Reflecting on the success of our Cybersecurity Report launch held yesterday, we would like to extend our gratitude to all our customers, partners, and media who joined us. From the SOC tour to engaging panel discussions, the event reinforced the importance of addressing cybersecurity as a cornerstone of the digital economy. Key discussion points from the day: 👉🏽The Role of Digital Trust in Growth: Digital Trust is not only a protective measure but a key enabler of growth, innovation, and partnerships. Establishing trust allows businesses to explore new opportunities confidently. 👉🏽Preparedness for Ransomware Attacks: With only 36% of organisations confident in their ability to withstand ransomware attacks, the need for proactive defences was a significant focus. This includes having robust recovery plans and employee awareness. 👉🏽Tackling Insider Threats: 49% of South African businesses recognise insider threats as a critical risk. Panellists emphasised the importance of creating a culture of cybersecurity awareness supported by strong internal controls and continuous training. 👉🏽The Escalating Threat Landscape: Panellists highlighted how 62% of global organisations are reporting more severe cyberattacks, reflecting the growing complexity of threats driven by advancements like AI-powered cybercrime and 5G vulnerabilities. 👉🏽Collaboration is Key: Combating cyber threats requires collaboration—not just between organisations and technology providers, but also across industries and regulatory bodies to build resilience. The conversation does not end here, to truly build resilience, these discussions must extend beyond yesterday and we encourage executives, decision-makers, and business leaders to download the report so that we can keep this dialogue alive—together, we can shape a secure and thriving digital future.
