COMRiC’s Telecommunications Sector Report 2026 is now available to download. It brings together four strands of COMRiC’s intelligence work: a sector-wide risk assessment for South African telecommunications, a deep dive into fraud and social engineering, a cyber-threat picture for network operators, and a year-on-year look at infrastructure crime across the country’s network footprint.
Read together, they tell a consistent story. The sector is under real and growing pressure, but it is not powerless. Some risks are easing, some are worsening, and almost all of them are becoming more tangled up with each other than they used to be.
