to solve what matters

TLP:RED Sessions

Attend exclusive briefings under strict information sharing protocols. RISE Nigeria operates in a secured environment designed for candid discussion of active threats targeting financial infrastructure — including fraud networks, ransomware syndicates, and nation-state actors.

Hands-On Workshops

Work directly with tools, datasets, and real-world financial sector scenarios in live exercises. You'll be analyzing, investigating, and problem-solving — not watching slide decks.

Practitioner-Led Collaboration

Every session is led by those actively working investigations inside financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and intelligence agencies. No keynotes. No pitches. Just operators sharing what's working right now.

Closed-Door Discussions

Limited attendance fosters the trust required for honest exchange. Share intel, discuss sensitive exposures, and explore emerging threats in an environment built for financial sector operators who need to speak freely.

A Legacy of Elite Collaboration

RISE events provide a trusted environment for cybersecurity practitioners to exchange intelligence, share investigative insight, and strengthen the relationships that support their work. Attendees leave with actionable insight and trusted connections built on shared experience.

Real Intelligence. Real Skills. Real Impact.

Actionable Threat Intelligence

Leave with specific insights, techniques, and strategies. RISE attendees consistently report deploying new defenses within days of the event.

Investigative Methods from the Field

Access playbooks, frameworks, and analytical approaches that are actively disrupting adversaries. Learn from those who've successfully tracked, exposed, and neutralized threats.

A Network That Keeps Working

Build trusted relationships with security leaders who understand your challenges. Past attendees report ongoing collaboration, intel sharing, and problem-solving long after RISE ends.

Hands-On Workshop Skills

Participate in live exercises using real-world scenarios and tools. Whether it's cryptocurrency tracing, infrastructure hunting, or malware analysis, you'll gain practical skills through direct application.

Join the Inner Circle


The lessons and connections built at RISE Conference go far beyond the conference itself. Once you attend,
you become a member of an inner circle, connected with global defenders, operators, and intelligence professionals.

Your application to attend is the first step toward the most important work of your career,
as you join a community dedicated to saving and improving human lives. Space is limited.

Space is extremely limited. Attendance is by invitation only.

Call for Speakers: Shape the Future of CTI

Share your expertise. Help defenders worldwide. Shape the future of Threat Intelligence

RISE Nigeria looks to members of the community to share their unique insights into today’s most substantial threats. If you have a compelling case study, an active investigation, or a unique perspective that moves our community from a reactive to proactive security posture, we want to hear from you.

TLP:RED & Social Media Policy

All content shared at RISE Nigeria, including sessions, presentations, speakers, attendee identities, and the agenda, is classified TLP:RED unless explicitly stated otherwise by the source.

Per the FIRST Traffic Light Protocol standard (v2.0), TLP:RED means for the eyes and ears of individual recipients only. No further disclosure. In the context of a meeting, TLP:RED information is limited to those present.

Social Media at RISE Nigeria

We welcome delegates sharing that they're here: use #RISENigeria to connect with the community. But participation in the event comes with strict obligations on what can and cannot be shared publicly

Do NOT post, photograph, screenshot, or share:

  • Delegate faces (without explicit, informed consent)
  • Specific threat actor or malware family names
  • Slides, presentation materials, or workshop content
  • Session summaries, quotes, or key takeaways from speakers
  • The agenda or session schedule
  • Venue specifics, room layouts, or off-site locations
  • Conference group photos, signed posters, or badges

What you CAN share:

  • That you're attending RISE Nigeria and general enthusiasm for the community
  • Photos taken at the designated photo opportunity area (ideal for LinkedIn — look for the backdrop at registration)
  • Content explicitly cleared as TLP:GREEN or TLP:CLEAR by the source, in the moment

If a session or piece of content is designated at a lower classification, that will be stated explicitly. Absent that designation, assume TLP:RED applies.
