As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication across Africa’s digital economy, TD Africa and Check Point Technologies have intensified efforts to strengthen the continent’s cybersecurity preparedness through enhanced partner development and enterprise protection initiatives.
During a recent high-level management meeting, Africa’s foremost technology ecosystem enabler and distribution company, TD Africa, engaged with global cybersecurity powerhouse Check Point Technologies to chart a path for deeper collaboration aimed at expanding cybersecurity capacity across the continent.
The discussions underscored the critical need for organisations to build robust cyber resilience in response to the rapidly evolving threat landscape.
The engagement brought together senior executives from both organisations to identify opportunities for empowering channel partners, broadening access to cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and equipping businesses with the tools required to safeguard their digital assets.
Central to the conversations was a shared commitment to developing sustainable cybersecurity capabilities through structured partner enablement programmes, professional certifications, and increased access to globally recognised security technologies.
Leading the Check Point delegation, Vincent Mabaso, Channel Lead for Africa, commended TD Africa for its longstanding role in advancing cybersecurity adoption across the continent.
“TD Africa has consistently stood at the forefront of bridging cybersecurity gaps across Africa. As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought.
“Businesses that value efficiency, continuity, and growth must invest in modern security frameworks and the skills required to manage them. Our partnership with TD Africa continues to play an important role in building the ecosystem, capacity, and expertise needed to secure Africa’s digital future,” he said.
Responding to Mabaso, Chioma Chimere, Coordinating Managing Director, TD Africa, highlighted the growing importance of cybersecurity within the enterprise technology landscape and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to helping organisations navigate emerging digital risks.
“Our decision to partner with Check Point over the years has significantly strengthened our enterprise business offerings at a time when cybersecurity has become a business necessity rather than an option.
“Through our partnership with Check Point, we are not only providing access to world-class security technologies but also helping businesses build the resilience needed to thrive in today’s digital economy,” she said.
A major outcome of the meeting was the commitment by both organisations to expand training and certification opportunities for channel partners.
By leveraging TD Africa’s extensive partner ecosystem and Check Point’s cybersecurity expertise, the initiative will equip partners with the technical knowledge and globally recognised certifications required to support customers in addressing modern security challenges.
The meeting reinforces the shared commitment of TD Africa and Check Point to building a stronger cybersecurity ecosystem across Africa, one that combines innovative technology, skilled professionals, and strategic partnerships to help organisations operate securely and confidently in an increasingly connected world.
