How CSP Saved KZN Government R800 Million in Fraud Detection

Discover how our advanced fraud detection system protected public funds and set a new standard for government cybersecurity in South Africa.

The Challenge

Provincial financial systems face constant pressure from fraud, misuse of funds, and limited real-time visibility. The KwaZulu-Natal government needed a practical way to detect fraudulent transactions early — before public money was permanently lost.

Our Approach

Cyberspace Protection deployed an advanced fraud detection capability for the KZN government under Project Unembeza, combining cybersecurity expertise with data analytics. The solution identified fraudulent transactions in real time and supported stronger oversight of provincial financial activity.

The Result

The programme ultimately helped save the province over R800 million in public funds. This engagement remains one of our defining government cybersecurity outcomes — proving that local expertise and international best practice can protect critical public sector systems at scale.
