As Rwanda continues to embrace digital transformation across public and private sectors, the demand for robust cybersecurity solutions has never been greater. Recognizing this growing need, Codible Group Ltd, a Rwandan technology company, has officially launched a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity services aimed at helping organizations safeguard their digital assets, strengthen resilience, and comply with evolving security standards.
According to Chance Desire Iradukunda, the company’s founder, the decision to expand into cybersecurity was driven by the increasing number of organizations adopting digital technologies without implementing adequate security measures.
“Technology should not only drive innovation but also be secure,” the founder said, noting that while many organizations invest heavily in digital transformation, cybersecurity often becomes a priority only after a security incident has occurred.
Talking to Kigali Times, Chance said that Codible Group aims to bridge this gap by offering proactive, practical, and affordable cybersecurity services that help organizations identify vulnerabilities, strengthen their security posture, meet regulatory requirements, and build resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The company observes that Rwanda, like many countries accelerating digital adoption, is witnessing an increase in cyber threats affecting businesses of all sizes. Among the most common risks are phishing attacks, ransomware, weak password management, insider threats, unpatched software vulnerabilities, cloud security misconfigurations, and data breaches.
The founder noted that the expansion of cloud computing and remote working environments has further increased the attack surface for organizations. However, he emphasized that technology alone is not enough to protect businesses.
“Many cyber incidents begin with a phishing email or social engineering attack,” he explained, adding that “employee awareness, continuous monitoring, and well-defined security policies remain essential components of an effective cybersecurity strategy.”
One of the biggest misconceptions among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), according to Codible Group, is that cybersecurity is only necessary for large corporations.
The founder argues that SMEs are often more vulnerable because they typically have fewer security controls in place, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals.
He stressed that the financial impact of recovering from a cyberattack—including operational downtime, data loss, reputational damage, legal liabilities, and loss of customer trust—is often significantly higher than the cost of preventive security measures.
“Cybersecurity should be viewed as an investment rather than an expense, businesses should adopt measures such as vulnerability assessments, employee awareness training, secure backups, multi-factor authentication, and continuous security monitoring,” he said
Codible Group distinguishes itself by combining cybersecurity expertise with capabilities in software engineering, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and digital transformation. Rather than providing isolated security services, the company integrates security throughout every stage of an organization’s digital journey—from system design and development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Its newly launched cybersecurity portfolio includes; Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Security Operations Center (SOC) services, Information Security, Cloud Security, Network Security, Identity and Access Management, Incident Response and Digital Forensics, Security Testing, Compliance and Regulatory Advisory, Security Awareness Training and Cybersecurity Consulting
The company says its solutions are designed to be scalable, practical, and tailored to the specific needs of each client, with the objective of becoming a trusted long-term cybersecurity partner.
Looking ahead, Codible Group has ambitious plans to position itself among Africa’s leading technology and cybersecurity companies.
The founder believes Rwanda has established itself as a regional leader in digital innovation, but says sustainable digital growth depends on strong cybersecurity.
“Our goal extends beyond delivering cybersecurity services, We are committed to building local capacity by training young professionals, promoting cybersecurity awareness, and helping organizations adopt international best practices,“ he said
He added that the company ultimately seeks to contribute to a secure digital economy where businesses can innovate with confidence, public institutions can provide trusted digital services, and citizens can safely embrace technological advancements.
