...Cyberwar: What the world needs to know After everything that has been happening in the world, from the 9/11 takedown of the twin towers, to the shooting in Paris almost a month ago, the world has been drawn to attention to the extent of surveillance and cyber-espionage practiced by the US government, not only in relation to suspected terrorists but also in relation to the ordinary citizen. After reading Cybersecurity and Cyberwar, I feel like it comes at an interesting time in the history of security services world-wide, when the extent of inter-connectivity of every agency, corporation and individual makes cyber-surveillance easier to put into effect. The authors are experts in their field: Peter Singer is Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, a former coordinator of Obama's defence policy task-force during the 2008 campaign and author of three other books on aspects of warfare. Allan Friedman is also a well-known expert in the field of information security and cyber-security, formerly Research Director for the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution, and currently Visiting Scholar at George Washington University's Cyber Security Policy Research Institute. In other words, this is an authoritative text. In Cybersecurity and Cyberwar, Singer and Friedman attempt to fill this worrisome knowledge gap. The book is divided into three sections: “How it All Works,” “Why it Matters...

...| Outsourcing your Privacy | | | 4/20/2014 | Business Law Final | | Perhaps BPO is more of a threat than the NSA, when it comes to Privacy! | Outsourcing your Privacy Business Law Final Webster’s dictionary defines privacy as freedom from unauthorized intrusion. The meaning of what privacy is to an extent is driven by the society and its moral norms. Reasonable expectations of privacy in public places must change as our social environment changes. As moral and social norms change in a society the expectation from an individual towards society changes and thereby the individual’s privacy values. For example, slavery was an accepted practice in the late 19th century; today it’s not in practice. In the current information technology age, when an individual submits his personal information for purchasing merchandise online, it is within his expectation that his personal information be protected by the website. In future with the increasing use of technology in the day to day activities, new issues of privacy will arise making today’s notions of privacy out of date. One such issue is the privacy of personal information in business process outsourcing. Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the process of contracting a specific business task to a third-party service provider. There are two categories of BPO. Back office outsourcing constitutes the outsourcing of internal business functions such as purchasing or billing. Front office outsourcing constitutes the outsourcing...

...HE, President Mwai Kibaki, presides over the official ground breaking of Konza Technology City. January 2013 2 0 1 7 1 2 Hon. Samuel L.Poghisio, EGH, MP Minister for Information and Communications Minister’s Statement Access to information is crucial to economic growth. Information and communications technology offer a powerful tool that, if deployed equitably, can ensure citizens are empowered and Government can deliver services more effectively. Information is vital for the efficient delivery of public and private sector product and services that are responsive to the needs of citizens and businesses as well as capacity creation. For a variety of reasons (economic and policy), developing countries like Kenya are less equipped to take advantage of the potential in ICT to stimulate growth, and are likely to fall behind advanced economies. The Kenya ICT Master Plan is therefore not designed in isolation, given that there is evidence from developed countries that investment in ICT facilitates economic growth by increasing productivity. As the Kenya Government ensures an enabling ICT environment and regulatory framework, this plan aims at stimulating the setup of ICT-related businesses to enhance employment creation. At the heart of this document is a strategic intent to develop a robust ICT sector that will enhance economic growth through creation of businesses and hence employment. In the execution of this plan, Kenya will become a leading ICT hub...

...Course Project Parts 1-3 ITT Technical Institute GE 273 Microeconomics How outsourcing affects the US economy and contributes to political stability in developing economies is a matter of great debate. Many people think this practice will have an overall positive effect on the US economy, since it saves money for companies, opens up opportunities for greater entrepreneurship in the US, and leads to more Americans holding higher level jobs. Jobs that companies outsource to save money besides medical and manufacturing include copy writing jobs for publishing companies, administrative jobs, and data entry jobs for insurance companies. Critics suggest hiring foreign workers has an immediate effect on the US economy by stripping many Americans of jobs they would have performed, particularly by semi-skilled or skilled laborers. Further, many argue that giving jobs to workers in less developed countries improves those countries economically and increases trade for US products. It also increases a country’s ability to pay back debts to the US, and may promote better political relationships. Companies economically benefit by selling their products in other countries. This means they can hire more people in the US, lower their prices on products for US consumers. Comparative advantage and efficiency takes place when countries, individuals, and firms have lower opportunity costs in the production of a good or service with comparison to that of their competitors. This creates more...

...to outsource a service provider to do work for them. The process is what actually known as Business Process Outsourcing. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the contracting of a specific business function to a third-party service provider as a cost-saving measure of companies such as IT-related services, financial and administration (F&A) processes, human resources functions, call center and customer service activities and accounting or payroll. BPO is often divided into two categories: back office outsourcing which performs non-core processes that is actually necessary to a company but do not provide any intrinsic value to the company’s growth such as billing or purchasing; and front office outsourcing which inclined to performing core processes that directly benefit the organization in growing, generating revenue and establishing itself in the marketplace, included here are customer-related services such as marketing or tech support. Business Process Outsourcing is also distinct from where the external service provider locates. BPO that is contracted outside a company’s own country is known as offshore outsourcing while nearshore outsourcing happens when a company contracted a specific task to its neighbouring country and BPO that is contracted with company’s own country is being called onshore outsourcing. BPO is already recognized internationally. In fact, outsourcing has been around since the time of hunters and gatherers of the primitive society. Those who were...
