The Latest in IT Security

By Wendell Roelf CAPE TOWN (Reuters) – South Africa’s Naspers aims to transform itself into a “predominantly mobile” company, its new chief executive said on Wednesday, as it looks to bring its stable of e-commerce and auction sites to tablets and smartphones. Naspers, one of the world’s largest internet companies by market value, will continue to target e-commerce firms for acquisitions, Bob van Dijk told Reuters in an interview, seeking to add to operations that reach 120 countries. Naspers has already reinvented itself at least once, going from an apartheid-era newspaper publisher to a media and online giant focused on technology and emerging markets. “We will be more of an operator in the Internet than we have been … the most exciting part is adjusting ourselves to be predominantly a mobile company,” van Dijk said at Naspers’ Cape Town headquarters.
