Among the key discussion points were a comprehensive overview of the Africa Cyber Immersion Center highlighting its functions, including community outreach, educational programs for students, research initiatives, and product development. 

The presentation about ISACA advocated actionable steps for students to maximize their engagement with the Student Group. Students were encouraged to join the group and benefit from certification programs such as CISA, ITCA and CET; various student-centered activities and events such annual conferences, hackathons, webinars, and community engagement initiatives. 

ISACA has a number of scholarships that students can greatly benefit from, such as the Digital Trust Scholarship and ISACA Women's Month Scholarship.
