Resilient
by Design.
How SA SMEs can outsmart AI-powered threats — and recover fast when it matters. A free, practical hour for owners and IT managers.
- 500+ businesses secured
- POPIA-compliant
- 2025 Cybersecurity Awards Winner
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
One hour. Three things you can act on Monday morning.
01Your human risk exposure
How AI is targeting your staff with phishing, deepfakes, social engineering and what a baseline scan reveals.
02A practical recovery framework
The 3-2-1-1-0 rule, immutable storage, automated verification — protection from ransomware and accidents.
03A 30-day starter plan
Concrete next steps you can take immediately, whether you have an IT team or not.
WHY NOW
The threat changed. Your defence should too.
In the last 12 months AI has changed cybercrime. Phishing emails now read like your CEO. Deepfake voice calls authorise wire transfers. Ransomware crews target SA mid-market firms specifically because backups are misconfigured.
SevenC and Veeam are co-hosting this session because the two halves — preventing the breach, and recovering when one happens — only work together. You’ll leave with frameworks, not fear.
We have built this online event for:
-
Business owners and directors of South African SMEs
-
IT managers and operations leads responsible for security and infrastructure
-
Finance and compliance managers at firms subject to POPIA, FICA, or sector-specific regulations
-
Anyone who has ever worried: “What would happen to our business if we got hit by ransomware?”

about the event
Why Join the Event
South African SMEs are facing a new kind of cyber risk. AI is making phishing, impersonation, and social engineering faster, more convincing, and harder for busy teams to spot. At the same time, ransomware, accidental deletion, downtime, and compliance pressure are putting business continuity under more strain. This webinar is designed to help you connect the dots between your people, your data, and your ability to keep operating when something goes wrong.
Join SevenC and Veeam for a practical, business-focused session on building resilience without unnecessary complexity. You will learn how to reduce human risk through staff training, phishing simulation, and breach scanning. You will also see how verified backups, recovery planning, and the 3-2-1-1-0 rule help protect your business from disruption. You will leave with clear next steps and a simple 30-day starter plan built for South African SMEs. Reserve your free spot today.

Who should attend this webinar?
This session is ideal for SME owners, MDs, CFOs, COOs, compliance managers, and IT managers who want to protect their business from cyber risk, data loss, downtime, and compliance gaps. It is especially relevant for businesses that rely on outsourced, in-house, or co-managed IT support.

No. The webinar is designed for business leaders and managers, not only technical teams. We will explain the key risks, tools, and next steps in clear, practical language.
What will I learn during the session?
You will learn how AI is changing cyber threats, why staff mistakes and data vulnerability are connected, and how to build a simple resilience plan. The session will cover human risk management, phishing simulation, breach scanning, backup verification, recovery planning, and business continuity.
Will the webinar cover POPIA and compliance requirements?
Yes. The session will touch on why documented staff training, backup processes, and recovery readiness matter for POPIA, FSCA, cyber insurance, and general business risk management.
Let’s help your business protect its people, secure its data, and recover faster when it matters. Join us on 25 May to learn practical resilience steps that help South African SMEs reduce human risk, strengthen backup readiness, and build a clear continuity plan.
