As the Hawks investigates cyber attacks on the CR17 campaign, a security expert warns SA is experiencing a new wave of phishing attacks.

Phishing attacks can expose businesses to immense financial and reputational risk, says Mimecast.

The company secured two accolades at the 2019 Mimecast Partner Awards, including the ‘Top Performing Partner of the Year’ award.

While the number of female C-suite executives is on the increase in SA’s ICT sector, biased workplace systems and societal influences still hinder gender equality.

IT and security teams need threat intelligence that is easy to digest and actionable, says Mimecast.

Syrex is hosting a panel discussion examining the security, compliance and technical aspects of migrating data to the cloud.

Local companies saw an increase in phishing attacks containing malicious links or attachments in the past year, says Mimecast.

Mimecast’s Threat Center has discovered a weakness in Microsoft Excel that allows the remote embedding of malicious payloads.

Cyber crime and cyber security are issues that can hardly be separated in an interconnected environment, says Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams.

Cloud Essentials expects to see Microsoft-only solutions becoming the norm for most businesses in the near future.

Cyber resilience is about being proactive, not reactive, said Mimecast’s Brian Pinnock, at ITWeb Security Summit 2019 in the Mother City yesterday.

An effective cyber resilience strategy includes layered security protection, independent data storage, alternative access routes to key systems, and a backup plan, says Mikey Molfessis, cyber security expert at Mimecast SA.
