Cybersecurity distributor CyberKnight has entered a strategic partnership with Nozomi Networks to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions across Africa—excluding South Africa.
The agreement focuses on serving Central, East, and West Africa, with the goal of helping large enterprises and critical infrastructure defend against growing cyber threats.
Nozomi Networks, a global leader in operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, is known for its strong technical capabilities. The company was named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms and holds a 4.9 out of 5-star rating on Gartner Peer Insights based on over 120 customer reviews.
Under this partnership, African organizations will gain access to Nozomi’s real-time monitoring, AI-powered threat detection, and predictive analytics to enhance security and operational efficiency. Key sectors expected to benefit include energy, transportation, and manufacturing.
“Industrial and critical infrastructure organizations across Central and West Africa are rapidly adopting IoT technologies, expanding their digital footprint and, consequently, their attack surface,” said Alexander Foroozandé, Head of Channels, Middle East, Africa & CIS at Nozomi Networks.
“We are dedicated to helping these organizations stay ahead of sophisticated threats with our AI-powered security solutions and strategic regional investments.”
CyberKnight sees the collaboration as a step forward in equipping African enterprises with tools to stay resilient.
“Our collaboration with Nozomi Networks opens new possibilities for African enterprises to protect what matters most,” said Avinash Advani, CEO of CyberKnight.
“Together, we’re equipping organizations with the tools and intelligence they need to outpace cyber threats and drive secure, sustainable growth in an increasingly connected world.”
Both companies say the partnership merges world-class security technology with local expertise, supporting Africa’s ongoing digital transformation with a modern, proactive approach to cybersecurity.
