The power of video analytics – A Tech Central podcast

Posted on by admin

A camera is no longer just a lens or sensor.  Instead we are witnessing a fusion between camera vision with deep learning technologies that enable video analytics to become more accurate in extracting and classifying metadata and transforming video into usable intelligence.

When this analytical data gets input into AI engines, it will not only provide us with intelligent information but serves as a basis for predicting future trends and behaviours which help us enhance our own decision-making over time.

The unstructured video data uses metadata to give context to visual images and makes them easy to find, understand and use in helping users quickly glean actionable intelligence from what they see, whether it is classifying objects or attributes like colour, speed, and direction.

One is even able to identify a person’s mood (happiness, sadness and anger) with analytics that use sentiments. This ability to aggregate and parse video data in numerous ways makes video analytics a super tool with endless possibilities without requiring time-intensive human interaction, and making video analytics invaluable in a number of fields.

Listen to Rudi Potgieter, Executive Head of Guardian Eye at Vox, as he speaks about the power of video analytics.

Understanding Cyber Security Risk – A Vox Webinar

Posted on by Richard Frost

Did you know?

• 95% of hacking attacks start with a phishing email
• 24% of breaches are caused by human error
• The cost of the average attack rose from R3M to R4M in 2021
• South Africa is the third most targeted country in the world
• It took organisations around 280 days to identify a breach
• The majority of companies who were hit with ransomware said their backup was compromised

And the frightening fact is that most South African organisations don’t have the right Cyber Security tools in place or the skills to manage them.

Is your business one of them?

Armata Cyber Security’s Richard Frost, along with fellow industry experts, Craig Rosewarne from Wolfpack Information Risk, Ryan van de Coolwijk from ITOO Special Risks and Christian Jeurissen from Africa Group|IB, discuss how to best protect your business when security threats are ever-present.

Topics include:

1. Key statistics in the Cyber Insurance industry.
2. Key trends seen by Cyber Incident Response companies.
3. The importance of User Awareness Training in Cyber Security.
4. An introduction to Armata, Vox’s Cyber Security offering.

Vox Podcast: Identity Theft

Posted on by Suhail Dinat

With Cyber Security Month being in full swing, we turn our thoughts to Identity Theft.

At first glance, it may seem like a throwaway joke from The Office or some far away construct from a distance land. However, Identity Theft is very real, increasingly prevalent on our local shores and, if we’re not careful, could be the driving force behind our next spate of Cyber Crimes.

We know, we know, you’re probably thinking “why would anyone want to be me?”. Sadly, to Cyber Criminals, it’s less about the identity and more about the theft. Anyone, anywhere can be a target – but we won’t give too much away (although we have written a whole piece about it right over here).

That being said, the theory is that “a picture is worth a thousand words, but a Podcast is worth two thousand blogs” (or so we think…)

Check out the first episode of The Official Vox Podcast as our Cyber Security Experts, Archie Pieterse and Gustav Koekemoer, talk about all things Identity Theft related!

Rise FM Interview with Mayleen Bywater on Email Security

Posted on by Duo Marketing

The lockdown has highlighted the importance of cybersecurity as an integrated business process especially given the normalisation of remote working. But while the focus has been on safeguarding employee devices, email security has fallen by the wayside. And yet, 95% of cyberattacks leverage email as an entry point into organisational back-end systems.

Perhaps even more concerning is that last year 94% of malware was delivered by email. Fast forward to the present and the dynamic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic mean organisations can ill afford to neglect one of the most fundamental elements of their business. But email defence entails more than just installing an anti-virus or firewall. It centres on increasing the business resilience against all forms of malware while still delivering business continuity and disaster recovery should the worst happen.

Listen to Mayleen Bywater, Senior Product Manager for Email & SMS at Vox, as she talks about email security and tips that organisations can implement, such as:

  • How to proactively protect your business from phishing and spam
  • How mail management services can gear your business for POPIA compliance
  • How technology can assist in preventing human error when it comes to email security
  • Provide a 360-degree view on how to store and manage your data
  • And other hints and tips, such as using strong passwords, changing passwords regularly and ensuring that you have an effective email security protection solution.
