Huntress Expands into Africa with New QBS Software Africa Partnership
Brief
Huntress is expanding into Africa through a new distribution partnership with QBS Software Africa, the company announced today. The move marks the latest step in Huntress’ international growth as organised, AI-enabled cybercrime continues to rise worldwide.
The expansion comes as Africa faces a mounting cybersecurity crisis. According to INTERPOL’s 2026 African Cyberthreat Assessment , artificial intelligence is now linked to 55% of reported cybercrime across the continent, with direct economic damages surpassing $5 billion. Attackers are increasingly using AI to scale established tactics against under-resourced organisations, exploiting gaps in security coverage.
Under the new agreement, local value-added resellers and managed service providers will gain access to the Huntress Agentic Security Platform and its 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center.
