Sharon Knowles, Da Vinci Forensics Presents Critical Cyber Security Review At CyberCon Africa 2015

The topic of cyber security in South Africa has been elevated to reflect the extreme vulnerability of both private and public sectors. The attacks involving cybercrime, cyber espionage and cyber warfare cost billions each year and allow the breach of personal and proprietary data.  On Friday, November 5th, Sharon Knowles, CEO of the well-known cyber security company, Da Vinci Forensics, is presenting a crucial subject entitled ‘Attacker Perspective’ where she will be reviewing cyber ‘ghosting’ and ‘classifieds.

CyberCon Africa, 2015 is a two day conference in Wapadrand, Pretoria, bringing together the many leading experts in the cyber threat fields.
