MobiBox and Vodacom South Africa have joined forces with Kaspersky to extend premium cybersecurity services to Vodacom users in Southern Africa. This strategic partnership leverages innovative payment solutions such as Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) and data-driven performance marketing to bring Kaspersky’s world-class digital protection to underserved markets, addressing the growing cybersecurity challenges in the region.
Bridging the Cybersecurity Gap in Africa
There were 50.8 million individuals using the internet in South Africa at the start of 2025, when online penetration stood at 78.9 percent. With this, the demand for accessible cybersecurity solutions is at an all-time high. However, traditional payment methods remain a barrier, leaving millions vulnerable to increasingly advanced cyber threats. This partnership aims to remove those barriers, providing a secure and easy way for users to protect their digital lives.

Kaspersky, a global leader in cybersecurity, offers a robust suite of protection tools, from threat detection to prevention and response, safeguarding individuals, businesses, and critical infrastructure. With a user-centric approach, Kaspersky’s solutions provide simple yet effective protection, enabling users to secure their devices, data, and privacy against the rising tide of cyber threats. Whether for individuals looking for peace of mind or enterprises seeking enhanced security, Kaspersky delivers reliable protection tailored to modern digital needs.
Unlocking New Markets with Seamless Payment Integration

With a network of over 30 payment providers, MobiBox simplifies the integration process, making it easier for premium brands and content providers to reach customers.
In this collaboration, MobiBox enables Kaspersky to tap into the South African market by offering a seamless subscription process through DCB, allowing users to access Kaspersky’s cybersecurity services directly via their mobile operators, bypassing traditional payment barriers.
“Cybersecurity is critical for the digital age, especially in the African continent, and we are proud to partner with a well-known company such as Kaspersky, which puts high focus on offering security services in this continent, and Vodacom South Africa which is a telecom leader, to provide a solution that is both secure and accessible.”
