Digicloud Africa, the leading value-added distributor of Google Cloud across Africa, has announced a new partnership with Google Security Operations to deliver advanced, AI-powered cybersecurity solutions to enterprises across the continent. The collaboration aims to help organizations modernize their security infrastructure and respond more effectively to the growing sophistication of cyber threats.
The partnership introduces a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform designed to leverage artificial intelligence and threat intelligence to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents in real time. Unlike legacy SIEM systems that struggle with scalability and agility, the Google Security Operations platform provides continuous visibility, faster response times, and seamless integration across cloud and hybrid environments. Through this partnership, Digicloud Africa will work with its network of specialized partners to deploy and support the Google Security Operations platform for businesses across diverse sectors.
The solution’s AI-powered automation and analytics capabilities have been shown to improve security team efficiency by up to 42% and deliver a 407% three-year return on investment, helping organizations strengthen their cyber resilience while optimizing operational costs. As cyber threats grow more complex and data volumes expand, the partnership is set to empower African enterprises to move beyond reactive defense strategies toward proactive, intelligence-led security operations.
By providing scalable, cloud-based solutions that combine AI, automation, and contextual analytics, Digicloud Africa and Google Security Operations aim to transform how organizations across the continent safeguard their digital environments. This collaboration marks a key milestone in Africa’s cybersecurity landscape, positioning Digicloud Africa as a trusted enabler of next-generation security technologies and reinforcing Google’s commitment to advancing secure digital transformation in emerging markets.
