An Initiative for
Cyber Talent Development
ABOUT DIGITAL SECUERITY VILLAGE.
Digital Security Village is a Cyber Talent Development initiative
providing emerging cyber talents with the required skills for
personal, corporate, and societal protection. This we plan to
achieve through bootcamps, masterclasses, workshops, online
training, webinars and more.
We observed that most cybersecurity communities conduct
internships and lengthy pieces of training, which are occasionally
too in-depth for participants to absorb within the allotted time.
Hence, we came up with short Bootcamp series that concentrate on
specific cybersecurity domain areas so that participants may
develop a skill at a time. As a result, the Bootcamp series will
address various capabilities within a diversified cybersecurity
domain
Our target ordinance is cybersecurity enthusiasts, cybersecurity
students, entry-level security specialists and those transitioning
into cyber from other fields.
Vision
To be at the cutting edge of cyber talent development in Africa and beyond.
Mission
To address the cybersecurity skill gap in Africa and beyond by providing emerging cyber talent with the cybersecurity skills required for personal, business, and national security.
Our Initiatives
