Liquid C2 has joined forces with training platform CyberCoach to roll out AI-powered security awareness across the African continent, aiming to bridge a critical skills gap in the region’s rapidly digitising economy.
The collaboration, announced today will see Liquid C2, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies, integrate CyberCoach’s privacy-first training and compliance tools into its existing security portfolio.
The initiative arrives at a pivotal moment for African enterprise, as businesses grapple with the dual challenges of rapid growth and sophisticated digital threats.
The move is largely driven by the staggering pace of digital adoption across the continent.
Industry forecasts suggest the African digital transformation market is set to expand significantly, with a projected 15.62% CAGR over 2026-2031.
However, experts warn that this growth brings inherent vulnerabilities.
Vinay Hiralall, Chief Commercial Officer at Liquid C2, noted that while the statistics highlight exponential growth, they also signal a rising tide of risk.
“Without the necessary cyber security guardrails in place, cyberattacks will grow unchecked,” Mr Hiralall cautioned. “With a strategic partner like CyberCoach, Liquid C2 can help organisations roll out training programmes on interactive chatbot integrated platforms like Microsoft Teams, Slack or even web browsers of choice.”
The partnership aims to tackle a specific weakness identified in the 2025 Interpol Africa report, which found that 95% of respondents lacked access to adequate training, specialised tools, and sufficient resources.
Consequently, the new service will move away from “one-size-fits-all” modules.
Instead, it utilizes tailored learning paths based on specific job functions, delivered via Liquid C2 and its Cloudmania channel ecosystem.
This network will distribute the training to a broad range of clients, including: Large-scale enterprises, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Public-sector institutions.
By focusing on the “human element” of security, the two companies hope to foster a more resilient digital society.
Maria Bique, CEO of CyberCoach, emphasized that the collaboration is rooted in shared values regarding evidence-based learning.
“We are proud to collaborate with Liquid C2, whose scale, values, and commitment to digital empowerment in Africa align strongly with our mission to build a safer digital society,” Ms Bique said.
She added that the approach would help businesses “thrive responsibly” by equipping staff with critical AI and security skills.
As African businesses continue to move their operations into the cloud, the success of this partnership may well determine how effectively the continent can defend its burgeoning digital economy against global threats.
