Tech firm to boost cybersecurity
A tech firm known as Tek Experts is set to open a new security operations centre under its cyber security business, Cytek, in Lagos.
The firm noted that the center, which would be backed by Microsoft’s AI-enabled Sentinel platform, would deliver a full suite of cyber security solutions, and provide round-the-clock protection for government entities and businesses operating in Nigeria and West Africa.
According to the firm in a statement, its managed SOC is operated by a team of cybersecurity experts and is based on a solid and innovative methodology.
It said by leveraging Microsoft’s AI-powered technology, cyber threats could be pinpointed and investigated at a pace that exceeds human capability.
The founder of YNV Group, Yaniv Natan, said, “Nigeria has always been a strategically important market for us. So, we are excited to establish a presence in Lagos.
“Our intercontinental network means we are in the unique position of being able to deliver genuinely seamless, 24/7, follow-the-sun cybersecurity services, all powered by Microsoft’s world-class AI technology.
We are delighted to provide Nigeria’s tech, financial, and business community with the confidence to expand rapidly in the knowledge they have the best cybersecurity tools at their disposal.”
Microsoft Country Manager, Nigeria, and Ghana, Ola Williams, added, said: “We actively seek opportunities to help clients gain easier access to our technology, which is why we are excited that Tek is establishing their SOC on Microsoft technology.
He said Microsoft would work closely Tek Experts to protect businesses and organisations in Nigeria against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
