  • Superb tech news for Mzansi

    I love that it’s specific to SA but not confined to products available here. The hosts are nerds but not the awkward kind.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TCS+ | ‘The ISP for ISPs’: Vox’s shift to wholesale aggregator
Q: Could you start by telling us about yourself and how you got into technology?
Andre explains a family background in telecom, growth within the industry, and a move into wholesale and product management before returning to Vox's retail side, highlighting a deep understanding of both wholesale access and retail execution.
TCS | Werner Lindemann on how AI is rewriting the infosec rulebook
Q: Is there a practical path for African banks or large enterprises to begin a security transformation without breaking the budget?
Yes, by prioritizing critical pillars, adopting structured frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC2, and progressively moving toward zero-trust with a phased approach that matches organizational risk appetite and resources.
TCS | Werner Lindemann on how AI is rewriting the infosec rulebook
Q: How should governments and large organizations approach identity and data security in light of AI and potential quantum threats?
Adopt the identity as the new perimeter, secure digital identities (including machine identities and keys), implement robust certificate lifecycle management, and begin preparing data strategies to withstand quantum-era decryption.
TCS | Werner Lindemann on how AI is rewriting the infosec rulebook
Q: From a threat perspective, what are you seeing out there in African markets and is it different from the rest of the world?
The threat landscape is broadly similar, but Africa faces more pronounced skill gaps and spend challenges; AI accelerates both defense and offense, increasing scale, speed, and the need for local capabilities.
TCS | MTN’s Divyesh Joshi on the strategy behind Pi
Q: Why launch a new brand name Pi instead of marketing under MTN?
Pi represents a new formula for mobile and home connectivity; the name emphasizes ease of use, with the tagline 'as easy as pie' to convey simplicity and a frictionless experience.
