Threat Landscape in Southern Africa from a Shadowserver#

Andy Chadwick - Shadowserver Foundation | Director for Africa

• Why: Free, immediately adoptable threat intelligence — the highest "tooling others can adopt" value in the security track, with a regional Southern Africa lens the PM won't get from global feeds.
• What: An introduction to what the Shadowserver Foundation does and why its cyber threat intelligence benefits network operators and all network owners, at no cost (from abstract only). Expect an overview session rather than deep technique — the digest value is knowing the resource and the regional picture, not new methods.
• How: (Mechanism background.) Shadowserver aggregates internet-wide scanning and sinkhole/honeypot telemetry into free per-network reports — exposed vulnerable services, malware callbacks, etc. — that any network owner can request and act on.
• Where applicable: Any network, any size, no product purchase (non-profit). The service is global even though this talk's framing is Southern Africa.
