constant search of bleeding Edge
technologies that are relevant to the
needs of enterprises in the region.
Enterprises are armed with the latest
cybersecurity technologies, but all
these technologies are working in
silos, resulting in security gaps,
which can prove risky.
pectrami, a primary

the distribution partnership with
a leading cybersecurity asset
management vendor, Axonius.

cybersecurity asset management
platform to manage end-to-end

The platform identifies the security
coverage gaps and automates their
security policy enforcement.

are glad to partner with Axonius to
introduce its cybersecurity asset
management platform, which provides
a unified view of all the assets and
allows enterprises to take action to
enforce its security policies.”

growing cybersecurity value-added

A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS
THE RANSOMWARE MENACE
rcserve Southern Africa has
A
announced the availability of the
Arcserve Ransomware readiness
assessment which enables businesses
to measure their capabilities and chart a
path to a ransomware-free future.
Byron Horn-Botha, Arcserve Southern
Africa Lead: Channel and Partnerships,
said: “Ransomware has become one of
the largest business risks and serves
as the most menacing threat to IT
organisations. It’s reached epidemic
proportions globally, with costs projected
to reach US$20 billion by 2021.”
Information security management is
an essential part of good IT
governance, particularly with respect
to protecting critical business and
personal data from ransomware.
Horn-Botha says the assessment
is constructed around a scorecard
that outlines the important areas that
companies should be scrutinising
within their businesses. “The scorecard
describes a five-level evolutionary path of
increasingly organised and systematically
more mature processes. For each of the
items in the ransomware-free framework,
you can assess your organisation’s
maturity score and consider your
priorities. Mark the box that best fits
your company profile. The assessment
shows businesses where they should be
restricting access to common ransomware
entry points, such as personal email
accounts and social networking websites.
It also shows how web filtering may be
used at the gateway and endpoint to
block phishing attempts for users who are
tricked into clicking on a link.” u
