Are we this indifferent about information security?
by Tech List Kenya 30 Nov '11

This is from KQ job offer: Job Title: *Information Security Administrator* Organization Name: *Infomation Systems* ** Job Requirements *Knowledge and skills* ** · University degree in secretarial studies or business related field · Excellent communication/ interpersonal skills · PC Literacy with working knowledge of office packages · 3 years of relevant experience in a large organization or service industry This mail is not about bashing KQ so lets stay away from that. Its about the way the market regards information security. This is what I'd expect of an Infor Security Admin: http://www.uh.edu/infotech/php/template.php?nonsvc_id=269 or http://brainbench.com/xml/bb/skillscenter/jobroleresults.xml?jobRoleId=59 among others Hopefully it was a typo on KQ's side.

Do you use legitimate software?
by Mbugua Njihia 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Do you pay for the software that you use? If not.why? Are the avenues to do so lacking? Do you perceive the value derived as less than the asking price? Share your thoughts and comments here - http://bit.ly/srpXlw Information technology has been seen as the sector that will in the coming decade create thousands of jobs by way of birthing new companies to exploit new niches, providing tools that enable access to a hither to unreachable market segment and the export of services through outsourcing. As we get excited by the new opportunities we must pay close attention to the accompanying issues that we have in the past let slip by silently. As we start to create our own services {think beyond IT here.the arts, music, creative, manufacturing } and build platforms that we hope to sell to consumers, we start to encounter terms such as Intellectual Property which often elicit fear as we do not want our IP rights to be abused and / or our work stolen. If this be the case, why is it then that we feel it is ok to infringe on the rights of others by blatantly disregarding their intellectual property by way of using software without commensurate compensation to its creator?
