The fight against cybercrime in Kenya received a boost following a deal between IT security firm Eset and Strathmore University that will see the Slovakian firm support the institution’s academic programmes on internet security.
The memorandum of understanding (M.O.U) with the Nairobi-based University’s @iLabAfrica centre provides that ESET East Africa will jointly develop and introduce additional courses on emerging technologies to impart skills required to tackle new threats such as Internet of Things (IoT) Security, Security for Industrial Control Systems, Cybersecurity for Executives, Advance Malware Analysis and Secure Application Development among others.
