Venue: Botho College
Venue: Botho College
This panel discussion has been organized by BITS in conjunction with Botho College (also as the sponsor), and has been derived from past seminar discussions and feedback from Pitso of 10 – 11 September 2012. Botswana is growing in Internet Technology and has recently launched the Online Government and West Africa Cable System (WACS). Launching the WACS in Gaborone in September 2012, Mr Molefhi said the high speed capacity cable would ensure that Botswana’s aspirations, as espoused in Maitlamo, Vision 2016 and National Development Plan 10, were realized. Although, these realizes the advances of Internet in Botswana, there are other factors needing consideration like security, cyber fraud, human rights etc, hence efforts to learn and find out what are organizations doing to mitigating any infringing issues against their online services. Furthermore to the cyber-security workshop held in Gaborone Sun from he gave a keynote address at the start of a 5-day cyber-security training, saying "Molefhi said cyber-security could be costly, dangerous and could erode the consumer confidence in the use of ICT..", thus requiring our efforts in informing ourselves and ICT community at large our experiences and ideas to mitigating any threats to our ICT environment. Many organizations, the government and other private entities have number of projects in place regarding security on their online services, which need to be brought to the attention of the clients and customers, to find a way of verifying legitimacy of such services. A great platform for a needs assessment for each organisation to consider their own checklist if indeed they are providing their clients with the right security for their e-services. The panel discussion will also give platform to review challenges as a country, that we face in the Internet and will review also successful stories of lowering existing barriers for these issues. A prospective revision through the outcomes of the other workshops will be done as well. The main questions that the workshop will try to answer are included in the Panel Discussion agenda.
