EOCon (EyesOpen Cybersecurity Conference) is a meeting of enthusiasts of digital technologies in general and cyber security in particular.

This year 2021, Seven Advanced Academy cyber security students participated in EOCon CTF.

What is a CTF?

CTF or Capture-the-Flag events are computer security competitions. Participants compete in security-themed challenges for the purpose of obtaining the highest score. Competitors are expected to “capture flags” to increase their score, hence the name of the event. Flags are usually random strings embedded in the challenges.

The EOCon CTF 2021 welcomed teams across the globe. One of those teams was “Seventh2” from Seven Advanced Academy.

This young team, only six months into their CEH certification training gathered a total of 880 points featuring them in the top 10.

Our CEO, Mme Estelle Yomba had this to say...

“I applaud EOCon. Competitions like these help develop the essential skills required to follow a career path in cybersecurity like testing the security of a website, infiltrating servers, cryptography, cracking passwords, conducting a network investigation, risk assessment and much more. After months in the lab training, I have been looking forward to seeing how our students will compete at an international level with other students and even professionals with years of

experience in cyber security.”

How Different Is Our Cyber Security Program?

It is no longer news that Seven Advanced Academy is a partner of EC-Council - the global leader in InfoSec Cyber Security certification programs like Certified Ethical Hacker.

To give our students the best path to success, we have customized our cyber security training as follows:

• One month: Networking Fundamentals
• Two Months: Certified Network Defender Curriculum
• Three Months: Certified Ethical Hacker

This is important because every successful ethical hacker needs a good foundation in networking.
