In an era where South African local governments face escalating cyber threats - from ransomware and phishing surges to compliance pressures under POPIA - securing municipal operations has never been more critical.
This session spotlights one municipality's authentic organisational cybersecurity journey: building robust defences "at home" within their own systems, data, and services.
Discover the vital role of a thoughtful strategic approach to risk prioritisation, disciplined implementation of foundational controls, proactive management with ongoing intelligence oversight, true resilience to withstand attacks with minimal disruption to public services, and strong recoverability for swift restoration and learning.
Gavin shares real insights, practical lessons, challenges overcome, and incremental wins that prove meaningful progress is achievable even with limited resources - leaving you inspired and equipped to strengthen your own municipality's cyber posture.
