  • African Businesses are Now Protected Against DDoS Attack

    African Businesses are Now Protected Against DDoS Attack

    Liquid Networks, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies, a pan-African technology group, announced the launch of its Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Secure offering to its customers. The solution is made to stop attacks before they happen by cleaning traffic and blocking known attackers or traffic that is known to be bad.

    According to Ahmad Mokhles, CEO of Liquid Networks, “Cyber Attacks are at an all-time high, costing the African GDP a staggering US$4.1 billion in 2021 due to cyber security threats. Additionally, DDoS assaults are added to the list of cyber security attacks; the enormous cost to our GDP is substantial proof that no company can afford to be without a layer of protection against them.” While DDoS attacks have become more sophisticated over time, our service has kept pace. Customers can concentrate on their core business needs while being secure from DDoS assaults when traffic is scrubbed at one of our four scrubbing centers.

    The company reached a milestone with its new DDoS development

    All possible Internet and IP transit clients are being offered the service, and all existing clients are also given access to a proactive protection service wherever Liquid has operations in Africa. With DDoS Secure, clients can rest easy knowing that their network, income, and reputation as a business are all safe. The service also gives them a chance for expansion and partnerships through DDoS compliance.

    DDoS Secure secures the networks and operations of its customers and provides them with a line of sight into attempted attacks through post-incident reporting on all mitigations carried out. Liquid will also be able to keep an eye on all online activity in real-time with the help of the newly opened Next-Gen Cyber Security Fusion Centre and stop any attack before it reaches its clients’ networks.

    “With this measure in place, possible assaults will be more visible, and we will be able to mitigate threats and fortify enterprises proactively, automatically. We can now manage and safeguard our clients in real-time as well.” Mohkles said, “Liquid Cyber Security has reached another milestone as it unveils a system that incorporates the ultimate defenses against DDoS assaults.”

  • Liquid Expands its Operation in Zambia

    Liquid Expands its Operation in Zambia

    Cassava Technologies’ Pan-African group, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, has announced that it will expand its operations in Zambia by opening its first office in Mkushi, which is in the country’s Central Province.

    According to a statement made public by the corporation, the launch would provide a suite of intelligent technologies and a high-speed connection to the region for the first time. 

    Mark Townsend, Chief Executive Officer of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Zambia, said in response to the expanding presence in the country that “Mkushi is an agriculture town well-known for its large commercial farms.” “We realised that this underserved community is key to ensuring that we take one more step towards creating a digitally connected future that leaves no Zambian behind.”

    What to Expect from the Expansion

    Most people who live in Mkushi work on farms and the town is known for its large commercial farms. Liquid’s high-speed connectivity and digital services will make it easier for commercial farmers and other people who work in this industry to be more independent. This will, in turn, make it easier for more foreign direct investment to go into Zambia’s agricultural sector.

    “The town of Mkushi is mostly an agricultural community, and it is well known for its enormous commercial farms.” Liquid’s widespread high-speed connectivity and digital services will give commercial farmers and others in this industry more freedom, which will make it easier for more foreign direct investment to go into Zambia’s agricultural sector. Townsend explained.

     Observations

    In order to make the Zambian government’s goal of a “Smart Zambia” a reality over the last ten years, the government of Zambia has been working closely with Liquid in the nation. This is part of a public-private partnership (PPP) that has been going on all along. This ambition will soon become a reality, and the company’s growth into Mkushi is only one more step toward achieving this goal in the near future.

    Liquid’s unique offering comprises smart technologies that give clients in many industries high-speed and reliable cross-border connectivity, cloud, cyber security, and digital products. 100,000Liquid’s 100 000 km of wholly-owned fibre network across the continent, combined with its VSAT network, provides high-speed access to Zambia’s and the continent’s most remote regions.

    What Else is Liquid Technology Doing?

    A few months ago, the company launched its first Cyber Security Fusion Centers in Johannesburg, South Africa, intending to boost the cyber-security industry in South Africa and Africa as a whole by combating the rising threat of cyber-attacks against the government and private businesses.

    In the 21st century, digital technology has spread quickly, and South Africa is part of that trend. As a result, there is a chance that cyberattacks will happen against businesses and even governments. As a result, these fusion centres will collect information about cyberattacks and collaborate with the existing Liquid cloud operations and operation centres to ensure that users have a complete network, cloud, and cybersecurity support from start to finish.

    This newly opened centre will eliminate silos and make people more aware of cyber-attacks. This will lead to deeper collaboration between teams, making them more cyber-resilient. Businesses will always be one step ahead of cyber-attacks because of security advisories, managed services, and integrated cyber intelligence.
