MTN Business and Cloudflare expand partnership for managed security services

MTN Business teams up with Cloudflare to fight cyber crime across South Africa. The telecom giant becomes the first company to offer Cloudflare's top security services as managed solutions. Businesses can access world-class protection without needing their technical teams to handle everything. The partnership targets companies struggling with remote work security and increasing online threats. Cloudflare stopped millions of cyber attacks across Africa during the first three months of 2025.

Companies face more dangerous online criminals every day. Small startups and large corporations need better defenses against hackers. MTN will deliver Cloudflare's security tools to businesses across the region. The collaboration brings global cyber protection to local markets. A recent study found companies using Cloudflare earned back 238 percent on their investment over three years.

David Behr from MTN says the partnership brings the best cyber security to customers. Tom Evans from Cloudflare believes service providers like MTN help extend protection across Africa. The security platform works with existing computer systems without causing disruptions. South African businesses can start using these services right away. The partnership will expand to other African countries soon.
