San Jose, California, June 2026 – Wazuh, the leading open-source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution, announced a partnership with E Defence, a cybersecurity and software engineering provider serving organizations across West Africa and the UEMOA region.
Through this partnership, E Defence will utilize Wazuh as the central platform underpinning its Security Operations Center (SOC). By integrating Wazuh into its operations, E Defence strengthens its managed security capabilities through centralized log collection and security event analysis, real-time threat detection and alerting, file integrity monitoring (FIM), vulnerability detection, and continuous security configuration assessment. The platform also supports compliance monitoring aligned with frameworks such as PCI-DSS and ISO 27001, while enabling rapid incident detection to enhance the company’s forensic investigation and incident response services.
E Defence delivers end-to-end cybersecurity services, including security advisory, digital forensics, security audits, compliance, data protection, and specialized training. Through its Security Operations Centers powered by the Wazuh open-source platform, the company provides real-time threat detection and monitoring while supporting compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and CIL Burkina Faso. E Defence also offers tailored software engineering, AI-driven solutions, business intelligence, and professional certification programs through its Cyber Academy.
Lassané Nacoulma, Founder & Manager at E DEFENCE, said: “We chose Wazuh because it enables us to deliver enterprise-grade security monitoring at a cost that organizations across West Africa can afford. For too long, advanced cybersecurity solutions have remained out of reach for many SMEs, financial institutions, and public sector organizations in our region. Wazuh’s open-source platform helps bridge that gap. By becoming a Wazuh partner, we can bring world-class threat detection and security monitoring capabilities to organizations in Burkina Faso and across the UEMOA region, advancing the mission on which E Defence was founded.”
Alberto González, COO at Wazuh, replied: “E Defence’s commitment to making advanced cybersecurity more accessible aligns closely with Wazuh’s open-source philosophy. We are pleased to support their efforts to strengthen security operations and threat detection capabilities for organizations throughout Burkina Faso and the broader UEMOA region.”
