Emerging market sovereign debt has attracted global interest over the past 5 years, especially as yields in the West have been low, and right now investors are paying governments to lend them money.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Discussions at the meeting will be centred around whether this debt accumulation is manageable and what policy makers can do to accelerate reform in order to enable deeper capital markets and more cross border capital flows. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The meeting is organised by African Banker magazine, part of the IC Publications group, which is one of Africa's leading media and communications groups. It the first time that the Summit is taking place in Washington DC. Historically it took place in June, following the African Development Bank meetings. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Speaking ahead of the summit, group publisher at IC Publications and Managing Director of IC Events, the live events arm of the business, Omar Ben Yedder said that the focus of ADCM5 will be on the emergence of world class financial hubs in Africa. African capital markets, he said, have a clear and critical role in increasingly driving investment, growth and economic diversification. There needs to be an avenue for small and medium sized businesses to raise capital and the capital markets should be there for them, he added. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The summit is sponsored by Standard Bank. Speaking ahead of the meeting, Megan McDonald, Head of Debt Primary Markets at Standard Bank highlighted how the total volume of Eurobonds Africa issuance in 2014 had exceeded that of 2013, stating that this now stands at slightly over US$15billion dollars. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"In general" she said, "I think you can say that the capital that has been raised by Eurobond issuances has been well used in Africa.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">One of the benefits of any issuer accessing the Eurobond market is that it increases the scrutiny and focus from a global investor audience in terms of government procedures, reporting and information disclosure, which imposes a discipline on the issuer to ensure that the funds are used appropriately."</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In addition to providing a deep analysis of local currency markets, attendees will have an opportunity to hear the views of investors, and speakers will be able to share and hear insights and case-studies from African Markets.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">As part of the Summit, Standard Bank will also host a Gala Dinner where the guest speaker will be the young African entrepreneur, Ashish Thakkar.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by African Media Agency (AMA) on behalf of IC Publications</span></div> </div>

New Research Reveals Wide Gap between Perception and Reality of Perimeter Security Effectiveness

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fnoYzRc6F3A/VTc6zQSJ44I/AAAAAAAAFtI/tbUtMpkHhDs/s1600/Gim.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fnoYzRc6F3A/VTc6zQSJ44I/AAAAAAAAFtI/tbUtMpkHhDs/s1600/Gim.png" width="370" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 </span><a href="http://www.gemalto.com/" style="font-size: x-large;">GTO</a><span style="font-size: large;">), the world leader in digital security, has today released the latest findings of the 2015 Data Security Confidence Index (DSCI). The report reveals a widening gap emerging between the perception and the reality of perimeter security effectiveness amongst global IT decision makers. The research shows increasing levels of investment in this area of data protection, despite an exponential growth in the number of data breaches.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Investments in Breach Prevention Rise Despite Increased Breaches of Perimeter Security</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The number of global data breaches continues to increase - according to Gemalto’s Breach Level Index (<a href="http://goo.gl/FmcC9f">BLI</a>), more than 1,500 data breaches led to one billion data records compromised in 2014 alone, a 49% increase in data breaches and a 78% increase in data records stolen or lost compared to 2013. Despite this the DSCI research shows that almost nine out of ten (87%) IT decision makers feel their organization’s perimeter security systems are effective at keeping out unauthorized users. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The study shows that IT decision makers are looking to further increase their investment in perimeter security with 64% looking to do so in the next 12 months. Interestingly, when thinking of the most recent breaches, the average amount of breached data protected by encryption was below 8%, highlighting the need for a more robust data protection strategy.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Low Confidence in Ability to Prevent Breaches and Unauthorized User Access</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Nevertheless, a third (33%) believe unauthorized users are still able to access their networks and a further 34% are not confident in the security of their organization’s data, should a breach occur. In fact, the DSCI survey reveals that as a result of recent high profile breaches, 71% of organizations have adjusted their security strategy, but are still focused on perimeter security. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Adding to the confusion, nearly three quarters of IT decision makers (72%) stated that their investment in perimeter security has increased over the past five years, though 30% admitted that in the past 12 months their company has been victim to a breach, showing the need to approach security differently. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Although high-profile data breaches have driven over seven in 10 (71%) organizations to adjust their security strategy, more than three in five (62%) respondents are no more confident than they were this time last year in the security industry’s ability to detect and defend against emerging security threats.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“With the number of sophisticated breaches on the rise, relying on perimeter security systems alone is no longer enough. Traditional security staples such as firewalls and anti-virus should be part of a much greater security strategy. IT decision makers need to take into account that if someone is motivated enough they will breach a network, no matter how well it is protected,” said Tsion Gonen, Vice President of Strategy for Identity and Data Protection at Gemalto.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Commercial Impacts of Data Breaches</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">As a result of these attacks, nine out of 10 organizations (90%) suffered negative commercial consequences, including delays in product or service development (31%), decreased employee productivity (30%), decreased customer confidence (28%), and negative press (24%). This highlights the severe consequences of data breaches, which can be damaging both to an organization’s reputation and bottom line, as well as to customers’ confidence in entire industry sectors.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“Organizations still place too much emphasis on perimeter security, even though it has proven to be ineffective”, added Gonen. “Decision makers should place greater importance on customer data, and look to adopt a ‘secure the breach’ approach that focuses on securing the data after intruders penetrate the perimeter defenses. This means they need to attach security directly to the data itself using multi-factor authentication and data encryption, as well as securely managing encryption keys. That way, if the data is stolen, it is useless to the thief.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Gemalto.</span></div> </div>

