Enhanced cyber risk solutions
Since the start of the COVID-19 national lockdown period, cyber threats have increased. Cybersecurity company, Kaspersky, reported that South Africa has seen an unprecedented 10-fold increase in attacks on digital networks since the President declared a state of disaster on 15 March 2020.1
It is therefore important for clients to make sure that their businesses are protected against this increased exposure. Through our cyber partner, AVeS Cyber Security, we give all clients access to enhanced cyber risk solutions.
