Until local companies prioritise security investments, they will remain less mature and more vulnerable than businesses in other parts of the world, says Ignus de Villiers, divisional manager, Cybersecurity at Nexio.

Digital transformation and security must be planned and deployed in tandem, says Ignus de Villiers, divisional manager of Cybersecurity at Nexio.

In a rapidly digitising world, security is more critical than ever, says Nexio.

Actionable intelligence allows rogue users to be intercepted, information flows to be halted and personal data or IP to be secured before it's compromised, says Ignus de Villiers, Divisional Manager for Cybersecurity at Nexio.

Transformation cannot be driven with just a vision and a technology implementation – you must remember to take your people with you on the journey.

Companies need to strike a balance between security and availability, says Nexio.

Although more costly upfront than sweating your assets, a software-defined data centre improves speed and agility, and lowers costs, says Nexio.

Trust among corporate leaders, divisional teams and employees is vital, says Chris Volschenk, CEO at Nexio.

Avoid being disrupted by embracing a holistic transformation strategy that draws together people, processes and technology.

Too many executives are stuck in the business models of the past to achieve effective digital transformation, says Deshan Govender, chief sales officer at Nexio.

The Nexio digital platform offers visibility into every technology, system and process employed by the business.

Digital transformation is an ongoing activity that requires buy-in at almost every level of the business, says Chris Volschenk, CEO at Nexio.
