Tracking and isolating COVID-19 cases with WiFi technology

The same solutions implemented in shopping malls to provide free WiFi connectivity can help track the movement of people, thus helping to prevent the spread of the virus, says Quentin Daffarn, MD at UC-Wireless.

Data resilience readiness

ITWeb, in partnership with Veeam, is running a survey on data resilience readiness among businesses in Africa.

The survey aims to explore just how prepared these businesses are to recover from a ransomware or cyber attack, as well as the resources they have at their disposal to help them recover.

In this survey, we examine, among other things:

Does your organisation use backup data as an additional layer of defence to scan for indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware, or other threats?
Assuming a worst-case scenario where all systems are affected, how long would it take your organisation to restore full operations?
To what extent has your organisation integrated AI intelligence into its data protection strategies?

By completing the questionnaire, you stand a chance to win a Takealot or Amazon gift voucher to the value of R5 000.

The detailed results of the survey and the winner of the lucky prize draw will be published on ITWeb.

Implementing ERP costs real money and you need enough to go the distance, says Gerrit Olivier, founder and CEO of About IT.

Significant security risks for South African businesses as dark data grows to nearly half of all stored information, finds Veritas study

While cloud adoption in SA has increased, keeping dark and ROT data in the cloud puts companies at risk of cyber attacks and reputational damage, says David McMurdo, regional director: South Africa, Veritas Technologies.

The abstraction of complexity

As businesses progress from traditional to virtual to cloud, there’s no clear progression for each step, says Simon Jelley, VP, backup exec product management at Veritas.

Hasty cloud adoption increases companies’ risk profile

Companies can enjoy the flexibility and computing power of the public cloud for non-sensitive tasks, but keep business-critical applications and data on the premises, says Ian McAlister, General Manager of CRS Technologies.
