I have been advised as follows:-
No, the Department does not have programmes in place to promote cybersecurity training as the Department does not gave a training mandate.
However, the Department identified a gap in cybersecurity skills in the country and at present, partnered with the Bank SETA and the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC) to develop a National Cybersecurity Skills Framework to guide the training of cybersecurity professionals by the relevant institutions.
