Seacom and Forefront have announced a partnership with Cloudflare that aims to enhance cybersecurity resilience across Africa by providing Cloudflare’s security services to businesses looking to modernise their infrastructure.
Sajid Khan, Seacom’s group MD for digital services, says: “This partnership marks an exciting new addition to our product portfolio by providing cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions to our clients.”
Graham Turnbull, account executive at Cloudflare, says: “Cloudflare is proud to partner with SEACOM to enhance connectivity, performance, and cybersecurity across Africa. Seacom’s extensive network infrastructure provides a strong foundation for delivering Cloudflare’s solutions, including advanced security and zero-trust services, through the Managed Services Programme. Together, we’re empowering African businesses with world-class internet and security services.”
Cloudflare’s connectivity cloud delivers a full-featured, unified platform of cloud-native products and developer tools, so organisations can gain the control they need to work, develop, and accelerate their business.
Every Cloudflare product runs in each of their 330+ points of presence (PoPs) globally. With over 40 PoPs across Africa and three in South Africa (CPT, DUR, JNB), the Cloudflare network allows businesses to achieve zero trade-off between security and performance.
Seacom clients will have access to a range of Cloudflare tools, all as managed services. These include optimisations, integrations, health checks, as well as local support provided by teams certified on the Cloudflare portfolio.
“We are committed to providing best-in-class Cloudflare services and local support, having our expert teams work closely alongside Seacom, a leader in the region for enterprise connectivity,” says Ilyas Esmail, CEO at Forefront.
