Google Cloud recognizes Deimos’ technical proficiency and proven success in security

Cape Town, 05/11/2022 — Deimos, the cloud technology and professional services company, today announced that it has achieved the first Google Cloud Security specializations in Africa. By earning the Security specialization, Deimos has proven its expertise and success in building customer security solutions using Google Cloud technology.

Partners with this specialization have demonstrated significant success in securing customer infrastructure and workflows on Google Cloud.
