Cybersafe Foundation and Check Point Software Technologies are partnering up to help address the cybersecurity skills gap on the African continent.
Cybersafe Foundation reaches hundreds of African women interested in cybersecurity every year.
Check Point will train teachers and provide students with access to free training and industry recognised certifications.Cybercrime has been a staple of the digital world for ages and as more Africans come online every year, the attack surface increases and threat actors have more targets – often with a lower level of digital literacy than in the rest of the world.
For its part, Check Point will give Cybersafe Foundation students access to free training, industry recognised certifications and Cybersafe teachers will be trained by the firm. “Our partnership with Check Point will contribute immensely to our disruptive educational model by providing free quality cybersecurity training to the CyberGirls community”.
