@Roy, 10-point plan on security for Government is good. But I just realized we had some action points during the #First100Days initiative that may need review soon before we add more 10-points. | | | | | | | | | | | #First100Days: Consolidated & Categorized Feedback #First100Days: Consolidated & Categorized Feedback Policy& Legal issues #To be Reviewed in the First100... | | | | Additionally, there's an ongoing National ICT Policy Review exercise that I will be bringing on the KICTAnet list during the second week of May. Perhaps listers will be patient and bring on board their Security ideas then. But ofcourse, meanwhile, we can still continue 'ventilating' as a warm up :-) rgds. walu.

It seems good is not good enough. Instead of criticizing could we turn this forum using this new revelation to propose solutions? Can we develop a 10-point action plan to present to the government on the way forward to ensure such breaches are minimized? I know it cannot be 100% eliminated, however we can minimize the risk significantly.

The fact no government is immune (wikileaks etc..) means that we really need to be serious about our ICT investments in our own institutions.
