An offensive cybersecurity specialist (also known as a penetration tester) is a professional who identifies and exploits vulnerabilities in systems — not to harm, but to help organizations fix weaknesses before real attackers find them. They play a key role across both cybersecurity and IT teams.

Offensive Cybersecurity Is One of the Most In-Demand Tech Careers

Urgent demand for skilled experts
By 2025, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions worldwide. According to the World Economic Forum, only 14% of organizations have enough qualified staff. In Africa, cyberattacks already cause billions in damage — and the need for experts is growing rapidly.
By training as an offensive cybersecurity specialist, you unlock multiple high-demand career paths — from system testing and defense to secure product development and security leadership.
Top graduates of this program receive guaranteed job offers on national infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe and are included in the national cybersecurity talent pool for future high-priority roles.
