Resecurity, a U.
S.-based cybersecurity and threat intelligence company, has formalized a Joint Cooperation Agreement with AfricaCERT, the premier pan-African organization coordinating computer emergency response teams (CERTs) and national cybersecurity centers, to bolster cyber threat intelligence sharing, capacity building, and strategic incident response across the continent.
Under the agreement, Resecurity will provide AfricaCERT with direct access to its Context™ and Risk™ advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) platforms. These platforms are engineered to support national-level threat monitoring, cyber risk intelligence, and digital investigations, enabling 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. These CTI services are also utilized by NGOs to combat human trafficking, fraud, and other illicit activities.
Mr. Kodzo Gadzekpo Adomey, Operations Manager at AfricaCERT, emphasized the criticality of real-time threat intelligence for preventing and responding to cyberattacks on 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,” Mr. Adomey stated. “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.”
Resecurity’s threat intelligence aggregates data from diverse sources, including the deep and dark web, closed forums, malware telemetry, and exposed data repositories. Leveraging this platform will enable AfricaCERT to detect early warning signs of cyberattacks and act on verified intelligence to mitigate risks across national and regional networks.
Shawn Loveland, Chief Operating Officer of Resecurity, commented on the collaboration: “We are honored to work alongside AfricaCERT in building stronger cyber defense capabilities throughout the continent. 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.”
Beyond technological support, the agreement encompasses broader strategic objectives. These include capacity building through training, workshops, and joint exercises; information sharing concerning cybercrime trends, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and digital fraud affecting African nations; participation in international cybersecurity events and panels; and collaborative responses to major incidents and transnational threats.
AfricaCERT will also support Resecurity’s regional outreach through communications, references, and joint involvement in cybersecurity development programs. Both organizations are committed to holding regular strategy meetings to review progress, share insights, and adapt to the evolving threat landscape.
The agreement establishes clear terms for confidentiality, usage restrictions, and intellectual property protections, outlining mutual responsibilities and future cooperation plans. Both parties have agreed to uphold sensitive data policies and maintain the trust of partners and stakeholders. This partnership represents a significant step in Resecurity’s global engagement strategy and reinforces AfricaCERT’s role in uniting security and incident response teams to foster a resilient cyber ecosystem.
