As much as we like to believe that we are in control of our lives and what happens in our organisations, we are very much at the mercy of macro-level undercurrents. Everyone is impacted, and the most vulnerable are hit the hardest. The same scenario applies to the growing plague of cybercrime running rife in our communities. Despite pockets of competence on our continent, our strategic and tactical response to this problem could be more effective. The 2023 South African Information Security Thermometer Report generated local stats for information security decision makers by asking 50 challenging questions across ten areas ranging from medium to large companies from different industries. A decade on, the industry has asked us to delve into exercise again. SA organisations can compare where the industry has evolved across the same ten domains, establish what new threats appeared on the radar and how prepared SA companies are to defend themselves. 120 CISOs / CIOs participated in this exercise, which enabled South African companies to benchmark their organisations against industry peers.

The comprehensive study, report and webinars will be shared via ten webinars over ten months. Wolfpack is excited to share the comprehensive report with our community and hopes you find this report useful to guide your information security strategy and planning initiatives. I want to extend my warmest thanks to all participating companies for taking the time and courage to respond with such honesty. It is through the commitment of a select few to improve security that the community as a whole will benefit. Cyber defenders have a tremendous responsibility to protect our country, company and the community entrusted to us. Find your pack and partner to make a difference. If you require deeper insight or analysis:

1. Wolfpack provides customers with the comfort and assurance that business disruption from cybersecurity risk has been sufficiently reduced according to their business needs. Our Approach is to take the complexity out of Information Security. This starts with understanding specific cyber risks and the controls required to mitigate these risks. We will facilitate an interactive workshop with senior IT, Information security or Privacy team members to compare your organisation to local statistics derived from the benchmarking exercise. More detailed quantitative data will be shared to provide valuable insight into your budgeting and strategic planning processes.
2. As part of our mentorship contribution, we can provide independent feedback and guidance to your steering committee or oversight of key projects.
