Project Stormwing

The Premier African-led AI Cybersecurity initiative

Several countries are now restricting access to their AI cybersecurity models. Cyberstorm.mu, the University of Mauritius, the University of Technology, Mauritius, and l'Université des Mascareignes are the founding members of Project Stormwing, which aims to develop African AI cybersecurity capabilities for defensive use. We believe that Africa needs its own sovereign AI cybersecurity model to defend its own infrastructure in Africa. Join us by sending an email to team@cyberstorm.mu.
