Securing the future
of digital business
In recent years, the landscape of our digital world has undergone unprecedented changes, reshaping the way we live and work. This has inevitable led to an increase in the scale, frequency and sophistication of cyberthreats. A recent report states that South Africa has seen a significant upsurge of attacks in 2023 putting all organisations at risk.
In response to these changes, organisations are actively seeking solutions to protect themselves against cyber threats. Security teams, once positioned at the perimeter, now find themselves at the epicentre, navigating the challenges posed by digital transformation, the ongoing pandemic, geopolitical tensions, talent shortages, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
ITWeb in partnership with BCX and Cisco are collaborating to present an interactive session that will address key aspects of cybersecurity, including detection, proactive threat hunting, and response strategies through automated playbooks and unlimited custom playbook possibilities. Addressing challenges such as the pressure to reduce operational downtime and the need for effective threat detection and response solutions, this event will cater to organisations at various stages of their security journey, offering solutions and insights into everything from emergency incident response to proactive security measures. Insights and learnings from Cisco's comprehensive suite of solutions together with BCX’s Threat Detection Centre Solutions, will provide attendees with tangible takeaways on how to protect their organisations both immediately and in the future.
Unpack your organisation’s security journey in today's uncertain threat environment and the importance of a robust incident response and a threat intelligence partner.
