Mart Networks Group, a Kenya-founded technology distributor with more than three decades of experience across the Middle East and Africa, has entered into a strategic partnership with Infopercept, one of India’s fastest-growing managed security services companies. The collaboration will see Mart Networks distributing Infopercept’s flagship cybersecurity platforms—Invinsense OXDR and Invinsense GSOS—across East and West Africa.
Mart Networks, established in 1996, has built a strong reputation for delivering value-added distribution of emerging and critical technologies, particularly in networking, security, and digital transformation. The partnership with Infopercept aligns with Mart Networks’ mission to expand access to future-ready solutions, particularly as cyber threats targeting African organizations become more sophisticated and compliance obligations increase.
Infopercept brings to this partnership its platform-led approach to cybersecurity, offering offensive and defensive tools, detection and response capabilities, and governance solutions through its proprietary Invinsense platform. The company has developed a comprehensive cybersecurity stack that integrates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), deception technologies, offensive tools, and compliance management into a unified system. Infopercept’s services are designed to provide 24/7 protection through expert-led Managed Detection and Response (MDR) teams.
Under the new agreement, Mart Networks will distribute two of Infopercept’s core platforms – OXDR and GSOS – to enterprises, institutions, and service providers in the region.
Invinsense OXDR: A Comprehensive Platform for Threat Exposure Management
Invinsense OXDR (Offensive Extended Detection and Response) combines multiple proactive cybersecurity capabilities into a single suite. These include:
- Attack Surface Management (ASM)
- Vulnerability Management (VM)
- Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)
- Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART)
- RedOps (Red Team Operations)
Rather than focusing solely on known vulnerabilities, OXDR enables organizations to uncover and respond to a wide range of potential exposures. This includes misconfigurations, counterfeit or unauthorized digital assets, weak security controls, and failure points in phishing defenses. By validating and prioritizing these exposures through offensive simulations and continuous testing, OXDR helps organizations adopt a threat-informed defense strategy that is responsive and actionable.
Invinsense GSOS: Structured and Scalable Compliance Management
In addition to threat exposure, regulatory compliance continues to be a major challenge for African enterprises. Invinsense GSOS (Govern Secure Optimize and Strengthen) is Infopercept’s platform for addressing this need. It consists of seven integrated modules that support:
- Cybersecurity strategy development
- Policy enforcement
- Risk and governance oversight
- Regulatory tracking and reporting
- Compliance alignment across multiple standards
- Awareness training and gap analysis
- Ongoing audit readiness
GSOS is designed to help organizations efficiently manage compliance in increasingly complex regulatory environments, including those spanning data protection, critical infrastructure security, and financial sector governance.
Addressing the Growing Need for Security and Compliance in Africa
Moiz Maloo, CEO of Mart Networks Group, explained the growing urgency for advanced security and compliance tools in Africa:
“The increasing sophistication and volume of cyberattacks in Africa demand a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. Organizations must now move beyond traditional security and incorporate proactive strategies like Threat Exposure Management. Moreover, compliance is a growing challenge that requires a structured, platform-driven solution.”
He emphasized that Mart Networks, with its strong presence in Africa, has seen firsthand how the continent’s organizations are becoming prime targets for complex cyber threats:
“Our mission has always been to equip partners and clients with practical, forward-looking technology. Infopercept’s Invinsense platforms give us a much-needed expansion in our cybersecurity portfolio, helping organizations not only defend themselves but also meet their compliance goals.”
Platform-Led Managed Services to Bridge Skill Gaps
Jaydeep Ruparelia, CEO of Infopercept, pointed out that Africa’s cybersecurity landscape reflects a diverse mix of cloud-native companies, legacy systems, and hybrid models—all of which require tailored protection strategies. He believes Invinsense is uniquely equipped to serve these varied environments:
“Cybersecurity has been our core since day one. As we expand into Africa, we wanted a partner that shares our vision—and Mart Networks is exactly that. Invinsense is built for flexibility, and it allows us to deliver platform-led managed services that bridge both the technology and skill gaps.”
He noted that one of Infopercept’s priorities is to address the global shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals—particularly in emerging markets—by offering platforms that consolidate and automate critical functions under expert supervision:
“Together with Mart Networks, we aim to help African organizations defend against advanced threats while reducing dependency on hard-to-find in-house expertise.”
A Timely Collaboration for Africa’s Cybersecurity Growth
As African countries continue to embrace digital transformation across finance, telecoms, government, and education, the risks of cyberattacks and regulatory penalties have grown significantly. The partnership between Mart Networks and Infopercept is timely, aiming to deliver structured, manageable, and effective cybersecurity strategies tailored for the region.
Both companies bring a depth of regional understanding and technical innovation to the table—Mart Networks through its decades-long distribution experience in Africa and the Middle East, and Infopercept through its cutting-edge platforms and globally recognized cybersecurity practices.
