Still buzzing from the Human Firewall Run 2026 in Jinja!
What an exciting and impactful engagement it was on Saturday! Beyond the run, it was an opportunity to connect, learn, inspire and explore new possibilities!
With UICT's newly approved National Technician Diploma in Cybersecurity and Forensics, the event couldn't have been more timely!
Our students participating in the @UCC_Official Cyber Competition had an incredible opportunity to receive mentorship from @NITAUganda1 & @ciocxo_dlf and interact with fellow students from @NFSU_Official , exchanging ideas and building valuable connections.
And this is just the beginning! We look forward to translating these engagements into meaningful collaborations in #CyberSecurity , digital forensics, innovation and practical skills development.
A huge thank you to @NFSU_Official for hosting this remarkable initiative and to Team UICT for representing the Institute with enthusiasm and pride!
More exciting highlights from the engagement loading… Stay tuned!
