Speaker Bio
Lucille Britz, Security Head for SEA Markets and Group CTIO Business Manager (Act) at MTN Group. She believes cybersecurity is not treated as a checklist or a siloed function, but rather as a diligent
discipline ingrained into the organization's operating code. Under her leadership, MTN employs Layers of Protection with Defense in- Depth, where each mechanism contributes to a broader safety net.
If one layer is compromised, others remain active to contain and deflect threats. A strict trust protocol reinforces this, requiring that every access request be verified, regardless of its source, an approach grounded in
Trustlessness, also known as Zero Trust Security. Access rights are limited by design, minimizing exposure and the risk of internal misuse, in alignment with the Principle of Least Privilege.
25 years in her field of expertise - Lucille has a proven track record of successfully navigating the dynamic landscape of the tech industry, steering organizations toward digital excellence, and ensuring seamless integration
of IT strategies with overall business objectives. 15 years in the Financial Sector, 10 years in Telecommunications.
Global experience working across 30 countries - Lucille brings a wealth of global experience and expertise in the field of Digital transformation, IT Strategy, Cybersecurity, M&A integration, and IT operations.
