LEARN ABOUT THE SHIFTING RANSOMWARE LANDSCAPE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND BEYOND
Today’s attackers employ advanced techniques such as double and triple extortion, crippling operations and exposing organisations to significant legal, reputational, and financial consequences.
As regulatory requirements under POPIA, the Cybercrimes Act, King IV, and international standards like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS become increasingly stringent, organisations must shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, policy-aligned defence strategies.
In this expert-led webinar, hosted in collaboration with ITWeb, we’ll explore the critical intersection of ransomware resilience and South Africa’s compliance obligations.
Join this event to unlock insights as we explore:
How the ransomware landscape is shifting from data encryption to extortion-as-a-service
How to build ransomware resilience in your organisation and why it matters
How ransomware events create compliance pitfalls that impact data privacy, operational continuity, breach reporting timelines, and board-level governance duties
The power of automation and orchestration in delivering a fast, compliant incident response
