Axiz and Kaspersky Team Up to Fortify African Cybersecurity
This collaboration aims to bring world-class security solutions closer to businesses throughout Africa, leveraging Axiz's extensive channel network.
In a significant move to enhance digital defenses across the continent, Axiz, a leading value-added distributor, has announced an immediate partnership with global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky. This collaboration aims to bring world-class security solutions closer to businesses throughout Africa, leveraging Axiz’s extensive channel network.
The partnership will significantly expand Axiz’s cybersecurity portfolio, offering a comprehensive suite of tools designed for detection, response, and protection against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. This includes advanced solutions for endpoint and mobile security, as well as specialized protection for critical areas such as operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT) environments, KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) technologies, containerized workloads, and cloud infrastructure.
Through this agreement, Axiz partners will gain access to the Kaspersky channel program, which operates on a two-tier model. This structure is specifically designed to provide robust support and enablement for resellers, fostering a strong distribution network across the region.
Both companies emphasize that this collaboration will benefit a wide array of industries, with a particular focus on sectors that have historically been underserved or vulnerable, including those heavily reliant on OT, IoT, and KVM technologies. Traditional enterprises and cloud-first businesses alike are set to gain enhanced access to Kaspersky’s cutting-edge cybersecurity offerings.
This partnership underscores Kaspersky’s ongoing commitment to the African continent, as the company continues to make long-term investments to support the growth of its channel ecosystem and bolster regional cyber defense capabilities.
