Cyberattacks are evolving faster than ever, and in the Global South, the risks are magnified by outdated infrastructure, regulatory gaps, and under-resourced teams. The truth is: Training is the single most effective way to reduce both the likelihood and the impact of cyber incidents.
Awareness isn’t optional. It’s become more than critical to equip entire organizations at all levels, from the boardroom to frontline staff with the tools and training to recognize threats, stop attacks in their tracks, and recover even stronger if breaches occur.
The Global South Is at Higher Risk
Recent reports show that two-thirds of African countries rank cybercrime among their top three security threats, with phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC) among the most damaging. Attackers are exploiting regions with weaker defenses as testing grounds before launching large-scale global campaigns.
That means organizations in the Global South face an increased risk: being targeted more often, and being less prepared to respond. With training, leaders hold the key to transform vulnerability into resilience.
Training Reduces Real-World Risk
Research from one of the world’s largest New-school Security Awareness Training and simulated phishing platforms KnowBe4 shows that organizations investing in security awareness training cut phishing success rates by up to 80% in one year. Beyond reducing clicks on malicious links, training builds a culture where unusual requests are questioned, urgent emails are verified, and suspicious behavior is reported early.
That culture is the difference between a close call and a catastrophic breach.
Learn from Global Experts Driving Training and Resilience
At the upcoming Global South Cybersecurity & Data Privacy (GS-CDP) Summit, our speakers will dig deep into this reality:
Jason Lau, a global leader in cybersecurity training, will show how closing skills gaps across teams directly improves defenses and strengthens compliance postures.
Rosalind Lake, Director at Norton Rose Fulbright South Africa, will demonstrate why even the most advanced policies fail without well-equipped teams to enforce them daily.
Rory Ebanks, a Jamaican security consultant, will highlight the need for region-specific training not just copying frameworks from the Global North, but tailoring strategies to the realities of emerging economies.
Together, these sessions will prove that training isn’t an expense, it’s the best return on investment an organization can make.
