Veritech Managed Services Leads the Way in Cybersecurity Awareness and Cyber Resilience in South Africa
Cybersecurity awareness in South Africa remains a significant concern, with research indicating that a substantial portion of businesses lack even the most basic understanding of cyber risks. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, with South Africa emerging as a prime target for cyberattacks.
Key Challenges Identified
Low Awareness Levels
Many South African businesses and individuals are not sufficiently aware of cyber threats or best security practices, leaving them highly susceptible to attacks.
Skills Gap
There is a notable shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals in the country, limiting organisations’ capacity to effectively address their cybersecurity needs.
Lack of Comprehensive Awareness-Building Tools
Current cybersecurity awareness initiatives are often fragmented, lacking a cohesive and integrated approach to educating users on cyber risks.
Educational Programmes
The Cyber Schools Toolkit, developed in collaboration with UNISA, seeks to instil a cybersecurity mindset and culture in school environments.
Private Sector Initiatives
Veritech Managed Services is actively providing cybersecurity training and resources to both businesses and individuals across the country.
