Trevor Murimba, a Cape Town-based cybersecurity expert, founded MyBitSecure to help African farms improve efficiency and security through accessible digital tools. His solutions connect farms, protect sensitive data, and optimize crop monitoring and daily operations.
Founded in 2023, MyBitSecure supports farmers and agribusinesses with tools that boost productivity, secure sensitive information, and simplify decision-making. The company positions itself as a bridge between agriculture and technology, seeking to build more organized, profitable, and resilient farms.
The tools address practical needs: monitoring fields, managing connected equipment, safeguarding data, and training users to integrate technology into agricultural production. Each solution aims to make farm operations more precise, predictable, and less vulnerable to human error, internal incidents, or cyberattacks.
MyBitSecure enables farmers to track activities on their land, anticipate problems, and manage resources efficiently. Users gain centralized visibility, better protection of strategic information, and reliable data to guide investment, harvest planning, and operational adjustments.

Murimba began his professional career in 2002 at Prean Computers in Zimbabwe as an IT technician. He later held cybersecurity roles at companies including Engen, a South African energy firm, and Old Mutual Ltd, a pan-African financial services provider.
