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.

5TH ADAP WEBINAR 24TH APRIL 2020 (HIDDEN LAPTOP CYBER RANGE)
by Gichuki John Chuksjonia 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Good evening team, As promised during the last Idefend Conference, we will show case how Forkbombo Cyber Cartel was using hidden laptops to laterally infect systems in an infrastructure. For those who missed my talk on ForkbomboCyberCartel, you can access it here <http://www.onnetservices.io/Public/IDefendCON-TheCyberCartel.pdf>. Since this Cartel broke up in 2017, after the major arrests of their leadership, the Tactics Techniques and Procedures, to bring hidden laptops inside Banks, Saccos, MFIs and even Government Financial Institutes haven't died off. Due to the amount of robberies happening right now by different groups, it's imperative to learn this exception TTP and the reason why uprooting these devices is paramount to counter cyber operations. Kindly join us tomorrow, from 1500 hrs to 1630 hrs for Hidden laptop Cyber range Webinar by sending an email for registration to training(a)onnetservices.biz Thank you, see you then. -- -- OnNet CTO http://www.onnetservices.io @onnetservices
