For more than a decade, Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako has been pioneering cybersecurity development activities on the African continent in both the private and public sectors.

He established the e-Crime Bureau in Ghana in 2011 as the first cybersecurity and digital forensics lab in West Africa with a dedicated digital forensics lab; an initiative which supported law enforcement and national agencies to successfully investigate and prosecute cybercrimes. His work through the e-Crime Bureau resulted in his engagement across the African continent with considerable activities in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Morrocco, Nigeria and Ghana. His extensive work in the private sector led to his engagements for a number of international organisations including the UNODC, United Nations Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD), the European Union, Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative (CCI) of the Commonwealth Secretariat, Global Commission on Internet Governance (GCIG)/Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) and the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), among others.
