Bizoneer Consulting (Rwanda) Africa Ltd

Cyber security services for banks, government and insurers

Based in Rwanda, Bizoneer Consulting (Rwanda) Africa Ltd describes its trade as information technology and related services, with cyber defence at the centre. It describes itself as providing custom-driven integrated solutions, and names its clients as lenders and public bodies: banks, government agencies, insurers and microfinance lenders. The company's central theme is that information is the key asset of any organisation, and that its security has to be built into every system an organisation uses.

Testing the weaknesses before attackers do

The first service the company lists is security assessment and testing. Bizoneer checks web, mobile and network systems for vulnerabilities, reviews the controls that are supposed to protect them, and validates whether they work in practice. Each assessment ends with prioritised remediation planning, so a client knows which weaknesses to fix first. The company asks whether existing security controls work in the real world, and this service is designed to answer that question with evidence.

Malware analysis and forensic investigation

Bizoneer also analyses unknown files to reveal malicious behaviour, so that suspicious content can be neutralised safely. Alongside this work sits cyber forensics, the investigation of what happened after a security incident, which helps a client understand how an intrusion occurred and what was affected. The company presents both services as part of a wider response to threats that do not announce themselves.

Network protection and access control

Its network security offering focuses on keeping unauthorised users out of a client's systems while leaving the network usable for legitimate staff. The company lists related products such as network access control and a web application firewall, which the company describes as part of its solutions range. The company argues that such protection is essential in modern networks, where the perimeter is no longer a single office.

Training people as the first line of defence

The company says the weakest link in most security chains is the people who use it. Its training courses are offered to individuals and to IT teams and cover the latest tools and techniques in the cyber security field. Cisco certification courses are included for professionals who work on Cisco-based enterprise networks across the world, and the company presents the training as the practical counterpart to its technical services.

Under vehicle scanning for secure sites

Bizoneer also supplies an intelligent under vehicle scanner. The system inspects vehicles and their occupants as they enter a secure facility, looking for material that could cause loss of life or damage to property. The company says a secure site needs layered technologies at its gates, and that the scanner is one layer alongside its network and information security work.
