Cisco and the importance of cybersecurity and the cybersecurity skillset shortage
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.
The importance of keeping your phone secure, a conversation with HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones.
There’s no denying that technology is an integral part of modern day life with our mobile phones being arguably one of the most important, personal pieces of tech that we use every day.
According to the GSMA’s Mobile Economy Report Series, smartphone adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa stood at 64% and is expected to grow by 75% by 2025.
With mobile phones being one of the primary means of connecting to family, work and the internet, keeping your data safe on your phone is of utmost importance.
In this episode, I speak to Patrick Henchie, the Head of Product and Operations at HMD Global Sub Sahara Africa about the brand’s commitment to keeping your device secure and up to date and why that matters. Like many of you, a Nokia phone was my first ever mobile phone. HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, retains the security and reliability that is part of the ethos of the Nokia brand, making them the best people to speak about the importance of keeping your device, and your data, secure and up to date.

Should banks be more than just a bank? Red Hat's Monica Sasso joins to discuss the future of financial institutions and technology.
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.
IBM South Africa and the future of innovation in banking
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.

Who is RedHat and why should your business partner with them?
The new normal is a phrase that we've all heard being used to describe the way that productivity has changed in the past 2 years.
While the discussion often centers around companies and employees adapting to remote or hybrid ways of working, I think that it should also be used to describe how the software and technologies we use should work together to help us achieve our goals, but in order to do that, the big tech companies would need to adopt a strategy that breaks down the silos of communication and foster an environment of communication, problem-solving and finding the best solution for the end-user.
RedHat is a company that embodies all of these qualities and more. In our second episode of this special series, I'll be chatting to Johan Scheepers Senior Manager of Solution Architects at Red Hat in Sub-Saharan Africa about who RedHat actually is and why their impressive customer-centric ethos as well as why partnering RedHat is the best option for your business

How Royal HaskoningDHV is utilising technology to solve the water crisis
Did you know that despite the fact that water covers 70% of our planet, only 3% of the world's water is fresh, two-thirds of that is tucked away in frozen glaciers or is otherwise unavailable for our use and that as a result some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year?
Water is our most precious natural resource, but faced with an increasing global population, over-exploitation, and pollution, this resource is under threat.
In today's episode, I'll be speaking to Sheila de Carvalho, Director Business Unit: Industry & Smart Asset Management at Royal HaskoningDHV, about how technology can be used to address the water crisis. We'll be looking at the optimal use of water systems, smart solutions, efficient IT, monitoring, analysis, integration, and big data management.
Facebook wants to connect the next one billion people to the internet
Since 2013, Facebook Connectivity has helped bring more than 500M people online to a faster internet and now aims to enable affordable, high-quality connectivity for the next billion people with emerging technologies.
Commenting on the new connectivity technologies, Dan Rabinovitsj, VP of Facebook Connectivity said, “ We have seen that economies flourish when there is widely accessible internet for individuals and businesses. In Nigeria, increased broadband connectivity resulted in a 7.8 percent increase in the likelihood of employment for people in areas connected to fibre optic cables. While increased connectivity led to a 19 percent increase in GDP per capita in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Facebook Connectivity works with partners to develop new technologies for access to high speed internet. Today we’re sharing the latest developments on some of these connectivity technologies, which aim to deliver major improvements in internet capacity across the world by sea, land, and air.”

Digitisation and the importance of bridging the digital divide
According to a report released by Accenture, digital initiatives can help South Africa unlock over R5 trillion in value

Clubhouse, spatial audio and the future of social audio
If you’ve been online anytime in the past few months you’ve probably heard of Clubhouse, the social audio app that’s spurred a new wave of live audio services from some of the biggest names in social media.
Founded by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, Clubhouse was initially released exclusively on iOS back in March of 2020 and it’s only in May 2021 that the company launched an app for Android users. Despite this delay in catering to Android users, Clubhouse managed to amass an incredible 600 000 registered users by December 2020 and just a few months later, in March 2021, that number had grown to over 10 million weekly active users.
Recently, the company has announced a range of new offerings including a partnership with Ted - the brand behind the popular Ted Talks - payments for content creators, and most recently, spatial audio.
I spoke to Justin Uberti, Clubhouse’s Head of Streaming, about the new spatial audio feature, the future of audio, and how Clubhouse is able to be both the underdog and the unicorn that everyone in the tech world is trying to emulate.
