JOHANNESBURG – MTN Business has moved to protect its clients from the growing risk of cyber-based fraud and theft as the cost of global cybercrime expected to pass the $2 trillion mark by 2019.

Mandisa Ntloko, Head of Marketing at MTN Business, says the company has expanded its portfolio of business ICT services to become an end-to-end ICT partner for business.

“And because cybercrime and fraud pose a fast-growing risk to the financial wellbeing and even survival of South African businesses, we have stepped up our security focus to allow us to offer a complete suite of
cyber security solutions to the local business market.”

MTN Business’s security portfolio includes MTN Email Security, Symantec Endpoint Protection, advanced Next Generation Firewall, Virtual Firewall, Vulnerability Assessment, MobileIron Enterprise Mobility Management and IBM MaaS360.

MTN believes effective IT security must include strong IT governance and the right partner or technology selections.

“While there is no silver bullet to end these threats, there are risk mitigating steps business should be taking,” says Ntloko.
