Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

ACTIVE DEFENSE FOR ADVERSARY PURSUIT
by Gichuki John Chuksjonia 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Good evening team, During the last week we hosted an Active Defense for Adversary Pursuit training at Naivasha. The training focused on how to detect TTPs, used by the local adversaries in East and Central Africa. We used a CTI report that was handed to several Financial institutions on 13th December to enumerate attacks by these groups and how to fight them out of the infrastructure. That CTI Report was not shared with all banks but several had it and we have noted these tools are still active in our infrastructures, and hence deciding to take it public. This CTI Report is number 103 released on December 13th 2019 and can be downloaded on this link. *http://onnetservices.io/Public/ADVISORY103.pdf <http://onnetservices.io/Public/ADVISORY103.pdf>* This CTI report also contains I&Ws (Indicators and Warnings) of breaches that actually occurred on December, January 2020 and Feb. This CTI was used for the training at Naivasha and the link below contains the Declassified version of the class. *http://onnetservices.io/Public/ADAPClassNaivasha-DeclassifiedForTheCommunity.pdf <http://onnetservices.io/Public/ADAPClassNaivasha-DeclassifiedForTheCommunit…>* Let's help each other to defend and minimize breaches in our East and Central African region by degrading, denying, disrupting and destroying these Advanced Financial Threats to their tracks. Thankful, #FukuzaMwizi -- -- OnNet CTO http://www.onnetservices.io

Applications Open for the Global Media Policy Summer Institute in Oxford
by Eleanor Marchant 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi Everyone! Applications are currently open for the annual global media policy summer institute that we run here in Oxford every year. We focus on new media and technology and have participants from all around the world from academia, law, journalism, tech, and human rights. We have some funding available to help participants who couldn't afford to attend otherwise. Get in touch with any questions! Details below: Best, Eleanor ___________________________________________ *OXFORD MEDIA POLICY SUMMER INSTITUTE* August 3-14, 2020 *Deadline for Applications: April 20, 2020* *Early Decision Deadline: March 20, 2020* Apply here for the 2020 Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute <https://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/oxford-media-policy-summer-institute/apply/> For more than twenty years the Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute has brought together top early career scholars, research students, media lawyers and regulators, human rights activists, and policymakers from around the world to discuss the effects of technology, media and policy from a global and multidisciplinary perspective. Participants have the opportunity to take part in an intensive two-week programme in Oxford that blends expert instruction with participatory activity, group work and discussion. *JOIN AN ENGAGED AND VIBRANT ALUMNI COMMUNITY* With around 30 participants from more than 20 countries, the Media Policy Institute offers participants unrivalled exposure to global media and technology challenges. The Institute’s alumni are an exceptional and vibrant group who stay engaged well past the end of the two weeks. Many go on to become leaders at top government agencies, non-profits, corporations and universities around the world. *THEMES* The Internet and other new technologies are rapidly and irreversibly changing global media environments presenting enormous challenges for building policies that both understand the scope of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, biometrics and social media, and can adequately protect the rights of people using them. Topics to be explored during the institute include online censorship, social media content regulation, net neutrality, the spread of disinformation online, and the relationship between technology and democratic participation, amongst others. Participants will leave with a thorough understanding of how these issues influence, and are influenced by, laws and regulations governing the media and communications technologies in diverse contexts and jurisdictions. *HOW TO APPLY* The Institute is co-organized by the University of Oxford’s Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Johannesburg’s School of Communication. *APPLY FOR THE 2020 OXFORD MEDIA POLICY SUMMER INSTITUTE* https://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/oxford-media-policy-summer-institute/apply/ -- ELEANOR R MARCHANT PHD *ConflictNET Postdoctoral Fellow | Programme in Comparative Media Law & Policy, Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Oxford University* *Tw: **@ermarchant <https://twitter.com/ermarchant> | www.eleanormarchant.me <http://www.eleanormarchant.me>*
