Cyber security workshop holds in Abuja
Globally, there is the increasing need for professionals to ensure safety of the cyberspace, he said. A statement by the CSEAN president in Abuja said the group was planning to organise training for stakeholders in the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sub sector of the economy.
The training is expected to empower participants to combat cyber-crimes in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) including the private sector.
He stated that the scheduled three day capacity building would serve as the association's contribution to cyber security development in the nation.
According to him, the exercise would provide participants with basic skills to build knowledge and skills against cyber-attacks.
The statement read in part: "Through lecture, hands-on lab exercises, and group discussion, participants will gain a foundational perspective on the challenges of designing cyber security program, implementing secure systems, and other factors needed for a comprehensive cyber security solution."
The training "will cover all modules required to pass the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) internationally recognised Global Cyber Security Fundamental Certificate exams," he explained.
The capacity building is targeted at Information Communication Technology (ICT) opinion leaders who intend to develop business and IT strategies to defend networks and critical data.
