WORKSHOP SESSION Workshop Session 2 | 14:00 – 15:00 Building your Cyber Resilience for Email Strategy Email is at the intersection of a massive amount of risk. As the number one business application that organizations depend on for communication, it’s also the number one attack vector for cyber criminals. Despite significant investments in security defenses, attackers continue to infiltrate organization through targeted and advanced techniques that go beyond social engineering and impersonation attacks. As cyber-attacks on organisations and individuals become increasingly common, businesses will need to ensure they have comprehensive cyber resilience strategies in place.

www.logitech.com/en-za

Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users.

Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system.

With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control.

For each of our product categories, we study how our customers use their digital devices, and then our designers and engineers set their sights on how we can create a better experience with those devices – richer, more comfortable, more fun, more productive, more convenient, more delightful.

WORKSHOP SESSION Workshop Session 1 | 11:45 - 12:45 Trends in Video Collaboration - where/how does Logitech play a role?

The South African market is prime for low cost VC solutions with the introduction of cloud applications and Logitech fills this requirement by providing high quality, low cost, easy to use products which alleviates the budget pressure end users could face when looking to roll-out more advanced VC Solutions.

Priced for mass deployment and added to that, free software/firmware upgrades and 24/7 Support - Logitech is a serious player in the VC end point device Market.

And ISPs are stepping up to the plate to help businesses provide the kind of UX they expect.

In our experience, what we have found is that today’s businesses face four main challenges when it comes to cybersecurity: • • • •

There is no consolidated view of all activity across your heterogeneous architecture Current signature-based technologies are no match for highly motivated attackers Advanced persistent threats require real-time detection and proactive response Events lack enrichment and context that empower data driving decision making

The Snode Guardian cybersecurity platform utilises learning machines, interactive data visualisations and data fusion at scale to provide your organisation with a “single source of truth” by seamlessly integrating into your key data sources and providing you with a consolidated view through a single pane of glass with real-time contextual alerting, enabling proactive responses to all threats in your network.

Everything from printers to wearable devices are interconnected within your corporate network and emerging trends such as IoT and cloud technologies further your risk exposure and are often left relatively unprotected. Guardian protects your network by securing the devices you own, whilst protecting against those you don’t, enabling businesses to establish a robust security posture that minimizes the risks faced by the ever-changing technology landscape.

WORKSHOP SESSION Workshop Session 1 | 11:45 - 12:45 Proactive Cyber Risk Management through Predictive Threat Analytics Organisations have invested in multiple endpoint solutions to protect their businesses, however none of these signaturebased technologies detect network-wide vulnerabilities in real time and nor are these technologies able to defend against unknown cyber threats.

Snode’s cyber security platform utilises learning machines, mathematics, and a synergy between both human and artificial intelligence (Intelligence Amplification) to monitor, detect and proactively respond to all threats on every device within your network, from traditional desktop computers through to BYOD, cloud and IoT devices.

Financial IT Financial IT is the online and print resource for FinTech market analysis. We provide a unique and valuable forum for people involved in the change process to learn and exchange ideas and knowledge – as technology cements its pivotal role in supporting the financial markets. Financial IT also reflects the changing environment in business and operations when appropriate. It has been difficult for the media to reflect accurately the real values of technology, whether old or new, against the backdrop of aggressive development and marketing. This has confused the buyers in the marketplace and has detrimentally elongated the procurement process.
