The diamond sponsor at this year's ITWeb Security Summit, Networks Unlimited Africa, a leading value-added distributor within the Sub-Saharan Africa market, has lined up a shining array of speakers and topics from among its participating vendor partners for its keenly anticipated customer theatre, which runs from 10:00 to 16:30 on both the main days of the summit.
Anton Jacobsz, Networks Unlimited Africa CEO, clarifies: "Our vendor partners at the Security Summit, namely Attivo Networks, Carbon Black, Cofense, Fortinet and RSA, will be showcasing demos and presentations on both of the main Security Summit days, the 28th and 29th of May. In addition to the information presented through the customer theatre, we will also have our technical and sales experts available for one-on-one discussions, as well as affiliated international guests, to share and discuss the latest cutting-edge knowledge, trends and information."
Jacobsz says the vendor partners present at the summit are all specifically chosen by Networks Unlimited Africa for their unique offerings in the security suite, and each partner brings something different to the holistic security picture, whether they are still relatively new firms or have already achieved the status of global giant.
"Attivo Networks is a leader in deception for cyber security threat detection, which uses high-interaction decoys and lures to effectively deceive attackers into revealing themselves, thereby closing the detection deficit. Carbon Block offers next-generation endpoint security solutions to help customers detect, prevent and respond to the most advanced cyber attacks, critical in today's world in which mobile devices and the Internet of things are causing the frontiers of the enterprise and work space to become simultaneously wider and increasingly nebulous," he explains.
"Cofense, formerly PhishMe, is a leading provider of human-focused intelligent phishing defence solutions, which empower workforce employees to become more aware of the evolving threat landscape, and less susceptible to phishing messages that cause them click into the wrong place and then give up personal or financial information.
"Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cyber security solutions, is known for securing some of the largest enterprise, service provider and government organisations around the world: its network security products deliver outstanding functionality, ease of implementation and excellent cost-benefits. And finally, RSA is another global cyber security leader, with consulting and technology solutions that empower firms by providing a holistic view of cyber security needs, in order to reduce risk and rapidly respond to incidents."
Against this diverse security partner background, the topics and speakers include:
* Attivo Networks: "Dynamic cyber detection for proactive cyber defence": Bahi Hour, Director, System Engineering, META
* Carbon Black: "Re-defining endpoint security: Stop known and unknown threats through big data analytics": Danelie Nicita, Regional Sales Engineer, EMEA
* Cofense: "Are your end-users getting hooked? Phishing in action": Alec Aronson, Product Manager, Cofense and RSA
* Fortinet: "Why consider advanced threat protection? What customers need to know": Paul Williams, Country Manager, SADC and IOI
* RSA: "Finding the real bad - can your analysts keep up?": Alec Aronson, Product Manager, Cofense and RSA
"We look forward to engaging with IT professionals during this 14th iteration of the Security Summit and sharing the cutting-edge knowledge and information that our best-of-breed solutions partners have to offer," Jacobsz concludes.
ITWeb Security Summit 2019
In an increasingly connected digital world, cyber security threats are constantly evolving and increasing in number and sophistication. Security professionals need to be up to speed with the latest technologies, techniques and skills for predicting and mitigating potentially crippling cyber attacks, the methods and tools in use by today's threat actors, and the latest legal and compliance demands.
ITWeb Security Summit, now in its 14th year, will again bring together leading international and local industry experts, analysts and end-users to unpack the latest threats facing African CISOs, CIOs, security specialists and risk officers, demystify emerging cyber security strategies in AI, blockchain, IOT, DevSecOps and more, and explain how to increase an organisation's cyber resiliency.
