  • HP’s AI future - how on-device intelligence is redefining work in Africa

    HP’s AI future - how on-device intelligence is redefining work in Africa
    Sep 4 2025
    AI has advanced at breakneck speed in the last few years, with most knowledge workers using the technology to enhance their work in some shape or form.
    Most of this computing has been happening in the cloud. However, the advent of the neural processing unit, or NPU, has made it possible to move AI computation to the edge, which not only improves speeds but also protects personal and company data.
    In this episode of TechCentral’s TCS+, we were on location at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton where HP recently hosted its 2025 Future of Work event. The event brings together industry leaders, decision-makers and innovators and explores the evolving landscape of work in the age of artificial intelligence.
    Ertug Ayik, vice president and MD for Middle East and Africa at HP, connects the dots between the company’s new AI-infused product line and broader concepts shaping the way in which work is being done.
    Ayik delves into:
    • HP’s shift from a product focused company to a solutions and services outfit;
    • Why on-device AI processing capability has become a priority for HP;
    • The advantages on-device AI have for performance, security and power efficiency;
    • HP’s strategy for South Africa and the African continent;
    • Key initiatives HP is driving across Africa; and
    • What to expect from HP in the coming years.

  • Arctic Wolf on cybersecurity in the age of AI

    Arctic Wolf on cybersecurity in the age of AI
    Aug 25 2025
    What does it really take to defend a business in an era of AI-driven attacks?
    In this episode of TechCentral’s TCS+ ,Clare Loveridge, vice president and GM for Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea), and Johnny Ellis, senior director of Emea channel sales, both at Arctic Wolf, go beyond the buzzwords to confront the uncomfortable truth: despite billions spent on security tools, cyber losses are still mounting.
    Arctic Wolf’s answer is a different model, one that combines its artificial intelligence-powered Aurora Platform with human expertise in a concierge delivery approach. It’s a strategy that tackles the industry’s “effectiveness gap” head-on by integrating people, processes and platforms to deliver outcomes, not just alerts.
    The conversation is blunt about the shifting threat landscape: AI has overtaken ransomware as the top emerging risk, and no single tool can fix it. What organisations need is visibility at every layer – from endpoints and cloud to people.
    Equally compelling is Arctic Wolf’s commitment to channel-first partnerships in South Africa, ensuring trusted local expertise underpins global innovation.
    From the acquisition of Cylance Endpoint to the launch of Incident Response 360, the company is pushing to redefine what operationalised security means. But the biggest takeaway is simple: cyberattacks are no longer an “if” but a “when” – and every organisation needs a plan.
    Watch or listen to the full discussion to explore why Arctic Wolf believes security must move beyond tools to become a living, breathing business function – and how leaders can finally start sleeping better at night.

  • TCS+ | Kinetic Skunk: fintechs risk cloud bill shock without proper planning

    TCS+ | Kinetic Skunk: fintechs risk cloud bill shock without proper planning
    Aug 21 2025
    Fintechs choose cloud technologies in the hopes that the efficiency and scalability of cloud computing will give them a competitive advantage. But cloud adoption is no silver bullet. If done incorrectly, a migration to the cloud can cause costs to balloon instead of decreasing them, leading to frustration and even lost revenue.
    Kinetic Skunk is an Amazon Web Services-certified partner offering cloud solutions with a specialisation in fintech start-ups. In this episode of TechCentral’s TCS+, Donovan Mulder, CEO at Kinetic Skunk, explains the ins and outs of cloud adoption for fintech companies.
    Mulder delves into:
    • The importance of timing when it comes to cloud adoption and when the best time is to plan for a migration into the cloud.
    • Common errors fintechs that have already migrated to the cloud make that can cause costs to balloon out of control.
    • Why developers are often not the right people to handle cloud infrastructure architecting and provisioning (hint: it’s a completely different skill set).
    • How gaps in cloud infrastructure architecture can lead to security holes.
    • The cost optimisation tools available in the AWS cloud environment.
    • How tools such as the AWS well-architected framework help fintech’s comply with regulations such as Popia and Fica.
    • Advice for South African fintechs before their next cloud bill arrives.
