Cybersecurity at the Heart of Digital Transformation in Africa
In the face of multiplying cyber threats, TransNumerik, present in six countries, accompanies organizations in their digital transformation, placing cybersecurity at the center of its priorities. Its co-founder and deputy general manager, Souleyman Sidibe, emphasizes the urgency of integrating cybersecurity at the heart of every company's strategy.
According to him, the most frequent ones observed among its clients are phishing campaigns, increasingly sophisticated thanks to artificial intelligence, followed by ransomwares, particularly feared as they paralyze activity, and finally, human mistakes, often at the source of malicious or accidental leaks of sensitive information.
The ransomware is deemed the most dangerous, due to the financial impact it can generate. Companies sometimes find themselves without a solution, deprived of their data, and unable to recover them, even in the event of ransom payment.
Artificial intelligence represents a major asset in this fight.
Like hackers who exploit it to attack, companies can also use it to defend themselves. Autonomous analysis and threat response tools are capable of acting 24/7 without human intervention.
Certain structures, like banks, or large enterprises, are privileged targets for ransomwares. SMEs, less well-protected, are often targeted by phishing attacks.
TransNumerik offers modular solutions, adapted to the size, maturity, and budget of each company. This ranges from accessible tools like those of Microsoft to evolving cybersecurity by stages, with maturity audits, intrusion tests, and strategic recommendations.
