A Cyberattack Happens Every 11 Seconds, Choose Your Cloud Wisely
Sourced from International IDEA Cybersecurity experts predict that there is currently a cyberattack incident approximately every 11 seconds worldwide. This is almost double what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times more than five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). Aside from these concerning statistics, what is even more alarming is the degree to which the sophistication of these attacks has grown. We are just over a year and a half into the pandemic and the way organisations approach cybersecurity has been embraced at an accelerated pace. With the vast majority of companies adopting fully remote or hybrid working arrangements, there has been a firm focus on the implementation of additional cybersecurity measures to keep critical operations secure. But, despite all efforts ...
Can AI-Powered Virtual Assistants Unlock the Potential of SA Enterprises?
During the pandemic, South African businesses have put innovation on the backburner and focused on keeping their businesses operational in trying circumstances – it wasn’t about growth, it was about survival. Now, however, forward-looking companies are putting strategic growth back on the agenda and one of their priorities will be using technology to reinvent their businesses. Artificial intelligence (AI) as a means to automate tedious, repetitive tasks and enhance customer experience is likely to feature strongly in their plans. From HR to payroll and finance, businesses will be looking at how they can use virtual assistants to augment human capabilities and increase performance. Liberating Human Creativity The potential of personal virtual assistants lies in how they can take admin off p...
Cybersecurity Should Be a Top Priority for Africa’s Digital Transformation
Sourced from Travellers Cloud adoption in South Africa and many other African countries is accelerating, helped along by the COVID-19 workplace disruption, and the need to reduce costs, manage risk and scale, and become more competitive. There are many drivers behind digital transformation strategies and many decisions that need to be made, such as which public cloud to consume. However, this should be less urgent than addressing security concerns. As we continue to work with organisations in different industries spread across our diverse continent, cybersecurity and cyber risk are increasingly important considerations for the C-suite. Against the backdrop of high-profile security breaches and ransomware, addressing security weaknesses are a key part of the success of digital transformatio...

ProLabs: Edge Data Centres Are All About Location, Speed and Connectivity
Sourced from Shutterstock Data centre operators need more storage, computing power and higher bandwidth to connect more devices. On top of these needs, they have a requirement to reduce the time it takes to get data to and from their customers. This is according to ProLabs, a global leader in optical networking infrastructure. ProLabs is distributed in sub-Saharan Africa by Networks Unlimited. ProLabs notes that the result of these forces outlined above is the development of the edge data centre, also known as edge computing. To some degree, data centre operators have reached the limits of what can be done in large, centralised locations. Therefore, operators are creating new architectures for their data centres, and edge data centres are the result. Minimising latency ...
Network Disaster Recovery Plans are an Insurance Policy for Your Business Operations
Stefan van de Giessen, General Manager: Cybersecurity at Networks Unlimited. Civic-minded South Africans watched with growing concern at the recent extreme civil unrest incidents that flared up around parts of the country. Society and the government alike were caught largely unawares, with the defence minister shockingly clarifying that the South African security cluster ‘had almost been caught with its pants down’. “Whether you have a certain amount of admiration for the unexpected honesty of this statement from the minister, or are more interested in monitoring positive actions to counteract the recent looting, the fact remains that this explosion of unrest has a sobering message for South Africa on so many levels,” says Stefan van de Giessen, General Manager: Cybersecurity at Networks U...
Utopia P2P: How it Works
We, the 1984 Group, have developed a solution the global community has been in desperate need of for decades. In our modern time, which with every passing day seems to more closely resemble the dystopian world Orwell described in his classic novel 1984, a secure communication tool such as Utopia is more essential than ever. To begin, it is worth noting that Utopia is a third-generation peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which means that all nodes connected to the network are equal. A peer-to-peer network is a completely decentralized system without any reliance on central servers. The main advantage of abandoning the client-server architecture is the ability to maintain performance with any arbitrarily large number of network participants. We believe that any central server is a potential threat ...
