Priviso Live Episode 55: One year in

Join Lyn, John, and Stephen as they celebrate one year of Priviso Live with an action-packed anniversary episode that cuts through the noise of cybersecurity, privacy law, and emerging tech threats.

What You'll Discover:

- The Johannesburg CCTV controversy comes full circle. Remember that heavy-handed by-law forcing residents to register private security cameras? We revisit what happened when citizens fought back—and won.

- The UK's digital ID debate takes an authoritarian turn as the government dismisses 2.7 million petition signatures.

- YouTube's massive $24.5 million settlement with President Trump raises uncomfortable questions: Are we creating a two-tiered content moderation system where power trumps policy? And what does this mean for platform accountability?

- Closer to home, ransomware strikes a South African HVAC company, exposing the hidden risks in third-party vendors. We connect the dots between this attack and broader threats facing African government agencies, including urgent warnings about SARS eFiling compromises during tax season.

But it's not all doom and gloom.

- Kenya's pioneering digital credentials initiative offers a glimpse of how blockchain technology could revolutionise education verification across Africa, eliminating fraud while improving accessibility.

Main Topic: Do phishing simulations actually work? We examine the surprising research on whether those fake attack emails make staff safer—or just more anxious. Spoiler: The answer depends entirely on how you do them.
