As cyber crime continues to thrive in Africa, SEACOM has taken a significant step to bolster its clients’ security with a new partnership with US-based cybersecurity firm Arctic Wolf. This collaboration aims to equip businesses across the continent with advanced security operations solutions to combat the escalating threats posed by cyber criminals. The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks highlight the urgent need for robust security measures in organizations of all sizes.
SEACOM acknowledges that businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the necessity for external security operations expertise. Through this partnership, clients will gain access to Arctic Wolf’s cloud-native platform, combined with a skilled security operations team that will provide personalized and proactive protection against both current and future threats. This proactive approach is essential in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
This collaboration enhances SEACOM’s product portfolio, addressing specific security needs that many customers seek to safeguard their operations effectively. By leveraging the Arctic Wolf platform, SEACOM can offer clients expanded visibility into their attack surface, allowing them to monitor their entire security landscape through a single pane of glass. This capability enables organizations to proactively identify any malicious behavior or vulnerabilities, ultimately strengthening their defense mechanisms.
The integration of Arctic Wolf’s offerings into SEACOM’s existing portfolio will include key services such as Managed Detection and Response, Managed Risk, Managed Security Awareness, Incident Response, Cloud Detection and Response, and Cloud Security Posture Management. These services will provide clients with comprehensive security coverage tailored to their unique needs.
Gert Janzen, Product Manager at SEACOM, emphasized the importance of a holistic approach to security. He stated that effective cybersecurity cannot be achieved through a single technology or product. Organizations must implement a comprehensive strategy that incorporates various layers of security, from perimeter and email security to endpoint protection and distributed denial-of-service defenses. This is crucial for every company, regardless of its sector or industry.
As SEACOM partners with Arctic Wolf, businesses across Africa can now leverage cutting-edge security solutions to empower their organizations in the fight against evolving cyber threats. This partnership represents a crucial step toward enhancing the overall cybersecurity posture of businesses on the continent, enabling them to operate with confidence in an increasingly digital world.
