Cybastion has opened a Cisco-backed cybersecurity centre in Abidjan to help organisations in West and Central Africa detect and respond to attacks and to train more cybersecurity specialists.
Cybastion will operate the facility. It includes a security operations centre to watch for threats and a dedicated team to investigate incidents. The centre will also offer training and technology demonstrations.
The wider Africa DigiEmpower programme, which involves Cisco, Cybastion and the Ivorian government, aims to train 200,000 young people and women across 10 regions in cybersecurity, networking and AI by 2030. That figure is the programme’s target.
