[kictanet] Experts: Kenyan businesses unprepared for security attacks

[waudo siganga]

IT Security can also be enhanced if we promote the idea of IT
experts operating in a legal and regulatory environment. An IT
Practioners Management Act would go a long way in ensuring
acceptable qualifications, licensing, disciplining, continuous
professional development (including periodic training in
security). When a doctor is to operate on me I expect him to be
licenced; I should have the same expectation of an "IT expert"
who wants to operate on my company systems/data.

     Experts: Kenyan businesses unprepared for security attacks

The switch to more computerized information and processes has led
to increased productivity and profits for many Kenyan companies,
but information security has been neglected, according to IT
experts in the country.

Many companies in Kenya adopt high-tech hardware and software,
but very few are fully investing in information security and
frequent audits to identify vulnerabilities, according to John
Gichuki, an information security and forensic auditor.
