en.Wedoany.com Reported - Galeboe Professional Services, an African IT solutions provider, has recently been awarded top partner status by Check Point Software Technologies, aiming to deliver AI-driven cybersecurity solutions to organizations in the region through this significant collaboration.

As cyber threats continue to evolve in scale and complexity, the acceleration of digital transformation in Africa makes this partnership instrumental in enhancing the region's cyber resilience.

Cecil Thokoane, CEO of Galeboe, stated that organizations across Africa are at a critical crossroads. He noted that AI-driven cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, while many systems were not originally designed to counter such threats. Issues such as cloud misconfigurations, delayed patching and system upgrades, and limited visibility into organizational exposure continue to create vulnerabilities.

Africa is one of the regions most severely affected by cyberattacks globally. According to data from Check Point's "African Perspectives on Cyber Security Report 2025," organizations on the continent face an average of 3,153 cyberattacks per week. In March 2026, South African organizations experienced 1,922 attacks per week. These figures reflect an imbalance between the rapid adoption of AI and the security frameworks required to support it.

Thokoane added that a preventive approach is no longer optional. Cybersecurity needs to shift from reactive response to proactive prevention, with continuous monitoring, proactive threat intelligence, and AI-driven protection being essential. Check Point's solutions enable organizations to secure their AI transformation journey, ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of security.

Check Point continues to invest in AI-driven cybersecurity innovation, enhancing its ability to defend against next-generation threats through acquisitions of companies such as Lakera, Cyclops, Cyata, and Rotate.

Vincent Mabaso, Channel Director (Africa) at Check Point, stated that Galeboe's elevation to top partner status is a testament to its technical expertise, customer outcomes, and commitment to cybersecurity excellence. Its track record in enterprise environments makes it a key partner in helping African organizations navigate the threat landscape.

The partnership also enhances access to flexible cybersecurity consumption models, including Check Point's Managed Service Provider (MSP) framework. Thokoane noted that through flexible payment models such as pay-as-you-go, more organizations can access enterprise-grade cybersecurity, which is particularly important in Africa where cost and scalability often pose barriers to adopting security measures.

Looking ahead, Galeboe plans to expand its operations beyond South Africa into key African markets, helping organizations securely advance their digital transformation initiatives. Thokoane concluded that as Africa continues to embrace AI and cloud technologies, security must scale in tandem, and the partnership with Check Point ensures the company can support this secure, sustainable, and scalable process.
