ZeroTrusted.ai and CyberDiplomat.org Unite to Secure AI Governance in Africa’s Public Sector

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ZeroTrusted.ai and CyberDiplomat.org Unite to Secure AI Governance in Africa’s Public Sector

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes national security and government services, two industry leaders have joined forces to help African governments adopt trusted, zero-trust AI architectures. ZeroTrusted.ai, the world’s first zero-trust platform purpose-built for AI systems, has partnered with the Center for Cyber Diplomacy and Leadership (CCDL) and George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) to deliver advanced AI security, privacy, reliability, and ethics training across Africa.

“We’re honored to partner with CCDL to support African leaders in building secure, sovereign AI systems,” said Femi Fashakin, Co-Founder and CTO of ZeroTrusted.ai. “This goes beyond enabling AI access—it’s about ensuring these systems are transparent, resilient, and aligned with each nation’s strategic interests. Having grown up in Africa, I’ve seen how rapidly these countries embrace innovation. Our collaboration fills the critical gap of securing AI deployments end-to-end.”

Safeguarding Government AI: ZeroTrusted.ai’s Enterprise-Grade Platform

Originally designed for defense, intelligence, and healthcare, ZeroTrusted.ai delivers:

Inline AI Firewall to block data exfiltration and protect sensitive information
Agent & Model Monitoring for emerging protocols (MCP, A2A)
Air-gapped & Hybrid Cloud Support to maintain true data sovereignty
Deep Model Enumeration and Adversarial Behavior Detection to guarantee output integrity

Unlike generic AI security tools, ZeroTrusted.ai enables complete control over proprietary data, meeting the compliance needs of government agencies and national security operations.

CCDL & GWSB: Building Cyber Diplomacy for Africa

The Center for Cyber Diplomacy and Leadership (CCDL)—co-founded by Dr. Pape Cissé and Ambassador Omar Arouna—partners with GWSB to train African decision-makers on cybersecurity and AI governance:

Heads of State, Ministers & Ambassadors
Intelligence, Military & Law Enforcement Leaders
Private Sector & Academic Stakeholders

Through policy forums, tabletop exercises, and executive seminars, CCDL bridges the gap between technical AI capabilities and strategic national priorities, ensuring that AI deployments strengthen—not threaten—sovereignty and public trust.

Joint Programs & Expected Impact

This strategic alliance will deliver:

Secure AI Implementation Guides for government and defense systems
AI Ethics & Reliability Workshops for senior public-sector leaders
Technical Audits of LLMs and AI agents in African operations
Sovereign AI Strategy Development toolkits
Integrated Curriculum embedding ZeroTrusted.ai solutions into CCDL training

“Africa’s digital transformation hinges on secure AI governance,” said Dr. Pape Cissé, CCDL Co-Founder. “Our partnership with ZeroTrusted.ai empowers leaders with the tools to protect their citizens and institutions from AI-driven threats.”
