17 July: POP Event – Talk on Cyber Defence

Join the Wharton Club of South Africa for an informative evening with Noam Rosenfeld, former cyber defence commander in the Israel Defence Forces, and Ronen Milman, former head of special operations at the Israeli Security Agency (both now senior vice presidents at Verint) who will be discussing the need for senior executives to take control of their organisations’ cyber defence, and not only leave this responsibility to the IT department.

We concur with former French Prime Minister Clemenceau who said, “War is too important to leave to the generals”, and believe that this session will leave you better prepared to face what the World Economic Forum has dubbed the second most Interconnected Risks of 2019: large-scale cyber attacks plus breakdown of critical information infrastructure and networks.
