ITWeb is a South African business technology media group serving corporate and public‑sector decision‑makers since 1996. Headquartered in Rivonia, Johannesburg, it reports daily on the country’s IT and telecoms markets and the wider African industry through ITWeb and sister title ITWeb Africa. The group publishes Brainstorm, a monthly magazine for CIOs and executives that carries in‑depth reporting, case studies and C‑suite perspectives. Beyond journalism, ITWeb convenes the sector through conferences and executive forums. Flagship events include the long‑running ITWeb Security Summit and the Business Intelligence Summit focused on data, analytics and AI. These platforms bring together local and international speakers, solution providers and hundreds of delegates each year. ITWeb also operates CareerWeb, a specialist ICT recruitment service that connects employers with skilled professionals. The organisation reaches more than 200,000 online readers each month, and Brainstorm is distributed to about 12,000 decision‑makers. ITWeb was founded by publisher Jovan Regasek; since 2018 the company has been led by CEO Ivan Regasek. The group is 51% black‑owned and a Level 4 B‑BBEE contributor. Across its newsrooms, magazine and events, ITWeb focuses on practical intelligence for leaders navigating digital transformation, cyber risk, cloud, data governance and the economics of enterprise IT in South Africa and across the continent.
