Cenzic, in collaboration with its South African partner, CentricEdge, was a sponsor at this year’s ITWeb Annual Security Summit to educate audience members on Web application security. 

The South African event highlighted tools, techniques, and strategies for organizations to adopt in order to better safeguard their information.  Key themes at this year’s event included cybercrime, mobile security, security in the cloud, AV malware, threat modelling, the security development lifecycle, PCI compliance, Web security, virtualization and security, and vulnerability management. 

We’d like to thank CenzicEdge for creating the tradeshow display containing Cenzic branding along with pitching our technology to a new audience.  Their Website is under maintenance at the moment, but check back soon to learn more about this company: www.centricedge.co.za
