KUBO CyberSec Community

A community in The Gambia for people who want to learn cybersecurity by doing it: solving puzzles, finding weak spots in systems built for practice, and learning from each other.

What it is

Security, learned hands on

Cybersecurity is a skill you build by trying things. The community brings people together at a KUBO lab to work on real challenges in a safe setting, in teams, with people who know a bit more helping those who know a bit less.

Who it is for

Young adults and up, any level

Anyone curious about how systems are attacked and defended, from complete beginners to people who already work in IT. You do not need any experience to start.
