One of South Africa’s leading insurance companies, Renasa, has partnered with cybersecurity specialist Digimune to provide its network of independent brokers and their clients with a comprehensive solution to monitor, mitigate and rectify cybersecurity risks. Servicing hundreds of independent insurance brokers, Renasa will soon be offering access to Digimune’s suite of cybersecurity software tools directly from its own digital platform. This includes the full range of Digimune’s digital risk solutions for individuals and families, along with its professional range of business digital risk solutions for companies small to large. “Cybercrime is one of the biggest threats facing individuals and companies today, so it makes sense that mitigating online risks and preventing, managing and recovering from information theft would be a great fit from an insurance perspective,” says Digimune director, Simon Campbell-Young. “By making our Digimune Identity, Identity Plus and Identity Premium products available directly from Renasa’s comprehensive technology platform, brokers can simply choose the level of cover they want to offer their clients, and package it as part of their policy portfolios.” Digimune’s advanced monitoring and protection solutions work behind the scenes to mitigate all types of personal and sensitive information risk, including identity theft protection, social media monitoring, and unauthorised use of personal identifiable information (PII) on any Internet platform, both mainstream and on the dark web. For companies, Digimune’s Business Digital Risk Protection products offer a similar suite of scalable solutions, focused primarily at protecting business digital assets, company credit cards and accounts, company registration information and staff safety. Both individuals and companies will also have access to takedown services should personal information leak online, and legal and recovery services against more serious forms of digital theft, …
How the brands we love use data now to actually be better
We’re so accustomed to using apps like Waze, Google Maps, and Maps in our everyday lives by now that we barely even notice them anymore. What we may not realise is that they’re also having a profound impact on the way we do business and changing the way we interact with our favourite brands. Health and medical services like ER24 and couriers like DSV are much more connected to us than ever before. They may not touch our lives every single day. But, because they do things better, they have a huge impact on our daily lives. Helping them get it right is what gets me out of bed every day because it has a profound ability to make people’s lives so much better. The past was difficult Before GPS and map apps there was the mark 1 map. The user experience was difficult, you had to cross reference data by running your finger up and down grids, flipping back and forth between pages. It was impossible to do while actually driving. These days, if you need to get somewhere you’ve never been before, in a hurry, it’s no sweat. Drop in the address, which you don’t even need to type out in full, and away you go. You even get route optimisation and ETAs. Prefer highways to byways? No problem. You even have a choice of voice to read directions if that helps. It’s the kind of thing that used to be expensive and technically challenging. Only big companies had it to manage armadas of vehicles, fleets of stores, and networks of ATMs or branches. Smaller companies never stood a chance, let alone ordinary people like me and you. But these days we can even drop a GPX file into an app on our phone and ride a mountain bike trail in the sticks we’ve never seen in our life before. Then still get back for a cappuccino and on-the-go breakfast (596 calories at one of South Africa’s favourite post-ride breakfast haunts). The new challenge Nowadays everyone can access this type of data and a lot of businesses use it to make more money than ever. Not in the dodgy Facebook kind of …
