West African submarine cable cuts have caused multi-country outages with hours-to-days of impact. We use these incidents to pressure-test our customers' resilience designs, and most fail.
West Africa has seen multiple high-profile submarine cable incidents in recent years, most notably the 14 March 2024 quad-cable incident off Côte d'Ivoire (WACS, MainOne, SAT-3, and ACE all severed in a suspected undersea avalanche), which knocked out international connectivity across 13 African countries for hours and, for MainOne in particular, weeks of degraded capacity. These events are not 'black swans'; they are foreseeable disruptions in a system with concentrated international capacity routes.
If you can't say with confidence which physical cables your traffic rides today, you don't have a redundancy story, you have a redundancy diagram. We audit this for clients before we propose any rearchitecture.
Telecom tariffs in Nigeria have moved upward across multiple cycles. For institutional buyers on legacy WAN, the cost-control story is no longer 'shop harder', it's architectural.
A SaaS-supply-chain breach at Instructure pulled student records from thousands of institutions worldwide. Nigerian universities running Canvas, Moodle, or in-house portals share the same attack surface. Here's the network-layer playbook for protecting them.
Banks, fintechs, MDAs, and hospitals across Nigeria are under steady cyber pressure. Here's the threat profile we hear about most often from CISOs and IT leads, and the network-side defenses we deploy as part of Secure SD-WAN.
