Connecting with the HEITSA Community: KHIPU is a Gold Sponsor at NATE 2026

In just a few weeks, South Africa’s higher education ICT community will gather for the highly anticipated National Annual Technology Event (NATE 2026).

At KHIPU Networks, our journey with the HEITSA community has been built over years of deep, meaningful collaboration. We have worked alongside universities and TVET colleges across South Africa to strengthen their cybersecurity posture while simplifying access to the right technology solutions.

That is why we are incredibly proud to announce that KHIPU is attending NATE 2026 as a Gold Sponsor.

Why Visit KHIPU at NATE 2026?

The future of higher education technology starts with the conversations we have today. As a long-standing partner to the sector, our focus has always been to support institutions with practical, relevant, and collaborative security outcomes.

Stop by the KHIPU area to catch up with our team of specialists and explore how we can help your institution protect what matters most while continuing to innovate and grow. Let’s discuss:

  • Tailored Cyber Security Outcomes: How to defend your institution against emerging threats without adding complexity for your IT team.
  • Simplified Access Control: Ensuring safe, seamless, and secure digital access for students, researchers, and staff.
  • Shared Insights: Learning from practical, real-world deployments across other South African institutions facing similar institutional challenges.

NATE 2026 is a vital space to exchange ideas, tackle regional ICT challenges, and shape the future of technology in education. We are excited to be at the heart of those conversations once again.

Let’s Catch Up in Person!

Whether you want to review your current infrastructure, discuss an upcoming project, or just catch up with old friends over a coffee, we’d love to secure some time with you.
