Hands-On Hacking Defense! 🛡️ Cyber Ascend Africa Class Recap.

​What an awesome time with our future cyber defenders last week! The energy in the room was electric as we tackled Defense Technology and Controls. It wasn't just a lecture, it was a full-on practical workshop!

​BIG TAKEAWAYS:

​We learned how Firewalls and IPS/IDS act as the digital bouncers for our networks.
​We mastered data protection with Encryption and Endpoint Protection.

​The Best Part? Everyone got their hands dirty! Our speaker showed the students, step-by-step, how to lock down their own systems:
​Setting up robust Firewall rules to keep the bad guys out.

​Blocking USB ports to stop data theft and virus spread!
