NAIROBI, Kenya- In a strategic move to combat rising cyber threats, Adili Group has launched its Cyber Training Arena in Nairobi—a cutting-edge facility designed to equip African businesses with essential digital security skills.
The center offers over 130 training programs tailored to simulate real-world cyberattacks and empower organizations to defend against ever-evolving cybersecurity risks.
This investment in hands-on learning aims to fortify the continent’s defenses against threats like phishing, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), which are increasingly targeting both public and private sectors.
The heart of Adili Group’s new training center is its state-of-the-art simulation technology, enabling participants to experience cyberattacks in a controlled environment.
These simulations, developed in partnership with global cybersecurity experts, allow companies to test their defenses in a way that feels close to reality.
Chris Diaz, Chairman of Adili Group, emphasized the significance of this hands-on approach, stating, “This launch reflects Adili Group’s commitment to empowering African businesses with the tools to build strong cyber defenses, ensuring resilience and continuity in today’s digital economy.”
For organizations facing the constant threat of data breaches, these realistic training exercises offer an invaluable opportunity to stress-test their defenses.
According to a recent report from the Communications Authority of Kenya, cyberattacks in Kenya alone have surged by 16.5pc, with 1.1 billion incidents recorded between April and June 2024.
Recognizing that cybersecurity needs vary across industries, Adili Group has structured its training programs to be highly customizable.
Sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government can choose targeted modules relevant to their unique challenges.
The programs address both technical teams responsible for defense protocols and executive leaders who need to understand cybersecurity strategy.
This comprehensive approach allows organizations to build holistic defenses that align with their specific vulnerabilities and operational requirements.
In the healthcare sector, for example, where sensitive data is a prime target, cybersecurity training can be the difference between protection and a costly breach.
Similarly, in finance, where cyberattacks can compromise financial integrity, Adili’s customizable programs are tailored to help businesses stay proactive and resilient.
As Africa’s digital landscape grows, so too do cyber threats, and Adili Group’s Cyber Training Arena is a timely response.
With many organizations striving to secure their digital assets, the arena represents a proactive step toward mitigating risks, raising awareness, and promoting a cybersecurity culture in Kenya and beyond.
As businesses from diverse sectors take advantage of these immersive training programs, they not only bolster their own defenses but also contribute to a broader, more secure digital ecosystem in Africa.
