At Seceon’s 2025 Q1 Innovation and Certification Days, Seceon CEO Chandra Pandey joined premier African MSSP partners Mark van Vuuren, Morné Toblanche, and Rudy Davidez to discuss how Seceon’s cybersecurity platform has transformed security operations in the region.
The Growing Demand for MSSP Cybersecurity Solutions in Africa
Rapid expansion of MSSPs in Africa – With cybersecurity threats on the rise, MSSPs in Africa are scaling their operations to protect more businesses and critical infrastructure.
Market opportunities – The region’s MSSP market is expanding rapidly, with many providers aiming to grow their reach five to ten times their current size.
Increasing client demand – Businesses are seeking cybersecurity solutions that offer fast deployment, cost efficiency, and comprehensive security coverage.
Toblanche emphasized that Seceon’s platform has been instrumental in helping his MSSP scale its operations efficiently, meeting growing market demand.
Why African MSSPs Are Choosing Seceon
Ease of use – Unlike other SIEM solutions that required constant reliance on consultants, Seceon’s platform allows MSSPs to manage security in-house.
Cost-effective infrastructure – Traditional SIEMs required up to four times the infrastructure investment, whereas Seceon’s lightweight deployment significantly reduces costs.
Faster time to value – Seceon enables MSSPs to onboard new clients in days instead of weeks or months, delivering immediate security benefits.
According to Toblanche, Seceon’s simplicity and efficiency have made it easier for MSSPs to introduce cybersecurity solutions to their clients, especially in a market where many businesses are new to managed security services.
