Seclore, a data-centric security platform, has reached a strategic partnership with Tech First Gulf (TFG), an IT infrastructure and Cybersecurity Value Add Distributor, to deliver protection over the digital asset for Africa’s most prominent businesses.

This development is geared against continuously escalating incidences of cyber threats and assaults, which have ravaged over 40% of African organisations, hindering the market’s development potential and costing it an estimated US$4 billion each year, as shown in a report.

“Africa has recently been a keen adopter of all things digital. With these developments, the need for cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions won’t take long to materialize. According to Jimmi James, president of Asia and the Middle East at Seclore, “Our data-centric security solution satisfies this demand and is a long-awaited milestone for us to develop a local presence in Africa, the world’s next significant growth market.”
