Wild Fusion Digital Centre launches certified ethical hacking course to battle Nigeria’s cybersecurity talent gap

Wild Fusion Digital Centre (WDC), Nigeria’s leading provider of in-person, practical Digital Marketing and tech training, has officially launched its advanced Cybersecurity: Ethical Hacking course.

This strategic expansion is designed to meet the urgent, skyrocketing demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals in Nigeria and across Africa, offering certified, hands-on training right in Lagos.

Bridging the Talent Gap with Global Certification (EC-Council)

The launch of the Ethical Hacking training program is powered by WDC’s landmark partnership with EC-Council, a globally recognized leader in cybersecurity certification.

This collaboration ensures that students and corporate teams in Nigeria can now access globally in-demand, industry-standard credentials without leaving the country.

WDC’s Cybersecurity Certification Programs include:

  • Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH): The gold standard for penetration testing and ethical hacking skills.
  • Certified SOC Analyst (CSA): Training to defend against and respond to real-time cyber threats.
  • Blockchain Finance Certification (BFC):Future-proofing skills in the secure and transparent world of decentralized finance.

The Critical Need for In-Person, Practical Cybersecurity Training

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption accelerates across Nigerian industries, the complexity and frequency of cyberattacks are soaring.

The Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) notes a persistent lack of trained experts, a gap WDC is committed to closing.

Globally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a massive 33% growth in cybersecurity jobs from 2023 to 2033, confirming the field as a high-growth career path.

A Pipeline for Global Talent and Partnerships

The launch of the Ethical Hacking course complements WDC’s existing roster of market-leading, in-person certification programs, including Digital Marketing, Growth Marketing, and Data Analytics.

This broad offering makes Wild Fusion Digital Centre an essential resource for:

 Prospective Students:

Future cybersecurity professionals now have a clear path to obtaining globally recognized certifications and securing high-demand roles as Ethical Hackers, Security Analysts, and IT Security Consultants.

 Corporate Clients:

Businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies seeking reliable, practical cybersecurity training for their staff can ensure their teams are equipped with the latest defense and offense strategies.
