Resecurity, Inc., a U.S.-based firm specializing in cybersecurity and threat intelligence, has officially entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with AfricaCERT, the leading pan-African entity that coordinates computer emergency response teams (CERTs) and national cybersecurity agencies. This partnership aims to foster ongoing collaboration focused on cyber threat intelligence sharing, capacity building, and coordinated incident response throughout the African continent.

Boosting Cyber Defense Capabilities Across the Region

Under the terms of the agreement, Resecurity will grant AfricaCERT direct access to its advanced Context™ and Risk™ cyber threat intelligence platforms. These tools are designed to assist at the national level with threat detection, cyber risk assessment, and digital forensic investigations. By leveraging these platforms, AfricaCERT will be better equipped to monitor information leaks in real-time, identify malicious activities aimed at African digital infrastructures, and analyze new cyber threats impacting both public institutions and private enterprises across Africa. Resecurity’s threat intelligence services are also trusted by various NGOs combating issues such as human trafficking and fraud, both within and beyond the continent.

AfricaCERT’s leadership stressed the importance of real-time threat intelligence access for safeguarding critical infrastructure, financial networks, and citizen data against cyberattacks targeting Africa.

“Our priority is to continuously monitor data relevant to leaks and cyber threats specifically targeting African nations,” said Kodzo Gadzekpo Adomey, Operations Manager at AfricaCERT. “This partnership enhances our insight into global cyber threat actors and campaigns that affect our region, strengthening our capability to coordinate swift and effective international responses.”

Unified Efforts Toward Intelligence-Driven Cybersecurity

Resecurity’s intelligence platform collects and analyzes data from diverse sources, including the dark web, private forums, malware telemetry, and exposed data caches. With this intelligence, AfricaCERT can identify early indicators of cyber threats and take informed actions to mitigate risks affecting regional and national networks.

Shawn Loveland, Chief Operating Officer of Resecurity, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are proud to collaborate with AfricaCERT to enhance Africa’s cyber defense readiness. This alliance embodies our mutual commitment to proactive, intelligence-led cybersecurity strategies that build digital trust and support Africa’s ongoing digital transformation.”

Focus on Capacity Development and Incident Management

  • Beyond providing technology, the collaboration also includes broader goals such as:
  • Delivering capacity-building programs through workshops, training sessions, and joint simulations.
  • Sharing intelligence on cybercrime trends, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and digital fraud impacting African countries.
  • Joint participation in global cybersecurity forums and panels.
  • Coordinated responses to major cybersecurity incidents and cross-border threats.

AfricaCERT will also assist Resecurity in regional engagement efforts through communication initiatives and collaborative cybersecurity development activities. Both organizations plan to hold regular strategic meetings to review progress, exchange insights, and respond adaptively to evolving cyber threats.

Commitment to Governance and Long-Term Collaboration

The partnership agreement outlines clear guidelines regarding data confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and responsible use of shared information. Both parties have committed to maintaining strict data privacy standards and upholding trust with their stakeholders across the region.

This collaboration marks a pivotal step in Resecurity’s global partnership strategy and highlights AfricaCERT’s leadership role in unifying Africa’s cybersecurity efforts to establish a resilient digital ecosystem.
