This week on Priviso Live, we dive into the stories shaping the future of technology, security, and digital rights in South Africa and ask the question every IT and security professional should be sitting with: as AI accelerates into every corner of our organisations, who is accountable when it goes wrong?
Microsoft 365 E7 – The Frontier Suite | Microsoft has bundled Copilot, Agent 365, and the Entra security suite into one enterprise licence at $99/user/month. We break down what’s in the box, what it means for South African IT budgets, and why your Microsoft rep is about to become very persistent.
Meta’s AI Pivot and Mass Layoffs | Up to 16,000 jobs at risk as Meta doubles down on a $135 billion AI spend. Markets cheered. Workers didn’t. We unpack what this signals for the broader tech sector — and for anyone in IT who isn’t yet upskilling in AI.
South Africa’s Data Breach Crisis | A ransomware group exfiltrated 3.8TB of Gauteng citizen data: 3.6 million files, including ID documents and passports and listed them on the dark web for $25,000. Meanwhile, a new report confirms South Africa suffers a data breach every three hours, with 90% classified as preventable.
Lessons from the Olympics and World Cup | How mega-events prepare for nation-state cyberattacks, and what your organisation can steal from their incident response playbook.
The AI Incident Database | More than 1,000 documented cases of AI causing real-world harm. We introduce incidentdatabase.ai and explain why every practitioner deploying AI should have it bookmarked.
Recorded on Human Rights Day — and the conversation about privacy, dignity, and accountability in the digital age has never felt more urgent.