DHL and Cisco Internet of Things Trend Report reveals huge potential

DHL and Cisco Consulting Services are also collaborating on a joint IoT innovation project that will improve decision-making in warehouse operations with near real-time data analytics based on Wi-Fi connected devices.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Ken Allen, CEO DHL Express and Board Sponsor Technology, said: “At Deutsche Post DHL Group we have a deeply held belief in the positive powers of global trade. Yet, as our Global Connectedness Index(1) 2014 revealed, the overall level of global connectedness remains surprisingly limited. There is huge potential for countries to further increase their connectedness and prosper through trade, integration and technology. We believe the Internet of Things will be a primary enabler of this global transformation.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Trend Report, which estimates that there will be 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020 compared to 15 billion today, looks at the potential impact this technological revolution will have on business. The value at stake, combination of increased revenues and lower costs that is created or will migrate among companies and industries when new connections are made, reveals the huge potential when the Internet and networks expand their connections to warehousing, freight transportation and other elements of the supply chain. For any organization with a supply chain or logistics operations, IoT will have game-changing consequences, from creating more ‘last mile’ delivery options for customers, to more efficient warehousing operations and freight transportation.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">According to Cisco’s economic analysis, IoT will generate US$8 trillion worldwide in Value at Stake over the next decade. This will come from five primary drivers: innovation and revenue (US$2.1 trillion); asset utilization (US$2.1 trillion); supply chain and logistics (US$1.9 trillion); employee productivity improvements (US$1.2 trillion); and enhanced customer and citizen experience (US$700 billion).</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"Digital disruption is all around us and it’s having massive implications for business. Digitization and the expansion of the Internet of Things is a catalyst for growth, which is driving new economic models and enabling organizations to remain competitive and embrace the pace of change happening globally. This report clearly demonstrates that digitization and the IoT will deliver long term efficiencies and growth opportunities across a wide range of industries,” commented Chris Dedicoat, president, EMEAR for Cisco.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">According to the report, over the next decade, the logistics industry could unlock higher levels of operational efficiency as the IoT connects in real time millions of shipments being moved, tracked and stowed each day. In warehousing, connected pallets and items will be a driver for smarter inventory management. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In freight transportation, tracking and tracing of goods becomes faster, more accurate, predictive and secure while analytics of a connected fleet can help to predict asset failure and to schedule maintenance checks automatically. Finally, connecting delivery personnel with surrounding vehicles and people can become a way of monetizing and optimizing the return trip to improve efficiency and service in last mile delivery. For customers, this means DHL can provide an even faster, more reliable and cost-effective service.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“The Internet of Things is the connection of almost anything – from parcels to people – via sensor technology to the web and both Cisco and DHL believe this will revolutionize business processes across the entire value chain including supply chain and logistics. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">To get the maximum global economic benefit, we’ll need to understand how all components in the value chain converge and this will require a comprehensive collaboration, participation and the willingness to invest to create a thriving IoT eco system for sustainable business processes. The new Trend Report is another step towards making sure DHL delivers the benefits of IoT to our customers” said Markus Kückelhaus, Vice President Innovation & Trend Research, DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Cisco Consulting Services and DHL are now also collaborating on a joint IoT innovation project that will improve decision-making in the warehouse operations through near real-time data analytics based on Wi-Fi location data of selected devices. The solution is based on Cisco’s Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) which uses the high-density wireless network to collect aggregate location data on Wi-Fi connected devices.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Deutsche Post DHL.</span></div> </div>

budi kuienzi historia hiyo kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Mapema akisoma risala ya wazee wa msikiti huo Sheikh Abdalla Rajab, amewashukuru waliojenga msikiti huo mkubwa katika kijiji chao, na kuahidi kuutunza na kuweka darsa ambazo zitakuwa endelevu.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Amesema uwepo wa msikiti huo ni faraja kwa wanakijiji na maeneo jirani, kwani pia wameweza kuondokana na shida ya maji safi na salama iliyokuwa ikiwakabili kwa kipindi kirefu.</span></div> </div>
