Safety Detectives interviews Livex CEO

We initially started as a software company, and at a certain stage, we started seeing and reading about more and more software systems getting hacked because of small mistakes done by developers or the guys that set up a network or the servers. So, from a company’s perspective to give assurance to our client, we decided that we need to add a security element to our offering.

In South Africa, there is a massive need for managed services. We started offering cybersecurity services either as a standalone or as a complementary service.

Our core service is software development. We build solutions for businesses, either startups or corporates, and we know there’s a need for either an internal system or a software product that they would like to develop like mobile applications or web applications.

We’ve launched a complete security-focused managed services division where we run the entire network for a company in terms of the hardware, the software systems on the endpoints, and the firewall management. We’ve changed it to be more security-focused. Instead of just adding the standard network infrastructure, we do a complete network audit and implement solutions first.

The companies that use our services range from startups that haven’t launched yet to companies that have been running for 20 years.
