In a bid to sustain technology growth in Nigeria, Audax Solutions is organizing its annual Summer Code School training for primary and secondary students aged 6 – 19 years in Lagos.

The training which is in two batches commences from August 3rd – 28th August and 31st August – 25th September in 2015.

Code School is an initiative of Audax Solutions to provide in-depth introduction to computer programming skills based on the fundamentals of web and mobile apps development.  

The Audax Code School was launched in 2013 to bridge the opportunity divide between African children and their age mates around the world through high quality Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.

Participants will learn how to create animations, build programing blocks with Scratch, as well as HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (cascading Style Sheets) which are core technologies for building web pages.

The program won the Google Rise Awards in 2014 for promoting computer science education amongst underserved students in Nigeria.

In an interview with Emeka Onyenwe, chief executive officer, Audax Solutions, he said “Our method of teaching inspires creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving which translates visually. We encourage programming classes for students to help them realize they can change and empower the society, access connections to the Google Rise Community and also get certificates from Google when they successfully complete the Scratch Course”.

Onyenwe added that Audax plans to train 100 – 500 students during the one-month Code Camp, raise funds from the public, private organizations and individuals to offer scholarships to public schools, orphanages and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like the Lindy’ Gems Foundation, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN), Lagos state Motherless babies Home,

The Arrow of God Orphanage and Gbara Community College in Lekki. There is an automatic offer and opportunity for another student to learn for free, every time one student pays for the Code School training, he explained.  

Furthermore, Audax code School has over the years, developed partnerships with experienced trainers who are capable of teaching relatively complex concepts and handling groups of school-aged children while providing one-on-one focus and attention.

The Code Club also provides fun, creativity and learning through exploring with the understanding that computers are tools you can make do what you want, and not the other way around.    

Audax Solution Limited is an accredited training, assessment, e-learning solutions company with a 150 seating state-of-the-art training facility to meet all training needs.

Audax recently developed an e-learning software called StudyNET (Africa’s e-learning marketplace) to promote and encourage learning from anywhere in the world.

Cybervergent’s Q1 2024 Report Reveals Rising Threat of Remcos RAT Malware in Financial Sector

Published

Kindly share this post

Cybervergent, a foremost technology company providing automated cybersecurity solutions, in its Quarterly Brief has revealed a troubling trend in the financial sector that shows a spike in attacks utilising the deceptive Remote Control and Surveillance Access Trojan (Remcos RAT) in Q1, 2024.

The findings affirm a stark forewarning to the financial institutions and organisations in the African continent, urging heightened vigilance and proactive measures to mitigate potential escalating risks.

Previously marketed as a legitimate software, Remcos got co-opted by malicious actors and is now a prevalent tool in cybercrime campaigns. This remote access tool grants attackers hidden entry into victims’ devices, allowing them to seize control, pilfer sensitive data, and even introduce stealth backdoors to compromise entire systems. The capabilities of Remcos are diverse and frightening, ranging from disabling vital security features like User Account Control (UAC) to covertly recording user activities.

“As vigilant cybersecurity gatekeepers, we have observed a significant surge in attacks leveraging the Remcos RAT malware,” said Gbolabo Awelewa, the Chief Solutions Officer, Cybervergent. “Financial institutions are particularly targeted due to the sensitive nature of their data and assets. Organisations must remain diligent and adopt proactive monitoring measures to safeguard against such threats.”

The proactive approach adopted by Cybervergent’s Cyber Operations Centre involves meticulous analysis of attacker tactics, constant updating of threat intelligence, and implementing robust endpoint security solutions. These measures are designed to detect, prevent, and neutralise Remote Access Trojans like Remcos, ensuring the continued security and compliance of organisations in the face of evolving cyber threats.

“Our mission is to fortify our clients’ defenses and ensure the seamless operation of their organisations,” added Gbolabo. “By staying ahead of emerging attack vectors and vulnerabilities, we empower businesses to take proactive measures and protect their valuable assets.”

Looking ahead, Adetokunbo Omotosho, Chief Executive Officer of Cybervergent emphasised the firm’s focus on empowering organisations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and compliance with dexterity and confidence.

“Cybervergent’s Assurance and Compliance Team has demonstrated unparalleled leadership in the cybersecurity domain, achieving significant milestones and delivering transformative solutions. Our journey through Q1 reflects a deep commitment to advancing the state of cybersecurity compliance, paving the way for a secure and resilient digital future for organisations in Africa and across the world”, he added.
