Liquid C2

What Liquid C2 does

Liquid C2 is the cloud and cybersecurity business unit of Cassava Technologies, a pan-African technology group, operating across more than 35 countries in the Middle East and Africa. The company delivers multi-cloud services across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud alongside managed cybersecurity under its Secure360 framework (covering Governance Risk and Compliance, Cyber Threat Assurance, Cyber Defence Services, and Cyber Security Solutions) and unified communications through the OneVoice suite, which includes Calling, Cloud PBX, Operator Connect, Call Recording, and Cloud Contact Centre. Its proprietary technology assets include the Liquid Edge Platform for distributed workloads across Africa's fibre footprint, the Liquid G AI-powered Google Cloud distribution programme, and integration of frontier AI capabilities (Anthropic's Claude models via Google Cloud Vertex AI, CyberCoach security awareness training) for enterprise customers.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales for large customers with the Cloudmania channel distribution business unit that serves resellers across 35+ countries with multi-cloud procurement and local-currency billing. Revenue is generated through subscription/recurring cloud and voice services, managed security services, professional services (deployment, migration, AWS Well-Architected reviews, Titanium Cloud Management), and channel distribution commissions. Customers span enterprise organizations, SMEs, government and public sector entities, and channel partners, with the company reporting that more than 80% of the largest businesses in 31+ African countries rely on Liquid technologies.

Liquid C2 was established in 2021 and expanded materially through the March 2023 acquisition and rebranding of Cysiv MEA (formerly SecureMisr), positioning Egypt as its MENA hub. The company benefits from being embedded within Cassava Technologies' broader infrastructure assets, including ~100,000km of fibre across 11 African countries (operated by sister company Liquid Intelligent Technologies), Africa Data Centres, and a flagship partner portfolio spanning Microsoft (Advanced Specialisation in Networking Services), AWS (Advanced Partner, 60+ AWS-accredited individuals), Google Cloud (gold-level Verified Peering Provider), Cloudflare, Anthropic, AvePoint, CyberCoach, and Boston IT Solutions.
