A national government in Africa faced a critical challenge: protecting sensitive data and infrastructure from cyberattacks and espionage. Traditional networks left too many vulnerabilities exposed. The stakes were high, with national security and operational continuity on the line. Gorilla Technology delivered a fully air-gapped, secure communications network that now connects over 31,000 government branches. With physical isolation, advanced encryption, and robust monitoring, the solution ensures mission-critical services remain protected and always operational.

The Challenge
01
Cyber Threats Targeting National Infrastructure
The government needed to shield its most sensitive systems from cyberattacks, data breaches, and foreign espionage. Traditional wired networks, while convenient, were too exposed to external threats. A more secure, isolated approach was essential.
02
The Need for Total Isolation and Control
To protect critical operations, the government required a network that was physically separated from the internet and other external systems. It had to be secure, scalable, and capable of supporting thousands of branches without compromising performance or control.

Our Solution
Air-Gapped by Design
Gorilla Technology designed and built a secure communications network from the ground up. The architecture was centered on air-gapped principles, ensuring complete physical isolation from external networks. This eliminated common attack vectors and created a secure foundation for national operations.
End-to-End Security Infrastructure
The solution included a full suite of secure services. These ranged from encrypted VoIP calls and secure email to document management systems and hardened end-user devices. Gorilla also implemented a state-of-the-art Security Operations Center (SOC) and robust monitoring tools to detect and respond to any threats in real time.
Global Expertise, Local Execution
An international team from Taiwan, India, the UK, the USA, and Egypt collaborated to deliver the project. Gorilla followed a full lifecycle approach: design, build, operate, and transfer. This ensured long-term sustainability and knowledge transfer to local teams.
