AttackIQ enters South Africa with key appointment
AttackIQ, a leader in continuous security validation and exposure management, has announced its entry into the South African market with the appointment of Luke Cifarelli as its Country Manager.
This move signals AttackIQ’ s commitment to the African region and its mission to help organisations build and maintain a threatinformed defence against today’ s relentless cyberthreat environment. Recognising that effective security validation is a necessity for businesses of all sizes and maturities, AttackIQ’ s portfolio is designed to democratise access to enterprise-grade testing. AttackIQ’ s Flex offering delivers essential, agent-less security validation that is both cost-effective and simple to deploy, bringing the power of a threatinformed defence within reach of mid-market organisations and streamlining operations for lean security teams.
Cifarelli highlighted that AttackIQ’ s Strategic Partner Program provides a framework for MSSPs and technology firms to build and deliver managed security validation services.
“ This mature programme includes dedicated technical enablement, go-to-market support and API-level integrations designed for multi-tenancy. A testament to this partner-first approach is its official technology partnership with several global tech giants including Microsoft. AttackIQ is co-sell ready through the Microsoft One Commercial Partner programme and offers direct integrations with Microsoft Sentinel( SIEM) and Microsoft Defender XDR,” said Cifarelli.
“ This allows joint customers to seamlessly operationalise continuous security validation, running tests and feeding results directly into their existing Microsoft security operations and tools.”
