, digital transformation and the resilience of public-sector institutions.

The Career Week, organized around the theme of driving business process automation in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) within the Lagos State public service, provided a platform for conversations around the changing nature of work and the importance of building a workforce that is equipped for an increasingly digital environment. ESET Nigeria’s participation brought cybersecurity into that conversation, highlighting the role of awareness in supporting safer and more resilient use of technology.

Representing ESET Nigeria at the event was Olufemi Ake, Managing Director, ESET Nigeria, who delivered a cybersecurity awareness presentation to participants. His participation underscored ESET Nigeria’s commitment to making cybersecurity awareness part of broader conversations about digital transformation, workplace readiness and the responsible adoption of technology.

As public institutions continue to depend on digital systems, connected devices and online platforms to support everyday operations, cybersecurity awareness has become an increasingly important part of organizational resilience. Technology can improve how services are delivered and how teams collaborate, but the benefits of digital progress depend on people understanding the risks that can accompany greater connectivity.

The awareness engagement therefore placed emphasis on the human side of cybersecurity. Employees and other technology users remain an important part of an organisation’s security environment, making practical knowledge, vigilance and informed decision-making essential complements to cybersecurity technology. Building this awareness can help individuals recognize suspicious activity, question unusual requests and adopt safer digital practices in the course of their work.

The event also reflected the wider connection between career development and digital capability. As workplaces evolve alongside new technologies, professionals are increasingly expected to understand not only how to use digital tools, but also how to use them securely. For public-sector organizations handling information systems and services on a large scale, this awareness is particularly important to maintaining confidence and continuity.

ESET Nigeria’s contribution forms part of its broader commitment to cybersecurity education and awareness. Through engagements with organizations, institutions and communities, the company continues to promote greater understanding of evolving digital risks and the behaviours that can help reduce exposure to them.

The Lagos State Civil Service Commission Career Week 2026 brought together participants within the public-service environment for learning, professional engagement and discussions connected to the future of work. ESET Nigeria’s presence added a cybersecurity perspective to these discussions, reinforcing the message that digital transformation and cybersecurity awareness should progress together.

For ESET Nigeria, supporting cybersecurity awareness is about more than responding to threats after they occur. It is also about helping people and organizations understand the digital risks around them, strengthening security-conscious behaviour and creating a culture in which cybersecurity is considered part of everyday digital responsibility.

Through continued awareness initiatives and knowledge-sharing engagements, ESET Nigeria remains committed to supporting a safer digital environment and contributing to the development of stronger cybersecurity awareness across Lagos State.
