Ecosystem innovation in technology, a better approach
by Mbugua Njihia 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Relevance in a rapidly changing space means that unless we continuously churn out products and services that scale and are sustainable, will be committed to the archives, and this I am afraid is the path we are headed to with a product or service centric innovation model. Why, you ask? It is that many other factors are at play in the grand scheme of things and it is hardly ever the brilliance of a product or service alone that delivers the payload - http://bit.ly/1rw4ZTg

Fwd: Identity the missing piece to the Security Puzzle (AD)
by Oliver Ndegwa 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Dear Skunks, I am a peculiar person. I am passionate about the power of identity to re-shape the role of information technology in the 21st century. Just how prepared are we against the following; 1. Our own internal threats - what do our staff members do when they bring their own device 2. What happens when everyone can access the cloud without Involvement of IT. 3. How do you protect company data against leakage to competition through social media, smartphones snapshots, private emails, print outs. 4. Can you give an account of every member of staff life cycle should there be a need for litigation on activities they did while working within your organization . 5. How would it feel if you would be able to detect network threats (internal and external) and be able to do a lock down before it actually happens. 6. Imagine if your systems audit process was made as easy as ABC and you could also audit what the auditors audited? sounds unreal. Schedule a discussion with us today and we can assist you to protect your stakeholders investments. We have the tools, you take control. Warm Regards, Oliver Ndegwa
