Making strong security accessible to every Tanzanian organisation

Elifaster InfoSec is a Dodoma-based cybersecurity company offering monitoring, testing, consulting and training.

Our story

Elifaster InfoSec Company Ltd was founded by Elisha Mahenda, a network and information security engineer based at the University of Dodoma. Working with local businesses and institutions, he saw the same problem again and again: organisations were going digital fast, but professional security help was expensive, far away or out of reach.

Elifaster was built to close that gap. We bring the tools and methods used by large security firms (round-the-clock monitoring, penetration testing, incident response) and deliver them at a scale and price that works for Tanzanian organisations.

Alongside our services, Elifaster Academy trains staff, students and IT professionals, and the Elifaster Information Security Foundation supports cybersecurity awareness in the wider community.
