Why should you attend?

Technology buyers are increasingly asking questions that go beyond cybersecurity: 

  • How do we protect sensitive data? 
  • How do we maintain control of encryption keys? 
  • How do we support compliance requirements? 
  • How do we strengthen operational resilience? 
  • How do we prepare for AI and future cryptographic threats? 
  • How do we demonstrate trust to customers, regulators and stakeholders? 

These conversations are creating new opportunities for partners to expand their advisory role, develop specialist services, and lead higher-value customer engagements around digital trust, compliance and resilience. 

This opportunity is specifically highlighted as part of the Climb-Utimaco partnership strategy.  

Why This Opportunity Matters Now

Across South Africa, organisations are placing greater focus on: 

Compliance & Governance: Increasing regulatory and governance requirements are driving demand for stronger security controls, encryption and data protection.  

Data Sovereignty: Customers want greater visibility and control over where their sensitive data resides and who manages encryption keys.  

AI & Digital Trust: As organisations embrace AI, they need trusted security foundations to ensure sensitive information remains protected and governed appropriately.  

Post-Quantum Readiness: Forward-thinking organisations are beginning to evaluate how future quantum threats could impact long-term data security and compliance initiatives.
