As organizations across Africa adopt AI, automated tools and autonomous systems, the digital threat landscape is changing rapidly. Traditional security awareness training historically focused on bridging knowledge gaps, but today's most urgent challenges are fundamentally behavioral, and they involve more than just human employees.
I want to start with a confession that most security leaders will recognize but few will say out loud: almost everyone reuses passwords. Not the reckless or the untrained. Everyone including, if we are honest, a fair number of people in our own profession.

Tens of thousands of European organizations are legally accountable for the security of companies they do not control but on whose services they rely. Under Article 21(2)(d) of the NIS2 Directive, any in-scope entity is required to manage supply chain security, including the security aspects of its relationships with its direct suppliers and service providers. Article 21(3) further specifies that an organization must take each supplier’s specific vulnerabilities into account.

With inboxes increasingly well guarded, cybercriminals are turning to a more vulnerable front in their attacks against your digital workforce.
When an organization has a security breach, it can cause significant financial, reputational and logistical damage. But in healthcare, where patient lives are on the line, the consequences can be much more catastrophic.
KnowBe4’s latest whitepaper on healthcare cybersecurity, “Hacking the Healers: How the Digital Workforce Became Cybersecurity's Frontline,” examines how decentralized clinical operations, remote staff and autonomous AI agents have dissolved traditional network perimeters, leaving healthcare organizations and patient safety vulnerable to targeted cyberattacks.
Attackers are using “wrong-number” texts to identify potential targets for scams, according to researchers at Malwarebytes.
These texts appear to be harmless messages meant for another person, such as “Are we still on for dinner tomorrow?” or “Where’s the PowerPoint?” Recipients often try to be helpful by replying to let the person know they’ve got the wrong number. This reply, however, informs the threat actor that the phone number is active and marks it for future scams.
A study has found that AI chatbots can be more effective at social engineering than human scammers, WIRED reports. The researchers looked at a form of romance scam commonly known as “pig butchering,” in which scammers spend weeks or months building a relationship with the victim before tricking them into sending money for a phony investment scheme.
AI is making social engineering attacks significantly more effective, according to a new report from cyber insurance firm Resilience. These attacks were behind more than 85% of losses in the first half of 2026, compared to less than 20% during H1 2024.
