@BwanaChris 100%. We also need to encourage direct flights from Europe. Hubbing through Qatar and Dubai just adds to the hassle and the time taken to travel. Make it easy, make it affordable

ZAMBIA TO HOST THE PAN AFRICA DIGITAL GOVERNMENT SUMMIT
"Zambia a Growing Fiber Connectivity Hub"

[Geoff Hardwick @Geoffh1960]

Dear Zambia, why can’t you start functions and events on time? Respect the people who do arrive for the advertised time.

[Techtrends Zambia @techtrends_zm]

Recently awarded ‘Cybersecurity Company of the Year’ in the 2022 Techtrends Zambia Awards, Paratus Zambia is proud to announce that it is the official internet connectivity sponsor for the upcoming Capture the Flag competition. Hosted by @digitalsafezm in collaboration with @hackthebox_eu, the competition will see students from different universities compete in various rounds of cybersecurity challenges.

According to https://t.co/ziOeLTfStb, “Every company is now a reachable target, and every company, large or small, has operations, brand, reputation, and revenue pipelines that are potentially at risk from a breach.” Another 2023 article on https://t.co/0v5DqbCUrR claims that the “average cost of a data breach is projected to reach $4.2 million by 2023.”   In a world where cyber threats are a constant concern, the shortage of 3.5 million cybersecurity professionals remains a pressing issue and bridging the gap becomes paramount. That's why competitions like these are vital to foster a vibrant community for cybersecurity enthusiasts to support one another and offer practical avenues for students to gain much-needed real-world experience.

Paratus Zambia Country Manager, Marius Van Vuuren says “As the official connectivity sponsor, this gives us a great opportunity to assist our future generations in developing their skills in a much-needed area of expertise. By being part of a competition like this, we can assist in nurturing a pool of proven and skilled cybersecurity professionals for the Zambian industry to tap into. Cybercrime is one of the greatest risks to any business, and even though our digital technology is always improving, unfortunately, cyber-attack sophistication is ever evolving and improving as well, so we always need to be one step ahead of the hackers.”

Musonda Kapaya, Digital Safe Limited Chief Executive Officer says, “We are excited to host this competition once again. Our first competition last year was a great success, and we look forward to offering students real-life scenarios to equip them with the necessary skills to combat any possible future cybercrime threats. Because a high-quality connection is essential for all stages of the competition, we are of course delighted to have Paratus Zambia on board so that everything runs without a glitch.”

The competition is two-fold and consists of a qualifier and a final round. The qualifier, which takes place on 29 July 2023, will be completely virtual; while the final will take place on 26 August 2023, and will be at Unicaf University. Prizes for the competition include membership to the official International Security Auditing and Compliance Association (ISACA), premium subscription of Hack the Box vouchers, laptops, as well as additional branded sponsored goodies.  Paratus Zambia will also be taking the competition finalists on an exclusive visit to its state-of-the-art Data Center in Lusaka to give the participants some valuable insights into advanced cybersecurity infrastructure.

Dear Zambia, stop tolerating mediocrity. For Zambia to be recognised on the world stage we need to stand out.
