About Cybervergent
Cybervergent’s platform allows businesses to track their security posture in real time by combining compliance, risk, audit, and data security into a single, continuously updated system. The platform helps organisations build operational resilience and stay compliant by combining risk management, policy monitoring, and security oversight.
This reduces vulnerabilities and simplifies governance in complex regulatory environments, ultimately strengthening your security and ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
The seed money will help Cybervergent’s platform grow and develop in African markets. By helping organisations better manage regulatory compliance, protect sensitive data, and strengthen their cybersecurity, the company aims to enhance digital security for businesses across West, East, and Southern Africa.
Investment addresses Africa’s cybersecurity crisis amid regulatory challenges
This investment coincides with heightened regulatory scrutiny and a widening cybersecurity divide throughout the continent. Nearly 90% of businesses in Africa lack sufficient cybersecurity safeguards, and the continent loses more than $3 billion to cybercrime each year, according to INTERPOL. By helping businesses implement security measures and remain compliant with evolving regulations, Cybervergent’s solutions address this key challenge.
Cybervergent, founded in Nigeria by Adetokunbo Omotosho and Ayomide I. Daniels, is already trusted by hundreds of organisations across Africa. With this additional funding, the startup is well-positioned to move faster toward its goals of improving digital security, strengthening operations, and supporting safer digital growth for businesses across the continent.
