Project Stormwing

The Premier African-led AI Cybersecurity Initiative

Several countries are now restricting access to their AI cybersecurity models. Cyberstorm.mu, University of Mauritius, University of Technology (Mauritius), and 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](mailto: team@cyberstorm.mu)

One of our first objectives is to discover and responsibly disclose security vulnerabilities in open source software that we we use in Africa.
