LOS ANGELES & ACCRA, Ghana, August 11, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Resecurity, Inc., a U.S.-based cybersecurity and threat intelligence company, has entered into a formal Joint Cooperation Agreement with AfricaCERT, the premier pan-African organization coordinating computer emergency response teams (CERTs) and national cybersecurity centers. This partnership lays the groundwork for long-term cooperation in sharing cyber threat intelligence, capacity building, and strategic incident response across Africa.
Enhancing Regional Cyber Defense
As part of the agreement, Resecurity will provide AfricaCERT with direct access to its Context™ and Risk™ advanced CTI platforms. The platforms are designed to support national-level threat monitoring, cyber risk intelligence, and digital investigations. This capability will enable AfricaCERT to detect real-time information leaks, identify malicious activity targeting African digital assets, and analyze emerging cyber threats impacting public and private sector entities across the continent. These are the same CTI Resecurity services used by NGOs both inside and outside Africa to fight human trafficking, fraud, and other illegal activities.
AfricaCERT’s leadership emphasized that real-time access to threat intelligence is crucial for preventing and responding to cyberattacks targeting national infrastructure, financial systems, and citizen data across Africa.
“Our main objective is to monitor, in real time, data related to information leaks and threats specifically targeting African countries,” said Mr. Kodzo Gadzekpo Adomey, Operations Manager at AfricaCERT. “Through this collaboration, we gain visibility into global threat actors and campaigns that are impacting our region, and we strengthen our ability to coordinate international responses in a timely and effective manner.”
A Shared Commitment to Intelligence-Led Security
Resecurity’s threat intelligence aggregates data from multiple sources, including the deep and dark web, closed forums, malware telemetry, and exposed data repositories. By leveraging this platform, AfricaCERT will be able to detect early warning signs of cyberattacks and act on verified intelligence to reduce risk across national and regional networks.
“We are honored to work alongside AfricaCERT in building stronger cyber defense capabilities throughout the continent,” said Shawn Loveland, Chief Operating Officer of Resecurity. “This partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to promoting proactive, intelligence-led cybersecurity and advancing digital trust in the African region to support the continent’s digitization.”
Supporting Capacity Building and Incident Response
Beyond technology enablement, the agreement supports broader strategic objectives, including:
-
Capacity building through training, workshops, and joint exercises.
-
Information sharing related to cybercrime trends, APTs, and digital fraud targeting African countries.
-
Participation in international cybersecurity events and panels.
-
Collaborative response to major incidents and transnational threats.
AfricaCERT will support Resecurity’s regional outreach through communications, references, and joint participation in cybersecurity development programs. The two organizations will also hold regular strategy meetings to review progress, share insights, and adapt to the evolving threat landscape.
Governance, Confidentiality, and Long-Term Vision
The agreement clearly defines terms related to confidentiality, usage restrictions, and intellectual property protections. It also outlines mutual responsibilities and future cooperation plans that both parties must adhere to. Both parties have agreed to respect sensitive data policies and uphold the trust of partners and stakeholders across the region.
The signing of the agreement marks a significant milestone in Resecurity’s global engagement strategy and reflects AfricaCERT’s leadership in uniting security and incident response teams to build a resilient cyber ecosystem.
