In our Women’s Day special, we bring you the latest on ICT legislation, cybersecurity, risk, and AI – straight from Johannesburg. Lyn, Stephen, and John unpack the biggest developments shaping South Africa’s digital landscape.
💡 This week’s highlights:
🔹 South Africa’s First Cybersecurity Warranty – BUI launches Cyber MXDR with up to R1 million in breach or cyber extortion cover, plus forensic, legal, and PR support. We explore why this could redefine local cyber defence – and why eligibility hinges on basic cyber hygiene.
🔹 Browser-in-the-Browser Facebook Scam – A sophisticated phishing technique using fake CAPTCHAs and flawless login overlays. Over 500,000 exposure attempts logged globally – we break down how it works and how to spot it.
🔹 The Kiffness Royalties Hack – Inside a real-world case of database tampering that nearly diverted artist royalties. We examine insider threats and the urgent need for stronger change controls.
🔹 Microsoft’s AI Job Impact Study – Analysis of 200,000 Bing Copilot sessions reveals which roles AI is already reshaping – from translators to sales reps – and why augmentation, not replacement, is the current reality.
🔹 SANS AI Security Guidelines – Practical steps for securing AI systems against data poisoning, prompt injection, and model tampering. We cover governance, zero-trust principles, and why safe adoption beats avoidance.
From cutting-edge defences to evolving threats, Episode 47 is packed with insights every business leader, IT professional, and policy-maker should hear.
