The Wolf Howl September 2024 Edition – Celebrating Heritage and Cybersecurity
Greetings Cyberwolves,
Welcome to our September edition of "The Wolf Howl".
As spring breathes new life into South Africa this September, the vibrant colours of our nation's diversity come into full bloom.
Just as we safeguard our cultural heritage, we must protect our countries, companies and communities against the everchanging cyber threats that challenge our security and peace of mind. This month, we proudly honour the heritage that makes our country unique and has defined us all.
At Wolfpack Information Risk, we believe in the power of unity and diversity - both in the cultures we cherish and the cybersecurity strategies we develop. As we gear up for Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, we are committed to ensuring your organisation's crown jewels are prepared to face the latest digital challenges.
Let's continue to protect our cultural and digital legacies while celebrating the values that make our rainbow nation resilient.
In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our nation.". Let's do this, Cyberwolves!
Yours Securely

South Africa has faced two major cyber security breaches this year and has been the victim of ongoing cyber abuse over a significant period, which cost millions of rands in losses.
Cyber inequity and the growing skills shortage are major issues that must become a national imperative.
The rising demand for cybersecurity education offers a major opportunity for colleges to expand enrollment. As cyber threats grow, institutions can stay competitive by developing specialised programmes that attract students. Strategic partnerships with cybersecurity companies provide hands-on training, equipping students with industry-relevant skills. This approach boosts enrollment and prepares graduates for the rapidly growing cybersecurity job market.
