About Cyber PolCo

Our story

Cyber PolCo started in 2024 as a cybersecurity company based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and we're now growing into Namibia too. Léon Atunakou and Faustin Kupasula co-founded the company with the goal of strengthening digital security across Africa. We build cybersecurity solutions that protect organisations from real, changing threats, and we put real effort into raising awareness and training the next generation of professionals, through programs for everyone from young students to enterprise teams.

"Your security is your first concern, fortunately we've made it ours."

His academic background, paired with real industry experience, including an internship at United Africa Group, gives him the expertise he now applies to leading Cyber PolCo's technology strategy.
