Zambia's Copper Belt Needs Cyber Defenders

Cybersecurity Training in Lusaka

Protecting Zambia's Mining, Banking, and Mobile Money Ecosystem

Zambia is one of Southern Africa's fastest-growing digital economies, powered by copper exports, a rapidly expanding mobile money sector, and an ambitious national digitalisation agenda. As Lusaka grows into a regional technology hub — anchored by the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) and a thriving startup ecosystem — the demand for certified cybersecurity professionals has never been higher. Mlinzi Cyber delivers practical, certification-ready training that equips Zambian talent to protect the country's critical infrastructure, financial systems, and government services.

Why Lusaka Needs Cybersecurity Talent Now

  • Zambia's Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act (2021) created binding obligations for organisations and individuals, driving urgent demand for compliance-ready security professionals
  • The Bank of Zambia's National Financial Inclusion Strategy is accelerating mobile banking adoption — MTN MoMo and Airtel Money serve over 8 million subscribers, making financial cybersecurity a top priority
  • Zambia's Copperbelt mining operations rely on Industrial Control Systems (ICS/SCADA) that are increasingly targeted by state-sponsored and criminal threat actors
  • ZICTA's National Cybersecurity Policy 2022–2026 explicitly targets the development of a certified cybersecurity workforce as a national strategic priority
  • Lusaka's growing fintech ecosystem — including Zoona, Zazu, and Union54 — is creating demand for application security, API protection, and DevSecOps skills
"I was a network administrator in Lusaka with no formal security qualifications. Mlinzi Cyber's hands-on labs and structured learning path gave me the skills to pass CompTIA Security+ and move into a security engineer role at one of Zambia's leading banks. The platform is practical, affordable, and genuinely relevant to the Zambian market."
