Business Connexion, an Information Technology (IT) Systems Integrator Company, with operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), has stressed the need for small and big enterprises in Nigeria to drive their businesses with technology solutions, if they must remain relevant in business during this period of economic recession.

Mr. Ayo Adegboye, the newly appointed managing director of Business Connexion Nigeria, who became the first Nigerian to assume the position of managing director of the multinational company, made the disclosure in Lagos recently, during his first media briefing on the activities of Business Connexion (BCX) in Nigeria as a technology solution provider.

Adegboye who is passionate about positioning the company as the foremost technology solution provider and business advisor, promised to boost customer confidence and satisfaction, using Internet of Things (IoT) and the cloud technologies.

Speaking about the economic recession the country is currently passing through, Adegboye said business owners need not panic, provided they allow technology solutions to drive their businesses, which he said are capable of reducing total cost of managing businesses and at the same time helping business owners enjoy economics of scale and business sustainability.

Adegboye however called on government to diversify the economy by channelling its policies to enhance technology development in the country.

“Government needs to come up with strong policies that will turn around the economy, and it must ensure diversification of the Nigerian economy from monolithic economy to diversified and knowledge-based economy. India for instance has been able to catchup with technology by developing software solutions that are used in other parts of the world, and this is a typical example of knowledge-based economy,” Adegboye said.

He however said for government to achieve knowledge-based economy, it needs to channel its policies to encourage IT development in the country, as well as local content development.

He said government also needs to encourage public/private partnership to drive economic growth in the country. Technocrats from the private sector should be engaged in policy formulation that will drive technology development in the country.

BCX, he said has taken an initiative to support businesses in the country with technology solutions that will make businesses enjoy economics of scale and stay alive always.

“We have developed technology solutions that will help customer save on their CAPEX, he said.

“Today technology is evolving and BCX is at the forefront of business, making sure clients enjoy economics of scale in their business, and we are doing this by taking businesses to the cloud. We are making huge investment in the cloud, and what that translates into is that the SMEs and the big enterprise do not need to invest so much in infrastructure, because we built infrastructure in the cloud for them, and that is the direction of businesses globally,” Adegboye said.

Mr. Jakes Mogale, managing executive, Business Connexion Nigeria, said business in Nigeria today is about total cost of ownership, which is a concept that will continue to be on the minds of business owners.

“Our concern is to ensure that businesses have the right solution that will enable them do successful business such that their income is far more than their expenditure and BCX has solutions that will address all of that for business owners,” Mogale said.

“When we get into a banking environment for instance, we do not only look at what the bank is using for their network infrastructure, but we look at customer interaction and device solution on how the banks can interact more with customers, without the customers crowding banking halls on a daily basis,” he added.

Mr. Emmanuel Akhidenor, general manager, Services at Business Connexion Nigeria, said BCX technology solutions were designed to address those challenges that could lead to economic recession. Our belief is that when companies are doing well in business, it will bring in more money to the economy and the issue of recession will be far of from the Nigerian environment and our solutions are geared towards business sustainability for small and large enterprise, Akhidenor said.

“Inadequate power supply for instance is a major draw back to businesses and we have to design our solution to fit into the cloud, where power is not an issue,” he added.

Cybervergent’s Q1 2024 Report Reveals Rising Threat of Remcos RAT Malware in Financial Sector

Published

Kindly share this post

Cybervergent, a foremost technology company providing automated cybersecurity solutions, in its Quarterly Brief has revealed a troubling trend in the financial sector that shows a spike in attacks utilising the deceptive Remote Control and Surveillance Access Trojan (Remcos RAT) in Q1, 2024.

The findings affirm a stark forewarning to the financial institutions and organisations in the African continent, urging heightened vigilance and proactive measures to mitigate potential escalating risks.

Previously marketed as a legitimate software, Remcos got co-opted by malicious actors and is now a prevalent tool in cybercrime campaigns. This remote access tool grants attackers hidden entry into victims’ devices, allowing them to seize control, pilfer sensitive data, and even introduce stealth backdoors to compromise entire systems. The capabilities of Remcos are diverse and frightening, ranging from disabling vital security features like User Account Control (UAC) to covertly recording user activities.

“As vigilant cybersecurity gatekeepers, we have observed a significant surge in attacks leveraging the Remcos RAT malware,” said Gbolabo Awelewa, the Chief Solutions Officer, Cybervergent. “Financial institutions are particularly targeted due to the sensitive nature of their data and assets. Organisations must remain diligent and adopt proactive monitoring measures to safeguard against such threats.”

The proactive approach adopted by Cybervergent’s Cyber Operations Centre involves meticulous analysis of attacker tactics, constant updating of threat intelligence, and implementing robust endpoint security solutions. These measures are designed to detect, prevent, and neutralise Remote Access Trojans like Remcos, ensuring the continued security and compliance of organisations in the face of evolving cyber threats.

“Our mission is to fortify our clients’ defenses and ensure the seamless operation of their organisations,” added Gbolabo. “By staying ahead of emerging attack vectors and vulnerabilities, we empower businesses to take proactive measures and protect their valuable assets.”

Looking ahead, Adetokunbo Omotosho, Chief Executive Officer of Cybervergent emphasised the firm’s focus on empowering organisations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and compliance with dexterity and confidence.

“Cybervergent’s Assurance and Compliance Team has demonstrated unparalleled leadership in the cybersecurity domain, achieving significant milestones and delivering transformative solutions. Our journey through Q1 reflects a deep commitment to advancing the state of cybersecurity compliance, paving the way for a secure and resilient digital future for organisations in Africa and across the world”, he added.
