Resilience Launches to Redefine Cybersecurity Distribution and Services in Africa

Johannesburg, 01 September 2025 – Resilience, a boutique cybersecurity distributor and services provider, has officially launched with a mission to empower Africa’s cybersecurity future through people-first values, deep technical expertise, and a select portfolio of complementary global technologies.

Co-founded by Toni Bowker and Simon Perry, Resilience brings together proven leadership and one of the most senior technical teams in the industry. Alongside the founders, senior technical leaders Hennie Marais and Jason Duncan add decades of expertise and leadership across cybersecurity operations, cloud, and advisory.

Together, this team provides the depth and perspective needed to deliver outcomes that go far beyond traditional distribution.

Resilience takes a selective, boutique approach – representing only global vendors whose complementary technologies strengthen one another. This intentional model ensures partners and customers are empowered with solutions that fit together seamlessly and deliver meaningful outcomes.

“Our vision is to empower Africa’s cybersecurity future by putting people at the center and enabling trust,” said Toni Bowker, Co-Founder & Chief Visionary Officer.

“Resilience is not about distributing every technology – it’s about selecting the complementary ones that truly fit together and deliver outcomes.”

“Our role is not just to distribute technologies, but to ensure they deliver results,” added Simon Perry, Co-Founder & Chief Technical Evangelist. “By focusing on a select, complementary portfolio backed by deep technical expertise, we help organisations turn cybersecurity investments into lasting business resilience.”

With its unique combination of selective vendor partnerships, senior technical expertise, and people-first values, Resilience is set to build a trusted ecosystem that strengthens Africa’s digital future.
