Charged with the daunting task of safeguarding sensitive data in an environment where the technologies and techniques used by bad actors are constantly evolving, the role and value of the CISO has increased dramatically in recent years.

With cybersecurity now also a board priority, the CISO has been rapidly elevated to a lofty position of corporate responsibility and scrutiny, but is living a life of constant pressure.

What are the challenges they are facing? How are budgets being allocated? How are they running their operations?

To delve deeper into the issues, trends and challenges confronting CISOs, ITWeb, in collaboration with MTN Business, is proud to present the third annual edition of South Africa's CISO Survey.

By participating in this survey, you will contribute valuable insights that will shape an exclusive research report: the ITWeb Brainstorm / Security Summit CISO report. This report will provide an in-depth analysis of the current cybersecurity landscape, highlighting trends, best practices, and emerging threats faced by CISOs in South Africa.

The findings of this survey will be unveiled at the prestigious ITWeb Security Summit CISO Banquet 2024.

We invite you to take a few moments from your busy schedule to share your expertise and perspective. As a valued respondent, you will not only gain early access to this vital research but also have the opportunity to network with fellow members of the South African CISO community at the exclusive banquet.

Your participation is invaluable in shaping the future of cybersecurity in South Africa. We look forward to your contribution and the opportunity to collaborate in advancing cybersecurity excellence.
