Cybe Security Report

Cyber Security as an Imperative for Growth

In today’s increasingly digital landscape, the attack vectors used by cyber criminals have increased substantially. Governments, NGOs, and individuals are all targets, and cyber security has evolved beyond a simple protective measure into a critical strategic investment for business growth.

Rising Vulnerability:

Modern digital systems, combined with human error, outdated infrastructure, and the rise of IoT devices, leaves organisations and individuals more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Cyber security awareness is not prioritised as a strategic thrust, with only 32% of organisations training their employees, and only 42% of SA organisations seeing cyber security as their top priority. .

Impact in South Africa:

80% of South African businesses experienced cyber attacks in the past year, resulting in annual losses of R2.2 billion. South Africa ranks as the 5th most affected nation globally, underscoring the urgent need for stronger cyber security measures. 

Digital Transformation Risks:

As Africa continues with its rapid digital transformation, the attack surface expands, driven by increased mobile subscriptions and internet penetration. This trend makes African countries more susceptible to cybercrime.

The Need for 360-Degree Cyber Security Strategies:

From national policies to corporate frameworks and public awareness, comprehensive cyber security strategies are critical for building resilience against increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Regulatory Compliance:

Compliance with regulations like South Africa’s POPIA and the EU’s GDPR is vital. These frameworks help organisations protect sensitive data and maintain trust through stringent security measures.
