Over the past few years, companies’ cloud and digital migration strategies have accelerated, making it mission-critical to protect corporate networks, digital assets, and critical infrastructure from cyber attacks.

Remote working, de-perimeterisation of organisations, and continuing fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war have led to a proliferation of cyber threats. As news of data breaches, ransomware, and organised cyber crime become the norm, it is incumbent on governments and businesses to ensure that their cyber security policies, practices and technology are up-to-date. Cyber security is no longer a grudge purchase or a nice-to-have – it is an essential investment in the future sustainability of businesses.

As governments and security professionals struggle to keep up with cyber attackers and to recruit and retain cyber security talent, what’s next for the cyber security industry in 2023?

To find out, join us for the fourth annual gathering of CISOs and security, risk and privacy professionals in Cape Town.

At ITWeb Security Summit in Cape Town, key themes that will be discussed include: how AI and ML are being used to detect and respond to cyber threats more effectively; the need for strong cloud security measures; what to consider when preparing your business response and the actual reality of dealing with an incident; how ransomware attacks are evolving and how to protect yourself; profiles and motives of hackers; how and why social engineering works in 2023; and much, much more! This is THE annual gathering for the cyber security community, when senior representatives from government, the public and private sectors, academia and industry experts come together to discuss and debate the latest developments in cyber security threats and how to counteract them.
