According to the WEF, digital infrastructure supports almost every aspect of our lives, from healthcare and banking to energy.  Thanks to our increased reliance on technology, cyberattacks pose a larger threat to the success of organisations, and the welfare of individuals now more than ever before. Even the smallest of data leaks can lead to huge ramifications further up the business chain and poor cybersecurity at home could prove to a weak link for many. In light of the growing demand for cybersecurity skills thanks to increasing instances of breaches and detections, closing the cybersecurity skills gap is absolutely crucial. In this episode, I speak to Conrad Steyn, CTO and Head of Engineering for Cisco Sub Saharan Africa about the importance of cybersecurity, the cybersecurity skillset shortage and Cisco's recent cybersecurity survey of general consumers across Europe and Middle East. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/techreframed/message
