The footprint of cybercrime is exacerbating the numerous socio-economic problems in the region including financial loss, protest activity and malicious activity in cyberspace.
In recent years the South African government has made significant progress and investment towards securing a growing digital economy and the cyber threats that have come with it.
Hosted by Intelligence-Sec, Cyber Intelligence Africa 2022 brought enterprise and government law agencies together to learn more about emerging cybersecurity threats and mitigation techniques and technologies.
As the premier sponsor of the event, Resecurity shared their cyber intelligence expertise in a dedicated session. Here, they showcased their innovative platform that allows administrators to reduce potential blind spots and security gaps.
Resecurity does this by quickly seeing in-depth analysis and specific artefacts obtained through the dark web, botnets activity, network intelligence and high-quality threat intelligence data.
“Cyber Intelligence Africa showcased the impact international collaboration and cyber intelligence has in protecting the digital world we rely on every day.
"As cybercrime becomes more advanced and scales, next-generation cyber intelligence solutions that identify, manage and respond to threats will be critical,” said Gene Yoo, CEO of Resecurity.
“Resecurity is proud to have served as the premier sponsor of Cyber Intelligence Africa 2022 and looks forward to continuing to collaborate with law enforcement agencies worldwide to provide them the tools and technologies they need to defend their nations.”
