# Africa SME Cybersecurity Platform (AfriSec) π
> **Cybersecurity-as-a-Service for Small and Medium Enterprises in South Africa**
## π Overview
AfriSec is a **Cybersecurity-as-a-Service (CSaaS)** platform designed specifically for **Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)** operating in **South Africa**. We recognize that SMEs face the same cybersecurity threats as large enterprises but lack the budget, expertise, and resources to implement traditional enterprise-grade security solutions.
**Our Approach** π―
- π **Open-source foundation**: We build on battle-tested open-source security tools (OpenVAS, Suricata, Wazuh, etc.)
- π§© **Integration code** = **Your IP**: The scripts, configurations, dashboards, and business logic that stitch these tools together into a cohesive, automated service
- π **Built-in compliance**: POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) compliance built-in
- π° **Affordable**: Designed for SME budgets
- βοΈ **Flexible deployment**: Self-hosted or cloud-based
