ACCRA, GHANA – The Ghana Domain Name Registry (GDNR), in collaboration with DoubleOsec and the Ghana Internet Governance Forum (Ghana IGF), has officially concluded the first two cohorts of the National Training Programme on Digital Platforms and Domain Trust Security Operations and Management. Held at the National Communications Authority (NCA) Conference Room in Accra, the intensive 4-day programmes were organized with the support of the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI).
Equipping Public Sector Leaders for Cyber Resilience
The national initiative brought together public sector IT leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and technical staff to move beyond theoretical concepts into practical, high-impact cyber defense:
- Cohort 1: Delivered actionable toolkits for defending government platforms, mitigating cyber threats, and securing digital identities through immersive laboratory sessions and incident response simulations.
- Cohort 2: Deepened technical focus with advanced topics, including SIEM/XDR monitoring, live incident response simulations, cyber deception techniques, and AI-assisted defensive tools.
Strengthening National Digital Infrastructure
By shifting focus from traditional awareness to hands-on security operations, both cohorts provided participants with the skills needed to protect critical national digital infrastructure and build robust cyber resilience across their respective institutions.
GDNR extends its sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI) for its supporting role, as well as to co-hosts Double OSec and the Ghana IGF. Most importantly, GDNR commends all participants from across the public sector for their technical dedication and commitment to securing Ghana’s digital landscape.
