Is Africa taking Cyber Security seriously? Soji Akinlabi and Tumediso Lobelo look into the world of cybersecurity and how it impacts Africa. As the least connected continent, we are vulnerable to cyber-crime. We discuss interesting developments in Kenya and talk about the cost of cybercrime globally. Kenya has become the latest Africa country to sign into law the framework of cybersecurity and digital safety; on May 16, President Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Bill 2018 that criminalizes abuse of persons on social media, removing the legal lacuna that existed. The new bill spells out stiff punishment to cybercriminals –provides for timely and effective detection, prohibition, prevention, response, investigation, and prosecution of computer and cybercrimes. This includes search and seizure of stored computer data, a record of and access to seized data, production order for data, expedited preservation, partial disclosure, real-time collection and interception of data. Some analysts criticized the new act while some commend the move. Tope Ogundipe, Director of Programs at Digital Rights NGO Paradigm Initiative warns that while the passing of laws tackling cybercrime should be encouraged across the African continent, these laws should not be used to limit important freedoms. Mucheru, Cabinet Secretary in the Information, Communication and Technology Ministry described the law as a necessary intervention ahead of the debates by parliamentarians and consideration by President Kenyatta, "Because cybersecurity criminal were becoming sophisticated and the government is sensitizing security and judiciary personnel on collection and interpretation of cybersecurity evidence for credible trial of suspects." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/digibiz-africa/support

Africa is on the move…young people are harnessing technology,” - Barack Obama at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit Nairobi, Kenya 2015. The digital economy in Africa started in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1995 when Mark Shuttleworth built Thawte, a leading certificate authority, and sold it to Verisign when Vodacom championed prepaid airtime. the wave then moved to Ghana in 2001, when, together with Mark Davies and others, BusyInternet was built.

The world's top ten tech companies --Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Alibaba, Intel, Oracle, Samsung and Baidu--increasingly have something in common: they're doing mission-critical work in Israel that's core to their businesses back at HQ. Let's take a look at how this trend is playing out. The world's top ten tech companies --Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Alibaba, Intel, Oracle, Samsung and Baidu--increasingly have something in common: they're doing mission-critical work in Israel that's core to their businesses back at HQ. Let's take a look at how this trend is playing out. Amazon: Up until some six months ago, Amazon had only two lines of activity in Israel, one for its AWS business, and a drone R&D facility in Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, for its Prime Air business. Google several years ago bought Waze, an Israeli navigation app, in its mission to connect the online and the offline worlds.  Facebook's acquisitions of Israeli companies, specifically Onavo and Face.com --have significantly boosted Facebook's core business: targeted advertising. Apple's second largest R&D center is in Israel, and it's reportedly working on processors, chips and sensors that are increasingly important to Apple's new devices and to augmented reality technology, meaning, Apple's future beyond the phone. Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, has been deeply engaged with Israeli innovation for decades, but its recent acquisition of Mobileye, an advanced driver assistance company from Jerusalem, signals Intel's intent to be front and center in the coming autonomous vehicle revolution. Oracle has recently announced that it plans to enter the cloud infrastructure race, trying to claw away market share from Amazon, the runaway leader, and Microsoft, which is itself trying to play catch-up. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/digibiz-africa/support
