Denel Sovereign Security Solutions (Denel S3) was established to provide focus to Denel’s strategy to diversify into the non-defence civil security markets in support of the Group’s efforts for growth and sustainable markets.

Cyber Security
Based at the Denel Irene campus, Denel S3 has established the Denel Tactical Cyber Command Centre (DTC³), starting with a basic cyber security operations centre to provide Denel with added protection against cyber threats.

DTC³ will ensure Denel’s leadership, staff, policies, processes, practices and technologies provide ongoing oversight, management, performance measurement and course correction of all cyber-security activities.

Ultimately, DTC³ will protect defence and security interests through accredited cyber security services aligned to the National Cybersecurity Policy Framework (NCPF) and the Defence Review 2015.

C4ISR
Denel S3 will also intensify efforts to secure projects in command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) solutions in national, provincial and international security institutions and/or government departments. In doing so, Denel will apply defence-bred programme management and systems engineering capability in providing integrated solutions.

Denel S3 Mission

Recruitment
Translating opportunities into profitable projects will require significant capacity building. Recruitment, training and skills development programmes are envisaged providing the opportunity to strengthen the Denel Group's transformation agenda. Black women and youth, in particular, will be targeted with preferential procurement and focussed enterprise supplier development ensuring previously marginalised groups become "enduring suppliers".
