According to KnowBe4 Africa, companies can no longer rely on a single solution to safeguard users and data.

Email remains the most common entry point for cyberattacks, with advanced phishing, business email compromise, and zero-day threats all evading standard defences.

This is the caveat from KnowBe4, which says companies can no longer rely on a single solution to safeguard users and data.

To this end, the company will host a complimentary webinar on October 29 in collaboration with ITWeb and ITWeb Africa, showcasing the ground-breaking integration of KnowBe4 Defend and Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

Experts Murali Natarajan, principal product manager at Microsoft, and Stuart Clark, vice president of product strategy at KnowBe4, will lead a discussion on how combining AI-powered threat detection with Microsoft's enterprise-grade security ecosystem provides businesses with a unified, streamlined, and highly effective email defence strategy.

The two will also look into how the integration closes important security gaps while lowering operational overhead.

The event is aimed at compliance, data protection, risk, and IT security decision makers in South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya.

CISO, chief compliance officer, chief privacy officer, general counsel, data protection officer, cyber security - director / manager / lead, head of cybersecurity, head of information technology, head of infrastructure and security, head of insider threat can all join this webinar to listen to and see live demonstrations of the integration in action.

Participants will explore how complementary technologies enhance protection and understand how to empower users as the last line of defence.

According to KnowBe4, with cyber threats growing more sophisticated each day, this webinar will equip security teams with the tools, insights and strategies to build resilience and reduce business risk.

Also, participants will learn how integrated defences reduce the number of malicious emails reaching inboxes; understand how layered protection prevents costly breaches; discover how unified quarantine and dashboards cut investigation time and reduce complexity as well as how to build a culture of human risk management, turning employees into proactive defenders.
