Salama Fikira and YAVA Launch Strategic Partnership to Deliver Integrated Infrastructure Resilience and Security Solutions Across Complex Markets
London, United Kingdom – 16 May 2026 — Salama Fikira Group today announced a strategic partnership with YAVA, the London-based infrastructure resilience and operational intelligence company, to jointly deliver integrated cyber, infrastructure, operational security, and deployment capabilities across high-risk and rapidly evolving global markets. The partnership reflects growing international demand for resilience solutions that combine physical security, operational continuity, cyber capability, logistics support, and infrastructure intelligence into a unified delivery model. The collaboration was highlighted in YAVA’s April 2026 Monthly Report, which examined the increasing convergence of infrastructure security, operational resilience, and risk intelligence. Under the agreement, Salama Fikira will introduce YAVA’s cyber, systems audit, operational intelligence, and infrastructure assessment capabilities into client environments requiring advanced technical resilience solutions. In parallel, YAVA will support the introduction of Salama Fikira’s operational security, logistics, transport, and field deployment capabilities into markets where clients require trusted on-the-ground operational support. The partnership is designed to strengthen client outcomes across sectors including critical infrastructure, energy, logistics, aviation, technology infrastructure, and complex operating environments where digital and physical resilience increasingly overlap. “Today’s infrastructure threats are interconnected,” said Bruce Lyman CEO of Salama Fikira Group. “Clients are no longer looking for isolated security or technology solutions. They require integrated operational capability that combines intelligence, cyber resilience, logistics, infrastructure understanding, and execution in the field. Our partnership with YAVA creates exactly that capability and positions both organisations to support clients operating in some of the world’s most demanding environments.” The strategic alliance will focus on: Operational security and protective services Cyber and systems audits Infrastructure resilience assessments Logistics and transport support Technical deployments in higher-risk regions Multi-region operational support for shared clients According to YAVA infrastructure risk is becoming increasingly operational, with resilience depending on coordinated systems capable of functioning under pressure rather than standalone advisory frameworks alone. Organisations increasingly require trusted partnerships able to assess risk, mobilise capability rapidly, and support implementation directly on the ground. YAVA founder Harry Geisler said: “Resilience is no longer delivered through siloed services. Organisations increasingly need coordinated partners who can combine operational intelligence, infrastructure understanding, technical capability, and deployment execution into one trusted delivery framework. Our partnership with Salama Fikira significantly strengthens our ability to support clients operating across complex and high-pressure environments.” The partnership also creates long-term commercial alignment between the firms, enabling both companies to participate in the long-term value and continuity of client relationships while supporting scalable delivery across expanding international markets. Salama Fikira brings extensive operational experience across Africa and other operating regions, including maritime security, infrastructure support, logistics, government engagement, and operational deployment capabilities. YAVA contributes expertise in infrastructure resilience, cyber risk intelligence, systems auditing, engineering integration, and operational technology support. Both companies believe the partnership reflects a broader shift in global infrastructure markets, where resilience, continuity, and operational visibility are increasingly becoming strategic and commercial priorities rather than purely security considerations.
