*PRESS RELEASE*

*For Immediate Release,*

*Technology Leaders in Kenya Pledge to Support County and Regional
Assemblies Deal With Cyber Crime.*

*Nairobi 17th December 2015* : With the growing occurrences of cybercrime,
globally, a consortium of leading Kenya technology firms gathered at Techno
Brain Group’s global headquarters in Nairobi, to brief over 250 sergeant at
arms, drawn from the National Parliament, The Senate, County Assemblies,
Regional parliaments and the East African Legislative Assembly on various
aspects of cyber security.

The consortium led by Christine Tantuo, Techno Brain Group Country
Director, brought together Microsoft East Africa, Oracle and Cisco, who
took the sergeant at arms through various aspects of cyber security, access
control management and an interactive opportunity for exchange of ideas and
experience of different cultures and emerging security procedures and
processes.

This was part of an industry visit organised during the 1st National
Conference of Sergeant at Arms, held in Nairobi between 14th – 19th
December 2015, which was officially opened by Hon Major General Nkaissery
(RTD), the cabinet secretary for Interior and Coordination of National
Government.

Speaking during the industry experience today, Christine Tantuo, Techno
Brain Group Country Director lauded the necessity of the conference, to the
development of framework for best practices for sergeant-at-arms, linking
their roles to responding to emerging security issues, especially cyber
security. “The purpose of this visit to TechnoBrain is to understand
security measures that they can adopt, to deal with the modern threats.
This will enable the sergeant-at-arms to know how they can secure physical,
infrastructure and cyber space.” She added. By engaging with the various
industry leaders present today the sergeant at arms will have a hands-on
feel and see demos of they can secure their assemblies, secure informations
and give citizens the ability to access this information as provided in the
constitution.”

The law requires that the senate and county assemblies provides citizens
with information through their website, including opportunities for
citizen’s participation in drafting of bills .Jude Mark Bwari, Microsoft
East Africa technology strategist explained solutions that can help the
assemblies present  disseminate information to the public and other
assembly members across East Africa securely.

Techno Brain, in conjunction with the present technology leaders present
for this industry experience, have developed over 15 solutions targeted at
the public sector, which the assemblies represented can use to enhance
service delivery, added Ms Christine during the function.
