Session I: Information Security Standards In order to achieve information security an organization can adopt and decide to comply with a number of international standards such as ISO27001, BS7799, PCI/DSS and many more. However, which standard is really relevant and which standard would ensure better competitive advantage, return on investment or legal compliance? Is there any overlap between the standards? How to chose the right standard? And finally, how much will it cost to comply with the chosen standard? Those are just some of the questions that are going to be addressed in this workshop by Dr Graziano. Also, in this workshop the author will share lessons learned from experience that will help organizations minimize costs and maximize the effectiveness of compliance efforts.

Finally, the authors will discuss a number of recommendations to help an organization prepare to deal with information security incidents and establish effective processes with clear responsibilities, competences and resources.

Session III: The Value of Technical Security Assessments Every organization needs to secure its infrastructure, computers and information. The level of security required will vary greatly depending on the established risk appetite and available resources. Regardless of how information security is achieved, there is only one way of ensuring the desired level of security and that is through a security assessment. In this workshop, the author will present different types of security assessments that organizations can choose from and how to get the best results. Specifically, the author will present and discuss common terms such as vulnerability assessment, penetration test, red team assessment, social engineering and advance persistent threat (APT). The workshop will also include a number of practical demonstrations to show the impact of a security assessment and how it can help an organization to achieve real security.

10:50 - 11:10	Session IV Speaker Choolwe Nalubamba Manager-Numbering & Naming
Session IV: A Zambian Road-Map Zambia is currently facing challenges posed by Cyber Criminals who are targeting companies holding sensitive and valuable financial data as well as Government Agencies. Barely one organisation will remain untouched by the increasing number of Cyber Attacks. In addition, consumers will be most probably exposed by the press to a number of “public incidents” which will contribute to disrupt the level of trust towards government agencies and the national economy. The Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA), will share with the audience visions and strategies in place to face such challenges.
