SECURE THE BROWSER - > SECURE THE BUSINESS.

Look at how your teams actually work.

Email.
SaaS applications.
Private web apps.
Collaboration platforms.
Generative AI tools.

For most organisations, 80–90% of daily activity flows through a browser.

Yet security is still often built around networks — not workspaces.

A browser-centric security model changes that.

It allows organisations to:

• Enforce Zero Trust access
• Apply consistent policy on and off the network
• Control data movement (copy, paste, uploads, downloads)
• Reduce infrastructure complexity
• Improve performance by eliminating traffic backhauling

Instead of adding another security layer, it strengthens the one where productivity already lives.

Somewhere along the way, “modern cybersecurity” became synonymous with more tools.

More agents.
More dashboards.
More infrastructure.
More cost.

But complexity doesn’t automatically equal protection.

In fact, fragmented security stacks often create:

• Visibility gaps
• Policy inconsistencies
• Operational overhead
• Slower response times

The more moving parts you introduce, the harder it becomes to manage risk effectively.

The real question isn’t whether you have enough cybersecurity tools.

It’s whether your architecture is simplifying risk — or multiplying it.

Cybersecurity: What is automation’s role in cloud-based networks?

Cloud-based networks depend on many devices and consist of a number of endpoints. While their management is demanding, a competently-engineered, centralised security system is able to enhance vital functions such as web filtering and boost traffic analysis on a proactive basis.

Essentially, this is as a result of the automation built into a fully-managed system which is geared to deliver around-the-clock protection with minimal human interaction and – importantly – administer critical system patch updates.

Financial firms are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals

Unfortunately leaked data may lead to double extortion tactics.

Ransomware attackers use multiple extortions to pressure victims into paying the ransom without delay.

Is there a key to the efficacy of cybersecurity barriers?

Unless users have a distinct understanding of their cloud services - in terms of how many instances are running, for example - it will be near-impossible to ensure the efficacy of cybersecurity barriers such as access authentication, traffic filtering and others.

Similarly, a clear visibility of assets, networks and cloud resources and how they are allocated is also vital if the constantly-evolving and increasingly-sophisticated malware security threats with which organisations are regularly faced are to be mitigated.

This is the target for businesses in 2022

In 2022, businesses should set out to minimise confusion, improve understanding and refine insights, not only in the implementation of the cloud, but also in the application of appropriate security solutions designed to protect data and applications from cyberattacks, phishing and ransomware as well as common theft, internal corruption or accidental deletion.

In this light, security policies, controls, procedures and technologies have to be defined and evaluated as to their abilities to work in harmony to protect cloud-based infrastructures against myriad attack vectors.

Do you have 20/20 vision?

They say that hindsight is 20/20 vision. Unfortunately, as the rate of cloud adoption continues to rise in 2022, the need for unobstructed views into the implementation of cloud services will be key to assisting companies drive down operating costs, scale their operations and develop agile systems capable of providing a competitive edge in business.

Moreover, a clear insight into how a cloud infrastructure could be expected to evolve within an organisation – this year and beyond - is essential if you want to plan ahead, keep abreast of advancements in cloud security and ensure that the latest privacy and regulatory compliance requirements are met.

Hackers linger in networks after a breach, gathering as much sensitive data as possible.
This is evident after the Transunion hack.

Sadly this "extortion" is not only limited to Transunion but also to the clients involved, as the hackers expect the parties involved to pay up if they don't want their data to be leaked.

It's not just data; personal information is a gold pot for hackers and fraudsters. Possible implications could be increased identity theft and targeting of smaller Financial firms and other firms with high profile information for extortion.

Cloud security and the need to clear confusion

More than 80% of South African businesses increased their spending on cloud computing in the last two years. Has this money been wisely spent? We see evidence of confusion around the levels of security associated with cloud services, particularly as this applies to work-from-home staff.

Do you ascribe this state of confusion to the corporate anxiety associated with managing the hybrid workforce that has developed since the pandemic?

A clear insight into how a cloud infrastructure will evolve is needed to allow decision-makers to plan ahead and keep abreast of advancements in cloud security.
