African operators are navigating a cyber landscape where threats evolve faster than traditional defences can react, making proactive discovery essential rather than optional. With AI-driven threat hunting now within reach, the region has a real opportunity to leapfrog outdated security models and build intelligence-led resilience from the ground up.

Many African operators and enterprises still rely on traditional reactive defences. What steps can they take to build a proactive threat discovery and hunting capability?

Satellite power, African potential: How SES plans to shape the continent’s connectivity

15 December 2025

Africa’s digital momentum is accelerating, and satellite technology is emerging as one of the continent’s most powerful equalisers. SES lays out how its multi-orbit strategy, new scale, and sharpened focus aim to transform connectivity across Africa over the next five years.

Pablo Catapodis, Vice President, Africa Sales

A frica is moving into a new phase of satellite-driven connectivity, and within this rapidly evolving landscape, the strongest near-term growth opportunities lie in a few very clear areas: expanding broadband access to underserved and remote regions; supporting enterprise and government digitalisation; and enabling mobile backhaul for telecom operators who are racing to extend coverage to communities still waiting for reliable service.
