Discover how to mitigate against the evolving threat of DDoS and application attacks in the age of accelerated digitalisation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Digitalisation in the African continent is at an all-time high and so are cyber threats. Ransomware and advanced phishing are causing havoc, while application-layer attacks (L7) are becoming increasingly targeted and more disruptive. Cyber threats such as HTTP floods, bot-driven abuse, and vulnerability exploitation continue to disrupt the availability, performance, and security of essential web applications whether your organisation is a start-up e-commerce platform, critical government department/agency or a leading financial institution.
