Liquid Intelligent’s new Cyber Security Fusion Center strengthens its growing presence
Liquid Intelligent Technologies has continued to expand its footprint across Africa and the Middle East with the launch of its Cyber Security Fusion Center in Lusaka, Zambia, following the launch of its second center in Nairobi, Kenya, four months prior.
Last week, Liquid Intelligent made an acquisition in the Middle East and North Africa region, acquiring the Cairo-based cloud and cybersecurity provider, Cysiv MEA.
The Masiyiwa-owned technology firm sees this acquisition as a significant asset to its portfolio in Africa, as it plans to integrate Cysiv MEA into Liquid C2 and align it with its global cloud and cybersecurity identity.
