Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>CyberGhana, an expert organisation in cyber-security education, research and consulting, says it is ready to provide hands-on training for the youth to help bridge the cyber-security skills gap in Ghana.<\/b><\/p>\n

To this end, it has organised a three-day training for 108 Senior High School (SHS) graduates in essential skills to help them to pursue courses in digital forensics, cybercrime investigation, malware analysis, penetration testing, and ethical hacking.<\/p>\n

Mr David Davor, the Director of Technology, CyberGhana, at the closing ceremony of the training, dubbed: \u201cCyber-Magnet Programme\u201d in Kumasi, said training the youth would propel them to build interests in the cyber space and pursue related courses in advanced studies.<\/p>\n

He said organizations today needed help to recruit the talents required to protect emerging technology and critical systems from cyber-security threats.<\/p>\n

The problem, however, has been that shortages of these cyber experts exist across board, hence the need for professionals with deep technical training to take on high-value roles like secure system design, tool development, and penetration testing to minimize the challenges.<\/p>\n

As of 2022, studies show that nearly four million cyber-security professionals were needed to occupy vacancies around the world.<\/p>\n

CyberGhana, Mr Davor said, was therefore poised to addressing the problem in Ghana through its ongoing cyber-security club project, cyber-internship programme, the National Cyber Champions Competition, and the newly launched Cyber Magnet Programme.<\/p>\n

Participants familiarized themselves with industry-approved tools for essential consulting services in penetration testing (hacking) and cybercrime investigations.<\/p>\n

They also carried out essential consulting services, cybercrime investigations, and web application testing, and used industry-approved tools to uncover vulnerabilities in IT systems.<\/p>\n

Again, master skills in developing remediation plans for clients and essential security risk documentation were discussed.<\/p>\n

Master Eugene Offin Ocran, a participant, was confident that the knowledge acquired would help him to chart a clear path in the technological space.<\/p>\n
