This picture takes us back to the beginning.
We quickly realised that Zambiaβs cybersecurity talent gap could not be closed with one small team. But something remarkable came out of this first Cyber Academy cohort.
From this group, we saw cybersecurity professionals emerge as CISOs, technology founders, SOC engineers, cybersecurity managers and IT auditors, now serving across banking, mining, manufacturing, telecommunications and other industries β contributing to Zambiaβs cybersecurity agenda.
But we knew we had to do more.
So, we launched the Cybersecurity Capture The Flag (CTF), bringing together over 70 participants, supported by Zambian companies and international partners who believed in the same mission: exposing young people to real-world cybersecurity challenges and showing them that cybersecurity is far more than cracking Wi-Fi passwords.
Still, the gap remained.
So we took cybersecurity awareness into colleges and universities, schools and communities, while also going into organisations to train boards, executives, management and staff, because cybersecurity is not only an IT problem. The human element remains one of the weakest links.
We continued building professional capacity through tailored training and strategic partnerships, including our PECB partnership, becoming Zambiaβs only PECB Silver Partner.
Looking back at this picture, we see more than interns.
We see where a movement began.
And we are still building.
