SearchInform holds road show in South Africa

Information security experts as well as top managers and executives were among those to attend SearchInform’s road show, themed Money Loss Prevention: futuristic security, in South Africa.

The company entered the South African market in March 2018 and has immediately engaged businesses to showcase its solutions.

The company offers a fresh perspective on cybersecurity, replacing a standard Data Leak Prevention (DLP) with innovative Money Loss Prevention (MLP).

At the road show, held in Centurion, Gauteng, SearchInform experts explained the difference between the old and the new approach and indicated the essentials which make MLP the optimal solution.

Attendees were alerted to the multiple array of threats a company should be aware of and heard about real-life cases involving incidents due to human behaviour, from both an employer and employee perspective. These incidents are a powerful reminder to security-conscious decision-makers never to take the human factor for granted.

SearchInform DLP + Forensic Suite product was introduced as a number of independent modules which could be integrated for comprehensive control. The components are responsible for monitoring various communication channels and data storages and alert company managers and information security officers to any violations of security policies.

Information security research is carried out during the conferences, the results of which all the attendees will learn in Autumn 2018.

Jorina Van Rensburg, MD of SearchInform South Africa, said: “Our goal was to get the message about the holistic MLP technology across. I would like to believe we managed to do that as we received multiple inquiries about how to apply SearchInform products in various business settings.

“The benefits of this futuristic technology are substantial, ranging from reducing money loss due to fraud and corruption, to optimising your human resources and work efficiency. In terms of comprehensive economic security, SearchInform is definitely a trend-setter in South Africa. I’m glad to be able to say that we’re winning more and more hearts and minds of the local business community.”
