Nairobi, Kenya, August 21st, 2024 – Moringa School, Africa’s no.1 tech boot camp, has announced a strategic partnership with CompTIA to offer a Cyber Security Analyst Course (CySA+). The collaboration kicked off with an exclusive masterclass and networking event aimed at equipping cybersecurity professionals with the skills and knowledge to safeguard their organizations against emerging threats.
The event, themed “Future Proofing the Cyber Security Workforce,” was tailored to the needs of CTOs, CISOs, IT managers, educators, policymakers, and industry leaders. It focused on providing the tools and insights necessary to navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape. As cyber threats grow in sophistication, the need for a highly trained and agile workforce becomes paramount.
Participants in the masterclass gained actionable strategies to enhance the capabilities of their cyber security teams, ensuring they are prepared to face the challenges of tomorrow. The event also provided a valuable networking platform, fostering connections among top-tier professionals and organizations committed to advancing cyber resilience.
The masterclass featured Dr. Bright Gameli, a leading cybersecurity expert and member of Moringa’s Tech Advisory Board, who led an intensive session on “Building a Cyber Resilience Strategy: Technology, Skills, and Teams.” Dr. Gameli emphasized the importance of identifying and securing high-risk assets within organizations and highlighted the critical role of upskilling existing staff to close security loopholes.
Dr. Bright Gameli, Cybersecurity Expert and Training Lead at Crystal Intelligence, commented: “Cyber resilience is essential in today’s digital world. Organizations must prioritize asset risk identification to develop effective recovery plans. With the increasing demands for product security, data transparency, and intelligence sharing, it is crucial to address the current mismatch in roles. For instance, software developers often prioritize functionality over security, which needs to change. Upskilling the existing workforce is key to minimizing vulnerabilities and enhancing overall security.”
Nikki Germany, CEO of Moringa School, commented: “At Moringa, our vision extends beyond just preparing students for the future—we’re committed to equipping entire organizations with the expertise needed to thrive in a digital world. The growing cyber security skills gap presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

Clare Korir, Head of Product at Moringa School, added: “We’ve designed this Cyber Security Analyst course to meet the demands of today’s industry. The curriculum includes training on vulnerability management, intelligence and threat hunting and incident response, among other critical skills. By offering this comprehensive program, we aim to certify professionals who can lead their organizations in maintaining robust cyber security defenses.”
