Inveteck Global Addresses Cybersecurity Skills Shortage
Inveteck Global, a cybersecurity firm licensed by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), is ramping up its training programs to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in Ghana’s rapidly digitalizing economy. With businesses in Ghana reporting direct financial losses of GH¢49.5 million due to cyber fraud between January and June last year, the need for trained cybersecurity experts has become more pressing as the nation’s digital infrastructure expands. This includes critical areas like online banking and e-governance, which are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Emmanuel Haizel, Director of Training at Inveteck Global, emphasized the company’s commitment to providing impactful training: “I am always excited to deliver impactful training at Inveteck Global, empowering organizations and individuals to stay ahead in cybersecurity while making the field accessible and enjoyable for everyone.”
Inveteck Global offers hands-on cybersecurity courses and comprehensive services, having trained nearly 400 professionals in Ghana last year alone. The company’s reputation has attracted attention beyond Ghana, with recent training cohorts including government officials from Ghana, India, Nigeria, and the United States. Over the past two years, Inveteck Global has trained approximately 1,500 individuals in India and 100 professionals from Nigeria and the U.S.
The firm’s curriculum emphasizes practical application, utilizing current technologies and methodologies. Their courses cover a broad spectrum, from foundational cybersecurity concepts to advanced topics like ethical hacking, with a 95% practical component in their training programs. As Ghana’s cybersecurity market is projected to grow by 15% annually over the next five years, Inveteck Global is well-positioned to expand its training and services further.
Former students have praised the effectiveness of Inveteck Global’s training. Grady Davis, an engineer who transitioned into cybersecurity, shared his experience: “As a mechanical engineer with no prior knowledge in the cyber realm, I took a leap of faith and enrolled in the cybersecurity course at Inveteck Global, taught by George Kuoribo, lead Cybersecurity Trainer. I was blown away by the comprehensive training, which covered both the fundamentals and advanced topics in cybersecurity.”
Similarly, Godfred Quansah, now a Cybersecurity Engineer, lauded the company’s ethical hacking course: “Inveteck Global’s ethical hacking course is the best in Ghana, and the best I have seen so far. It is entirely practical, and the instructors are well-resourced individuals with deep knowledge about cybersecurity and anything related to it.”
Bernice A. Dulemordzi, a Penetration Tester, highlighted the practicality of Inveteck Global’s training: “To get quality cybersecurity training in Ghana, Inveteck Global is your best bet. 100% of their training is practical, and one advantage is that they help you beyond the classroom.”
William Boateng, a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst, credited his career success to Inveteck Global: “Before joining Inveteck Global, I struggled to find a practical training program that met my needs. The hands-on labs and real-world case studies provided me with the skills I needed to excel in my career. Today, I work as a SOC Analyst for a leading bank in Ghana, and I owe it all to the top-notch training I received at Inveteck Global.”
Inveteck Global’s focus on practical, real-world training has made it a key player in addressing the cybersecurity skills gap in Ghana, helping to secure the nation’s digital future.
