Whatapp INTRODUCTION It?s a known fact that information is processed from facts and figures; we also agree that if data is not well managed it can be overwhelming. Giving a spatial dimension to data and performing spatial analysis in a GIS environment speeds interpretation visualization which eventually speeds up implementation of programs. Integrating GIS and Remote Sensing as a decision making tool has seen many organizations gain competitive advantage and remain relevant globally. To make timely decisions requires not only innovative ways to access accurate and real time information, but also tools to help present the information in ways that are useful. Everything that happens in this world has a spatial dimension and this has made GIS applicable across all fields e.g. in agriculture, business, forestry, crime, mining, health, transport and communications, utility management, climate change, planning etc. A geographic information system (GIS) will allow you to bring all types of data inform of layers, overlay them to perform analysis and eventually publish a map from that. This main objective of this course is to help our client understand how well they can apply GIS and Remote Sensing in their day to day activities of their organization. The course will be hands-on exercises in Quantum GIS (QGIS). COURSE OBJECTIVES At the end of course participants should be able to: ??????? Develop and implement a GIS project ???????

Contact us ? Whatapp ? INTRODUCTION Information and know-how are valuable company assets, and in times of fierce competition, organizations need to protect their information and systems against the threat of corporate espionage. Many organizations are unaware of potential information leaks, and as a result counterintelligence operations are neglected or are simply a series of routine technical measures. However, employees typically represent a major weak spot for organizations ? which means that existing processes and structures for information flows need to be challenged. Empirical research indicates that most information losses are traced back to a company?s employees, or the personnel of its suppliers, customers, or partners ? all of whom have access to confidential information. The training will look at the different threats organizations might face and ways in which they can protect and secure it against attacks. Participants will also learn how to set up counterintelligence processes that involve collecting information and conducting counterintelligence activities. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants should be able to: ??????? Know the purpose of a cybersecurity audit ??????? Define cybersecurity audit controls ??????? Identify cybersecurity audit frameworks ??????? Explain proper audit team performance ??????? Define the benefits of a cybersecurity audit ??????? Learn how to identify vulnerable points within your organization and how to secure them. Run awareness campaigns among your colleagues in order to raise awareness of espionage threats and protect them from attacks.
