[Bp_localcontent] Summary of section 2

Tue Jul 29 14:33:53 EDT 2014

And what about access to these contents? How will people know they exist, how to retrieve them after they are thrown into the Internet ocean?, Martha

Asunto: Re: [Bp_localcontent] Summary of section 2

Hello Colleagues,

The importance is to have local capacity backed up with required security because at the end of the day no matter where the content is hosted and who host it, if that security is not there it does not matter as breaches will likely occur.  For me talking from a developing country stand point, we need to develop the neccesary security in house to enable us to do  these things properly, if not a lot of resources that could have gone to other uses we go diwn the drain.  Hence required capacity building first and foremost backed up with the right infastructure within our existing context will do for a start.

Kind Regards

Poncelet

These security breaches boils up to capacity building and hiring the
right people. What is Outlook.com and Yahoo! doing differently to have
a better security setup than local companies?

In Kenya, the opposite is happening. All government hosted services
that are offshore are being relocated back home to ensure "better
security and monitoring". Of course the government will have a bigger
challenge in securing the services than when outsourcing. But again,
it means the amount of local content hosted within the country will
increase, and more jobs will be created.
