Cybersecurity Training & Ethical Hacking Courses

Cybersecurity training in Kenya: security awareness for staff, phishing simulation, and hands-on ethical hacking courses on HackYard, our live cyber range.

Security awareness for every employee and hands-on ethical hacking for your technical teams, taught by the people who run real penetration tests and a live cyber range.

Most breaches in Kenya start with a person: a convincing phishing email, a reused password, a fraudulent payment request approved in a hurry. The Communications Authority of Kenya consistently links detected threats to weak patching and low awareness of social engineering. Training is the control that addresses both.

Neurobyte trains two audiences. Every employee gets practical security awareness: recognising phishing, business email compromise, SIM-swap fraud and social engineering as they actually appear in Kenya. Technical teams get hands-on offensive and defensive skills on HackYard, our live cyber range, where they attack real vulnerable targets across 12 sectors and capture flags that grade themselves.

Our trainers are practitioners from the same team that runs our penetration tests and managed security service, and we also built and run Cyberpro Global and the Neurobyte Digital Academy. Programmes are delivered on site, online or blended, with progress reporting for managers.

What's included

Security awareness for staff: Short, practical sessions on phishing, business email compromise, passwords, mobile money fraud and data protection, in plain language.
Phishing simulation: Realistic simulated phishing campaigns with instant micro-training for anyone who clicks, and trend reporting for management.
Hands-on ethical hacking: Guided attack-and-defend labs on HackYard covering the OWASP Top 10, APIs, cloud and network targets, from beginner to advanced.
Secure coding for developers: Developers learn how real vulnerabilities are exploited and how to fix them in their own stack.
AI security training: Prompt injection, the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications and safe use of AI tools for teams adopting AI.
Executive & board briefings: Cyber risk, regulatory obligations and incident decision-making for leadership, including tabletop exercises.

How it works

Needs assessment: We identify roles, risks, existing skills and any regulatory or client requirements for training.
Programme design: Content and format tailored to your sector, from a one-day workshop to a structured cohort programme.
Baseline: A phishing simulation or skills assessment establishes where you start, so improvement can be measured.
Delivery: On site, online or blended sessions, with hands-on labs on HackYard for technical teams.
Assessment & certificates: Knowledge checks, lab scores and certificates of completion for each participant.
Reporting & refreshers: Progress reports for managers and periodic refreshers, because awareness decays without reinforcement.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer ethical hacking courses in Kenya?

Yes. Our technical training is hands-on: participants attack real vulnerable applications and systems on HackYard, our live cyber range, guided from beginner to advanced, and learn the secure fix for every flaw they exploit.

How much do your cybersecurity courses cost?

Corporate programmes are priced by the number of participants, format and duration. HackYard team pricing is published on our HackYard pricing page, and our course fees guide explains what drives cost across the market.

Do you provide cybersecurity training for employees?

Yes. We deliver practical security awareness training and phishing simulations for all staff, focused on the attacks Kenyan organisations actually face, including business email compromise and mobile money fraud.

Can training be delivered on site in Nairobi?

Yes. We deliver on site, online or blended, and cohort programmes can combine in-person workshops with self-paced labs.

Do participants receive certificates?

Yes. Participants receive certificates of completion, and managers receive reports on participation and assessed skills.

Does training help with ISO 27001 and Data Protection Act compliance?

Yes. Both expect organisations to make staff aware of security and data protection responsibilities, and our reports provide evidence of that training for audits.
