The #SS25HACK hackathon, which is concurrently held with the ITWeb Security Summit, is exerting significant pressure on the minds of young cybersecurity professionals and that is the primary objective.

The event provides students with real-world scenarios to solve, thereby enhancing their abilities in ethical hacking, network defense, and penetration testing, with the assistance of CompTIA.

The cybersecurity talent scarcity in Africa is being addressed by the establishment of high-stakes, high-value learning environments through events such as this.

It is not merely a matter of competition; it is also a matter of ensuring that Africa’s digital stewards are adequately equipped before threats surpass defenses.
