By developing cooperation with Afripol and providing it with the information and technologies necessary to respond to emerging cyber threats, we increase our contribution to enhancing cyber resilience and building a universal safe cyberspace," commented Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab.

"This agreement is a step forward in strengthening Africa's digital security. By leveraging Kaspersky Lab's experience, expertise and resources, we are not only enhancing Afripol's ability to combat cyber threats, but also helping to create a safe digital space for all Africans. This collaboration is valuable for both organizations: it strengthens Afripol's capabilities, and allows Kaspersky Lab to play a key role in the digital security of a strategically important continent. Together, we are making a significant step towards resilience and digital trust in Africa, leveraging the strengths of both organizations," said Afripol Acting CEO Jalel Chelba.
