Strategic Alliance to Advance Africa’s Cybersecurity Landscape
ATS Network Management, a leading South African IT solutions provider, has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Keeper Security, a global leader in zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software.
The partnership aims to expand the adoption of advanced, AI-driven security technologies across South Africa and the broader African continent, ahead of the Africa Tech Festival 2025, scheduled for November 11–13 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
Empowering African Enterprises with Zero-Trust Solutions
Speaking on the partnership, Glenn Lazarus, CEO of ATS Network Management, described the collaboration as a milestone for Africa’s cybersecurity evolution.

“This partnership with Keeper Security is a major milestone for ATS Network Management and for the African cybersecurity landscape,” said Lazarus.
He explained that ATS’s mission as a value-added distributor is to empower African enterprises with affordable, scalable, and world-class security technologies.
Keeper Security’s AI-powered, zero-trust platform, he added, aligns with this vision by helping organisations safeguard digital identities and access across distributed and hybrid work environments.
Addressing the Growing Cyber Threat in Africa
Africa faces an escalating cyber threat landscape. Lazarus cited alarming statistics from the African Union and Interpol, which indicate that cyberattacks have increased by over 80% in the past two years, resulting in annual losses exceeding $4 billion from ransomware, phishing, and data breaches.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remain vulnerable, even as digital transformation accelerates across industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and government.
“Together, ATS Network Management and Keeper will help organisations of every size protect their people, data, and infrastructure, while supporting Africa’s growing digital economy,” Lazarus added.
Keeper Security Expands African Footprint
Bryan McGlynn, Global Distribution Manager at Keeper Security, highlighted the strategic importance of the partnership in expanding Keeper’s footprint across Africa.
“Partnering with ATS Network Management represents a significant step in expanding Keeper’s availability across South Africa and the wider African continent,” McGlynn said.
He noted that as South Africa strengthens its cybersecurity and data protection framework through regulations like the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the Cybercrimes Act, organisations are prioritising proactive, compliance-ready security solutions.
Keeper’s zero-trust, zero-knowledge platform integrates password, passkey, secrets, and privileged access management (KeeperPAM®), giving enterprises full visibility and control over user identities, credentials, and devices.
