-- Dear Participant,

On behalf of ISACA Tanzania Chapter and Norway Registers Development AS, we would like to invite you to attend the Cyber Defence East Africa 2013 conference which will be taking place on the28^th-30^th August in Morogoro, Tanzania.

The importance of cyber security in Tanzania is increasing due to country’s rapid development. More and more businesses and government institutions are conducting their activities online and, therefore, relying heavily on information technology. 

Smooth business activity often depends on a smooth functioning of IT infrastructure: inoperative applications, such as financial systems, e-mail or any other kind of database failure may cause many problems, lead to financial loss or even disrupt the activities of an organization. Rise in mobile money transactions, increasing importance of data and IT infrastructure's availability also heighten security concerns.

Furthermore, the scope, dynamics, and harm to organisations inflicted by cyber attacks have been intensively growing during the last years. The nature of the threats has changed significantly: before random attacks were dominant, now - targeted to certain persons or their groups, organisations. Cyber-crime is getting more industrialised, data leakage is becoming especially frequent.

As a consequence, international community is uniting and seeking for cooperation in order to stop cyber-crimes. European experience is very important for East Africa because manifestations of similar cyber threats are already present (data leakage, DDoS, resilience issues) while readiness to withstand them is still very low.

In order to assist organisations in creating a secure digital environment in Tanzania and whole East African region as well as maintaining trust of both citizens and foreign investors, ISACA Tanzania Chapter together with Norway Registers Development AS is organising intensive three-day training oncritical security controls or penetration testing for information security professionals, information systems auditors, IT risk professionals and IT enthusiasts.

This event will help to get organizations up to speed in information security and prepare them to react appropriately and minimize the damage in case of a security incident.

 Motivating educational programmes are designed with a reference to the best security practices, standards of business ethics, legal regulations and principles of business continuity. 

Introductory security courses educate on the current cyber threats, the attack cycle, defence techniques, risk management, forensic challenges and incident response planning among many other things. 

Furthermore, during the event the biggest, industry leading cyber security vendors will showcase their state-of-art technologies. In addition, participants will have networking opportunities with colleagues from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia during unofficial meetings and the Gala Dinner.

Participatinginthiseventwill also offeranopportunity to earn 24 CPE hours.

We believe that your participation in this conference will bring many benefits both to you and to your respective organisations. Therefore, we are really looking forward to seeing you there. 

Yours Sincerely,

CDEA’13 organising committee
