[kictanet] cyber security

Mon Apr 19 09:04:43 EAT 2010

Dr Ndemo,
The policy document that you floated here was well noted, inasmuch as  
it's still in the very basic draft form. I would like to point out  
that there is a growing number of InfoSec professionals in Kenya. On  
10th of this month, the first ever CISSP exam was conducted in Kenya,  
hosted by K-90 on behalf of ISC2. 12 candidates sat the 6 hour exam, 1  
each being from UG, TZ and Ethiopia.
There is also the It security technical committee at KEBS which is  
discussing security standards. So there will not be a shortage of  
skill when discussions begin.
Ikua

>>> On fencing.  At the height of Government land grabbing and
