Genians Stands Out with NAC Solution in African Market... "Securing New Customers for Financial Institutions"

Cybersecurity specialist Genieans is achieving strong results in Africa following its success in the United States and the Middle East.

Genieans announced on the 19th that it recently supplied ‘Genian NAC (Network Access Control)’ to two financial institutions in Kenya. Since entering the African market in 2022, Genieans has secured a total of six customers. The customer base is diverse, including sectors such as finance, educational institutions, and construction companies.

In particular, Genieans’ solution is gaining attention in Kenya’s Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization (SACCO) market. Based on this, the company is continuously expanding its customer base. Kenya enacted the 'Kenya Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act' in 2018 and is promoting sophisticated cybersecurity policies to protect key infrastructures such as finance.

However, as the complexity of IT environments increases and sophisticated cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructures like finance rise, transitioning to more advanced security architectures has become essential. In this context, demand for NAC, which secures network visibility and comprehensively protects internal networks, has increased.

Genieans’ ‘Genian NAC’ boasts scalability that covers cloud, remote work, and applications, enabling flexible responses to complex network environments. It also features authentication and security review functions for users and devices, allowing flexible application of context-aware access control policies.

Genieans expects its entry into the African market to have a positive impact on its global market strategy. Building on its achievements in Africa, the company plans to strengthen cooperation with various partner companies in Europe, North America, and other regions to further expand its global influence.

Kim Gye-yeon, head of Genieans’ U.S. branch, said, “Africa is a dynamic market where digital transformation is accelerating. We will provide the foundation for a secure digital future in the African region and further expand our global security coverage.”
