TechTV Africa, organisers of the prestigious Titans of Tech Awards, has announced Innocent Paul Ojo as the recipient of the Cybersecurity Innovator of the Year award at the 2023 edition of its pan-African technology leadership event. The award ceremony, held in Lagos, recognises game-changing innovators who are shaping the continent’s digital future and was attended by executives, founders, and policymakers across West and Central Africa.
Innocent was honoured for advancing scalable and impactful cybersecurity strategies across high-growth African startups, particularly in fintech, healthtech, and mobility sectors. His work in 2023 directly supported the operational security of platforms used by over 3 million users in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.
Key accomplishments that led to his recognition include:
- Designing and implementing security-by-design frameworks for 12+ digital platforms, reducing breach incidents by 70% within 6 months.
- Leading cloud security hardening for AWS, GCP, and Azure environments serving financial and healthcare apps.
- Coordinating incident response readiness across 4 venture-backed startups, enabling sub-5-minute threat response times and increasing compliance readiness.
- Delivering cybersecurity advisory to startup teams managing over ₦8 billion ($10 million+) in user transactions annually.
According to the organisers, Innocent stood out for his “hands-on, strategic leadership in embedding cyber resilience directly into product development workflows.” Rather than focusing solely on risk mitigation, his approach positions cybersecurity as a core business enabler — vital for scale, trust, and compliance.
The Titans of Tech Awards, now in its 19th year, is one of Africa’s most respected tech honours platforms, celebrating innovation, policy impact, and ecosystem leadership. Past winners have included leading figures from MTN, Google, and Interswitch.
This award is a clear recognition of Innocent’s growing stature as a continental leader in proactive cybersecurity and his contribution to Africa’s digital safety net in emerging markets.
“His work reflects the shift toward cybersecurity as a growth strategy, not just a defensive measure,” said one of the judges from TechTV Africa. “Innocent is not only solving real problems he’s helping others build responsibly.”
