Advocacy and Policy Influence
CyberM8 is dedicated to actively shaping the national cybersecurity landscape by advocating for policies and frameworks that support a robust and inclusive digital ecosystem. We engage in policy discussions and provide recommendations to ensure that small and medium businesses are well-represented in cybersecurity legislation. Our advocacy efforts aim to foster an environment where emerging small cybersecurity service providers can thrive, contributing to a secure and competitive marketplace.
Skills Development and Empowerment
Through its flagship programme, NextGen Skills Bootcamps, CyberM8 equips individuals, including SMMEs, young people, and members of the broader community, with practical cybersecurity and digital skills. The bootcamps are designed to help participants adopt effective cybersecurity practices, strengthen their digital resilience, and play an active role in South Africa’s digital economy. This initiative supports the development of a skilled and secure society prepared for the demands of the digital age.
Public Awareness and Education
CyberM8 is committed to raising public awareness about cybersecurity risks and best practices. We develop practical toolkits and host public events focused on cybersecurity education, making vital information accessible to all. Our initiatives help individuals, organizations, and communities become proactive in safeguarding their digital lives. By increasing public knowledge and understanding, CyberM8 contributes to a more resilient, cybersecurity-conscious society.
