Cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s essential. And with it comes mastering cybersecurity compliance. Organisations risk significant financial and reputational damage if they fail to protect their valuable information from unauthorised access. With cyberattacks striking constantly and most breaches exploiting human error, regulators are imposing significant penalties. In this webinar series, Michalsons guides you through essential cybersecurity principles, clarifies key regulatory requirements (including POPIA, the GDPR, the King Code, and South Africa’s Joint Standard on Cybersecurity), and equips you with practical strategies to manage compliance. You’ll gain actionable insights into the crucial combination of technical controls and human factors and learn how to respond confidently when incidents occur. We’ll help equip you against AI-powered phishing, supply-chain hacks, and other sophisticated threats, transforming compliance into a strategic advantage.
