Inveteck Global expands cybersecurity training amid rising threats in Ghana’s digital economy
As Ghana’s digital infrastructure rapidly expands, the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals has become increasingly urgent. In response, Inveteck Global, a cybersecurity firm licensed by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), is intensifying its training programs to address the growing demand for expertise in this critical field. With Ghana’s businesses reporting direct financial losses of GH¢49.5 million due to cyber fraud activities between January and June last year, the necessity for enhanced cybersecurity measures is clear.
Emmanuel Haizel, Director of Training at Inveteck Global, emphasized the company’s commitment to empowering organizations and individuals to stay ahead in cybersecurity. “I am always excited to deliver impactful training at Inveteck Global, making the field accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” he stated.
Inveteck Global’s comprehensive, hands-on cybersecurity courses have already trained close to 400 professionals in Ghana in the past year alone. The company’s reputation has also extended beyond Ghana’s borders, attracting government officials and professionals from countries such as India, Nigeria, and the United States. Over the past two years, Inveteck Global has trained nearly 1,500 individuals in India and 100 from Nigeria and the US, reflecting its growing international influence.
The curriculum at Inveteck Global is designed with a strong emphasis on practical application, incorporating current technologies and methodologies. Courses cover a wide range of topics, from foundational cybersecurity concepts to advanced areas like ethical hacking, with a reported 95 percent practical component. This focus on real-world skills is particularly crucial as Ghana’s cybersecurity market is projected to grow by 15 percent annually over the next five years.
Former students have reported significant career advancements following their training at Inveteck Global. Grady Davis, an engineer who transitioned into cybersecurity, praised the comprehensive nature of the training: “As a mechanical engineer with no prior knowledge in the cyber realm, I was blown away by the depth of the program, which covered both fundamental and advanced cybersecurity topics.”
Similarly, Godfred Quansah, now a Cybersecurity Engineer, highlighted the value of the ethical hacking course: “Inveteck Global’s ethical hacking course is the best in Ghana, entirely practical, and taught by instructors with deep expertise.”
Bernice A. Dulemordzi, a Penetration Tester, noted the ongoing support provided by the company: “Inveteck Global is your best bet for quality cybersecurity training in Ghana. Their 100 percent practical approach extends beyond the classroom, helping students achieve success in the field.”
William Boateng, now working as a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst for a leading bank in Ghana, shared how the hands-on labs and real-world case studies at Inveteck Global equipped him with the necessary skills to excel in his career.
As cyber threats continue to evolve alongside Ghana’s digital economy, Inveteck Global’s proactive approach to training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals will be vital in safeguarding the nation’s digital assets and ensuring a secure future.
