Community Builders


We pride ourselves on being community builders that foster an environment of networking and knowledge sharing amongst executive professionals in every event we host, and we are known for delivering events that appeal to senior audiences.

Our experienced team members have been active in the cyber and information security disciplines in MEA for many years, and have gained the trust of the community through our consistent drive to provide quality, value-adding services.

Kanecta prioritises going back to basics to focus on quality content, small audiences, impactful networking, and engaging knowledge sharing; primarily because the potential for lead generation for our clients is higher when our audiences and content are more targeted, allowing for a stronger potential for ROI.

FEEDBACK ON OUR CISO RETREAT ™


What I really enjoy about these events is that there is time for facilitated conversation with peers on relevant industry topics, and then lots of informal time to connect at a human level and share our challenges and experiences.
— Justin Williams Executive: Group Information Security at MTN (Group CISO)
Thank you Kanecta Events team for the amazing work and contributions in making another CISO Retreat™ a huge success. We had fruitful sessions and a wonderful time to network. It’s always worth the time and effort to be part of the CISO Retreat.
— Sithembile Songo Group Head: Information Security at Eskom
This was an outstanding event to meet key people and to share knowledge, experience and useful information! The event was intimate and gave us a chance to easily connect on a one-to-one basis with leaders in this field.
— Johan Laas, Chief Information Security and Technology Officer at Rand Refinery
Thank you again for a very well organised and brilliant event.

I am very selective on the events I attend but must say, this was well worth it
— Zaid Parak, Group Chief Information Security Officer at Discovery Limited
What an amazing event put on by the team! It definitely shows from the video. Collaboration is key in any industry and so glad to have peers share experiences and lessons learned.
One of my favourite events to attend.
— Nadia Veeran-Patel, Information Security Officer (CISO) at LRMG
It was a relaxed setting for rewarding conversation with peers from other industries. It was comforting to know we all had very similar issues we were trying to solve. Thank you for giving me opportunity to be part of such an event.
— Del van Rooyen, CISO at Sasfin
The CISO Retreat™ was exceptional: insightful discussions, networking, and thought-provoking sessions.
It provided a deep dive into the current challenges and innovations in cybersecurity but also fostered a strong sense of community.
— Galeboe Mogotsi, Chief Information Security Officer at Wits University
The event was very good and with interesting conversations. It was a pleasure sharing our experiences and lessons across our CISO roles. The quality of participants and content – all spot on.
