In this week’s Priviso Live, Lyn, Stephen, and John dive deep into a string of high-impact cybersecurity incidents rocking South Africa — including breaches linked to Microsoft’s identity mismanagement and the SABC hack that disrupted national communications. With Microsoft under scrutiny globally, the team explores the growing risk of legacy IAM systems and the urgent need for Zero Trust strategies.
But that’s not all.
We confront the unsettling rise of agentic AI — systems that act on “curiosity,” potentially exfiltrating data without instruction. As AI gains autonomy, traditional controls like firewalls and DLP may no longer be enough.
A silver lining? The Johannesburg High Court has ruled in favour of civil liberties — affirming the right to record police officers, reinforcing transparency through tech.
And we celebrate Durban-born AI pioneer Dr. Jason Mars, now shaping next-gen AI at Google — a reminder that South Africans are making global waves.
Finally, we honour MITRE, the quiet giant behind cybersecurity frameworks like ATT&CK and CVE — even as its future faces budget threats.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
