Resecurity and AfricaCERT Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Cybersecurity Across the African Continent

LOS ANGELES & ACCRA, Ghana--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 11, 2025--

Resecurity, Inc., a U.S.-based cybersecurity and threat intelligence company, has entered into a formal Joint Cooperation Agreement with AfricaCERT, the premier pan-African organization coordinating computer emergency response teams (CERTs) and national cybersecurity centers. This partnership lays the groundwork for long-term cooperation in sharing cyber threat intelligence, capacity building, and strategic incident response across Africa.

Enhancing Regional Cyber Defense

As part of the agreement, Resecurity will provide AfricaCERT with direct access to its Context ™ and Risk ™ advanced CTI platforms. The platforms are designed to support national-level threat monitoring, cyber risk intelligence, and digital investigations. This capability will enable 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 across the continent. These are the same CTI Resecurity services used by NGOs both inside and outside Africa to fight human trafficking, fraud, and other illegal activities.

AfricaCERT’s leadership emphasized that real-time access to threat intelligence is crucial for preventing and responding to cyberattacks targeting 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,” said Mr. Kodzo Gadzekpo Adomey, Operations Manager at AfricaCERT. “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.”

A Shared Commitment to Intelligence-Led Security

Resecurity’s threat intelligence aggregates data from multiple sources, including the deep and dark web, closed forums, malware telemetry, and exposed data repositories. By leveraging this platform, AfricaCERT will be able to detect early warning signs of cyberattacks and act on verified intelligence to reduce risk across national and regional networks.

“We are honored to work alongside AfricaCERT in building stronger cyber defense capabilities throughout the continent,” said Shawn Loveland, Chief Operating Officer of Resecurity. “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.”

Supporting Capacity Building and Incident Response

Beyond technology enablement, the agreement supports broader strategic objectives, including:

AfricaCERT will support Resecurity’s regional outreach through communications, references, and joint participation in cybersecurity development programs. The two organizations will also hold regular strategy meetings to review progress, share insights, and adapt to the evolving threat landscape.

Governance, Confidentiality, and Long-Term Vision

The agreement clearly defines terms related to confidentiality, usage restrictions, and intellectual property protections. It also outlines mutual responsibilities and future cooperation plans that both parties must adhere to. Both parties have agreed to respect sensitive data policies and uphold the trust of partners and stakeholders across the region.

The signing of the agreement marks a significant milestone in Resecurity’s global engagement strategy and reflects AfricaCERT’s leadership in uniting security and incident response teams to build a resilient cyber ecosystem.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — An ailing astronaut returned to Earth with three others on Thursday, ending their space station mission more than a month early in NASA’s first medical evacuation.

SpaceX guided the capsule to a middle-of-the-night splashdown in the Pacific near San Diego, less than 11 hours after the astronauts exited the International Space Station.

“It’s so good to be home,” said NASA astronaut Zena Cardman, the capsule commander.

It was an unexpected finish to a mission that began in August and left the orbiting lab with only one American and two Russians on board. NASA and SpaceX said they would try to move up the launch of a fresh crew of four; liftoff is currently targeted for mid-February.

Cardman and NASA’s Mike Fincke were joined on the return by Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russia’s Oleg Platonov. Officials have refused to identify the astronaut who had the health problem or explain what happened, citing medical privacy.

While the astronaut was stable in orbit, NASA wanted them back on Earth as soon as possible to receive proper care and diagnostic testing. The entry and splashdown required no special changes or accommodations, officials said, and the recovery ship had its usual allotment of medical experts on board. It was not immediately known when the astronauts would fly from California to their home base in Houston. Platonov’s return to Moscow was also unclear.

NASA stressed repeatedly over the past week that this was not an emergency. The astronaut fell sick or was injured on Jan. 7, prompting NASA to call off the next day’s spacewalk by Cardman and Fincke, and ultimately resulting in the early return. It was the first time NASA cut short a spaceflight for medical reasons. The Russians had done so decades ago.

The space station has gotten by with three astronauts before, sometimes even with just two. NASA said it will be unable to perform a spacewalk, even for an emergency, until the arrival of the next crew, which has two Americans, one French and one Russian astronaut.
