Zimbabwean billionaire Strive Masiyiwa’s Liquid opens cybersecurity center in Nairobi

Mfonobong Nsehe -

Liquid C2, a subsidiary of Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a technology firm owned by Zimbabwean billionaire Strive Masiyiwa, has opened its Cybersecurity Fusion Center (CSFC) in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city.

The new facility, established by liquid C2 to ensure Kenyan customers have timely access to real-time intelligence-driven alerts and advisory services to mitigate potential security threats, is the first of its kind in Kenya and the second in Africa.

The cybersecurity center will be invaluable in Liquid’s efforts to provide Kenyan customers with real-time intelligence-driven alerts and advisory services, allowing them to mitigate potential threats as soon as possible.

Customers will now be able to focus on their critical business needs while managing their cybersecurity requirements in the most cost-efficient and effective way possible, according to Liquid, thanks to a slew of new cybersecurity services that will be deployed in the new center.

“Through our matrix of Fusion Centers, Liquid C2 will predict, prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks that target our customers,” David Behr, CEO of Liquid C2, said.

Behr went on to state that raising awareness about the critical importance of cybersecurity is not only beneficial to clients, but also a critical pillar in Kenya’s economic growth as the country continues to undergo digital transformation.

He added that Liquid C2 will continue to play a role in Kenya’s digital transformation and that with the opening of the center in Nairobi, the company will be better positioned to help customers in real-time and enable them to be proactive rather than reactive in today’s complex cybersecurity landscape.

The cybersecurity center’s opening comes nearly two weeks after Liquid, Liquid C2’s parent company, announced plans to spend more than R350 million ($19.7 million) to deliver a Software Defined Network (SDN) offering known as Dataport Across Africa, making it the first African company to do so.
