Obscure Technologies partners with SharkStriker to launch Vantage - a next-gen SOC service

WILMINGTON, Del. - July 8, 2026 - PRLog -- Obscure Technologies has partnered with global cybersecurity vendor SharkStriker to launch Vantage, a next-generation Managed SOC service for businesses across Africa. The collaboration delivers human-led, tech-driven SOC-as-a-service to strengthen cybersecurity resilience across the continent.

July 2026 – Obscure Technologies, a leading cybersecurity distributor in South Africa, has announced a partnership with SharkStriker, a global cybersecurity vendor.

Through this strategic partnership, Obscure Technologies will be offering advanced cybersecurity capabilities to organisations across Africa through "Vantage SOC service" – a next-generation SOC service that combines human expertise with technological prowess to help organisations across Africa in strengthening their cybersecurity maturity and compliance confidence.

The service will enable businesses to access enterprise-grade security of their infrastructure without having to take up the complexity and overhead associated with building and managing an in-house Security Operations Centre.

This collaboration comes at a critical time as African organisations face a staggering rise in ransomware attacks, identity-based threats, cloud security incidents, insider threats, and sophisticated threat campaigns targeting critical infrastructure.

It will help organisations keep their reputation secure through operational continuity, improved compliance, and round-the-clock security of their precious information assets.

"The cybersecurity market is crowded with vendors offering new cybersecurity solutions. But without the right tuning/configuration/management of these solutions, organisations struggle with poor detection, limited incident response, and exposure to hidden security risks due to misconfigured tools and an unmonitored stack.

Our partnership aims to bridge this gap by offering human expertise to help African organisations make the most of their cybersecurity investments through mature defences and improved compliance. It extends enterprise-grade SOC capabilities to organisations across Africa through a trusted regional cybersecurity leader." Ajay Nawani, CEO, S
SharkStriker.

As cyber threats continue to threaten the African market, businesses require cybersecurity services that are scalable, outcome-driven, and aligned with operational realities.

Organisations today don't need just security tools but also a team of human experts who can tune and manage their stack against modern-day threats, ensuring continuous visibility, accurate threat analysis, and rapid incident response." Francois van Hirtum, Managing Director, Obscure Technologies

The Vantage SOC service is a flexible, vendor-agnostic SOC-as-a-service package tailored to support organisations at different stages of cybersecurity maturity.
