New prevention-first cybersecurity technology equips African enterprises with scalable, lightweight defenses against modern ransomware and AI-driven threats
Morphisec, the global leader in prevention-first cybersecurity solutions, today announced its partnership with DataGroupIT (DGIT), Africa’s foremost value-added distributor of cybersecurity services. This collaboration extends Morphisec’s industry leading prevention-first technology, Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD), to African enterprises, addressing the unique cybersecurity challenges across the continent.
Our partnership with DataGroupIT aligns with our mission to deliver proactive and scalable protection that outpaces the rapidly evolving threat environment.”

Tackling Africa’s Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape
Africa is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with businesses increasingly adopting hybrid infrastructures and cloud technologies. However, this growth has coincided with a surge in sophisticated cyberattacks. Ransomware incidents alone saw significant increases across key regions like South Africa and Nigeria, while resource-constrained organizations face heightened risks from AI-driven threats, including fileless malware and advanced phishing schemes.
Traditional detection-and-response tools are struggling to keep pace with this rapidly evolving threat landscape. Morphisec and DataGroupIT’s partnership ensures African enterprises now have access to prevention-first solutions that stop attacks before they cause harm.

“Our partnership with DataGroupIT aligns with our mission to deliver proactive and scalable protection that outpaces the rapidly evolving threat environment,” said William Stevens, Director of Channels at Morphisec. “With Morphisec, African enterprises can achieve operational resilience by stopping attacks before they occur, ensuring business continuity in a high-risk era.”
Revolutionary Prevention-First Technology
Morphisec’s AMTD technology sets the standard for proactive endpoint security by dynamically shifting the attack surface, making it virtually impossible for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional tools, this prevention-first approach eliminates performance slowdowns, reduces operational complexity, and ensures seamless deployment across hybrid IT environments, including legacy infrastructure.
Key capabilities include:
• Proactive prevention of advanced threats, including ransomware, AI-driven attacks, fileless malware, polymorphic attacks, and zero-day exploits.
• Seamless integration with existing Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms and critical cybersecurity solutions, fortifying endpoint defenses while eliminating gaps.
• Reduced alert fatigue and operational overhead for lean IT and security teams, enabling a focus on critical priorities.
• Lightweight architecture that minimizes resource consumption and ensures quick deployment, even in hybrid and resource-constrained environments.
• Scalable support for hybrid, legacy, and cloud-native systems, making it adaptable to Africa’s diverse infrastructure needs.
Expanding Coverage Across Africa
Through DGIT’s extensive distribution network, Morphisec’s solutions will now be available in key regions, including South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, the SADC region, Côte d’Ivoire, and beyond.
This partnership leverages DGIT’s deep regional expertise and tailored cybersecurity services to ensure organizations can successfully adopt prevention-first technology at scale.
“The collaboration with Morphisec brings world-class cybersecurity technology to African enterprises at a pivotal moment,” said Werner Lindemann, CEO of DataGroupIT. “The combination of prevention-first innovation and our in-depth understanding of African business needs empowers companies to reduce risks and build trust while navigating digital transformation.”
