Red Shielders Africa (RSA) has launched the fourth edition of the RSA Buea Mini Cybersecurity Bootcamp. The aim is to equip young people with the skills to protect themselves and their communities from growing digital threats.
Scheduled for April 26, 2025, in Buea, the event will offer hands-on training, expert-led talks, and real-world hacking simulations designed to raise awareness and build practical skills in cybersecurity.
A Hands-On Cybersecurity Bootcamp Like No Other
At the RSA Buea Mini Cybersecurity Bootcamp, participants won’t just sit and listen; they’ll learn by doing. From dissecting fake social media accounts to hunting down phishing attacks using OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques, every session is designed to simulate real-life cybercrime scenarios.
The highlight of the event will be a mini Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge, where attendees will face a series of live hacking simulations that mirror real-world cyber threats.
Focused on reconnaissance and information gathering, this will be an opportunity for participants to get their hands dirty in a safe, controlled environment.
