As the global economy fluctuates, the weakening Rand has made it increasingly difficult for South African businesses to afford the skyrocketing costs of insourced cybersecurity. At the same time, the local cyber-skills shortage adds further pressure and exposure. In response, the trend towards outsourcing cybersecurity requirements to skilled and trusted managed security service providers (MSSPs) is rising.
With the July 2024 Global Threat Index indicating that South Africa, with an NRI of 42%, rose from 61st to 59th on the risk of most attacked countries and only 46% of local companies increasing their cybersecurity budgets last year, outsourcing is unquestionably the best way to acquire comprehensive and affordable defence products that protect data and ensure operational continuity.
