Driving Advanced Infrastructure Capabilities Across Africa!
The recently completed training on Module 5 on Advanced DNS Implementation in Nairobi had a great impact! This critical capacity-building initiative for Cohort 1 was made possible through a powerful partnership between Kenic TLD, AFRALTI, and ICANN.
Facilitated by TecFlax’s Technical Director, this rigorous 5-day training brought together 17 registry technical teams, system administrators, and ICT managers from 12 organizations across 8 African countries.
💡 Key Highlights & Impact:
1. Hands-on Mastery: Deep dive into BIND hardening, Anycast DNS, IPv6, and cloud integration using our unique Analogy → Technical Explanation → Action methodology.
2. Securing the Future: Deep engagement with DNSSEC fundamentals to strengthen back-end registry security across the continent.
3. Regional Collaboration: Participants organically laid the groundwork for a landmark initiative, exploring a shared Security Operations Center (SOC) for African ccTLDs to combat DDoS threats.
From Botswana to South Sudan, African tech leaders are returning home with concrete action plans to audit zone security and optimize performance.
Thank you to KeNIC, AFRALTI, and ICANN for championing this vital collaboration for Africa's digital future!
