Advice for CEOs on protecting their organisations from phishing and ransomware
People are currently most susceptible to cyberattacks, given not only the higher number of remote workers than ever before due to the COVID19 pandemic (which brings its own complications), but also their heightened emotional vulnerability during these difficult times.

The sudden, radical move to remote working during this time of lockdown for South Africa brings with it the promise of a new and more effective way of working – without being bound to a physical office. Not only does this surge in the use of remote work capabilities have massive implications on the corporate culture and on productivity levels; but it also brings with it more immediate consequences from a security and privacy perspective that cannot be ignored.

Organisations are facing difficult business continuity and remote-working decisions, that ideally require a simple, secure and consistent way to maintain workforce productivity.
