After the Break

I was abit off the site for some time since December ,actually i had a busy schedule that made posting something a bit difficult. A lot has happened ,we have seen our local IT Association ICTAM organising a DRP/BCP workshop .Honestly ICTAM and the facilitators need to be commended ,this is a good step in the right direction for it shows that issues of security as far as ICT is concerned can not be avoided. Interestingly i was impressed to see companies like National Bank of Malawi ,Celtel and others which offers real time ICT Services sending their employees to the workshop-this is great!
What i want to see now is companies creating positions of ICT Security Managers/Officers in their structures so that someone should be fully responsible for these security issues rather than the same person doing hardware ,software ,trainings and the like -This is time for specialisation ,and we need to move quickly in this area of ICT Security otherwise the Zimbabwe and South African Security Consultants will continue robbing our companies with their high and unjustied prices.
