Kaspersky opens its first African Transparency Center in Rwanda
As a part of the Africa Cyber Defense Forum (ACDF), Kaspersky has unveiled the inauguration of its inaugural Transparency Center in the African region. Situated in Kigali, Rwanda, this center is launched as a component of Kaspersky's Global Transparency Initiative, aimed at emphasizing the trustworthiness of the company's solutions and advocating for increased transparency within the cybersecurity sector.
This new center provides visitors with an in-depth understanding of Kaspersky's engineering and data processing practices, coupled with a live demonstration of the source code for its products and services.
The Transparency Center in Kigali is accessible to Kaspersky's partners, customers, and regulatory bodies overseeing cybersecurity. It is tailored to accommodate the "blue piste" review option, a feature that has gained considerable popularity among visitors to Transparency Centers since the inaugural facility opened its doors in 2018.
Key Takeaways
The African region has witnessed a consistent rise in internet penetration over the years, with broadband access growing from 26% in 2019 to 36% in 2022, as reported by the World Bank. The African Union's Digital Transformation Strategy aims to digitally empower all individuals in Africa by 2030, ushering in a period of increased digitalization that presents both opportunities and challenges. Highlighting the significant connection between transparency and the battle against cybercrime, the opening of the new Transparency Center was well-received by the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL), underscoring Kaspersky's dedication to both causes. This development aligns with the evolving digital landscape and the efforts to ensure a secure and transparent digital future for the African continent.
