Take Note IT

A look back at one of Take Note Group’s infrastructure resilience projects within South Africa’s energy sector.

Last year, our team deployed a fibre optic cable-based Pipeline Condition Monitoring pilot designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology for proactive infrastructure monitoring across a major metropolitan gas pipeline network.

The project focused on strengthening long-term pipeline safety and operational continuity through real-time monitoring and intelligent threat detection.

Using fibre optic sensing technology integrated with AI-driven pattern analysis, the system enabled monitoring for:

• Leak detection associated with typical or***ce noise patterns
• Third-party intrusion, including manual and mechanical digging activity
• Operational anomalies outside normal pipeline behaviour

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology allows infrastructure operators to monitor the structural integrity of critical assets in real time through the analysis of acoustic frequency patterns across fibre optic networks.

For Take Note Group, projects like this represent the future of cyber-physical infrastructure protection across the continent.

As operational technology, energy infrastructure and intelligent monitoring systems continue to converge, proactive resilience becomes increasingly critical to maintaining commercial continuity and safeguarding essential services.

Our work continues to focus on securing the systems society cannot afford to lose.

A ‘blind spot’ in your security is an invitation for an outage. Our Security Operations Centre
(SOC) operates 24/7/365, providing the proactive mitigation needed to stop threats before they
hit your bottom line. Is your security reactive or resilient?

Our CEO, , believes that ‘Security is a Human Right.’ From the village of
Ga-Mampane to the global stage of Africa’s Business Heroes, her mission remains the same:
Protecting people by protecting the systems that serve them.

In a world where digital and physical lines are blurring, cybersecurity isn’t just about data - it’s about national resilience. At Take Note Group, we don’t just secure servers; we secure the pulse of a nation. 🇿🇦From our 24/7 SOC to the furthest IoT sensor, we are the guardians of the infrastructure society relies on.

We’re growing at Take Note IoT, and our company is looking for new talent.

If you’re ready to work on smart, connected solutions that make a real impact, this could be your next move.

This role is based in Johannesburg.
