According to the WEF, digital infrastructure supports almost every aspect of our lives, from healthcare and banking to energy.  Thanks to our increased reliance on technology, cyberattacks pose a larger threat to the success of organisations, and the welfare of individuals now more than ever before.



Even the smallest of data leaks can lead to huge ramifications further up the business chain and poor cybersecurity at home could prove to a weak link for many.



In light of the growing demand for cybersecurity skills thanks to increasing instances of breaches and detections, closing the cybersecurity skills gap is absolutely crucial.



In this episode, I speak to Conrad Steyn, CTO and Head of Engineering for Cisco Sub Saharan Africa about the importance of cybersecurity, the cybersecurity skillset shortage and Cisco's recent cybersecurity survey of general consumers across Europe and Middle East.

Technology is a tricky thing that doesn't always evolve at the same pace and the impact it has on society is undeniable but is there a point where companies should forgo chasing the latest technological innovation and just focus on their core business? 

Monica Sasso, Financial Services EMEA Chief Technologist at Red Hat, joins me to discuss whether banks should just be banks and what the future of finance could be as it continues to evolve with technology.

By now it comes as no surprise that COVID-19 drove the acceleration of technology adoption and innovation across the African continent.

In South Africa, we’re seeing the banking sector shaped by the entry of digital players and a changing consumer base which is leading to unprecedented levels of innovation.

With increasing customer demand for digitally native transactions comes the hybridizing of financial services with technology. In the past year alone there has been a significant uptick in competition as we witnessed the launch of three major branchless, digital banks focused on innovation, digital transformation, and improving the customer experience.

To get more insights into this, I spoke to Ria Pinto, GM and Technology Leader, IBM South Africa.
