PUBLIC STATEMENT
The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has learnt with concern of the launch of a “National Data Strategy” by the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and National Guidance (MoICT&NG).
The Bureau informs the public that the strategy breaches the provisions of the UBOS Act, 1998, Cap. 333, which establishes UBOS as the principal data collecting and disseminating agency responsible for coordinating, monitoring and supervising the National Statistical System.
The public is therefore strongly advised to treat the impugned “National Data Strategy” recently launched by the MoICT&NG with the utmost contempt it deserves.

Additionally, dedicating a particular channel and use of user-defined network ports; and use of multiple paths during transmission of big data in split manner increases the reliability, authenticity and security of big data over network the environment.
Through this, the security of big data in network environment by integration of compression and splitting mechanism with data encryption can be a success.
Data splitting can also be adopted to make the transmission more reliable. After splitting the data contents, then data transmission can be done using multiple routes to the final repository.
To counter the data breaches, there is need to use several encryption mechanisms though the performance of network system can get degraded during data transmission.
With the growing scale of digital data, the security of big data and retaining the performance during its transmission over network becomes a challenge with the ever-changing trends of hackers who are interested in Personally Identifiable Information with different motives.
Self-taught Cyber security specialists could fill skill gaps by seeking industry-recognized certifications, create a portfolio of projects and hands-on experience to demonstrate skills, attend industry events, and join professional associations.
Big data and cyber security is crucial as emerging attacks take advantage, it reflects the capacity of collecting enormous amounts of digital information. Visualizing, and analyzing futuristic insights so that disastrous cyber threats and attacks can be predicted well in advance.
