South Africa is emerging as a vibrant hub of innovation, with a dynamic tech ecosystem and a growing community of skilled professionals driving progress across industries. Yet, as the digital landscape expands, so too does the need to strengthen our cybersecurity infrastructure and retain the talent that powers it. As South Africa gears up for Cyber Security Awareness Month (celebrated globally in October), our position as an emerging digital economy is scruitinised.

Dr Aradhana Mansingh, School Manager at the MANCOSA School of Business Excellence, points out that this is very concerning when one considers South Africa's ambitions to become one of the biggest digital economies in Africa. "There needs to be a reformation in the South African tech industry, and it needs to take place very soon," says Dr Mansingh.
