“We
are reviewing the policy to help our officials acquaint with ICT and
you need to know that at the moment many of our websites are never
updated,” he said.For his part, the director of Twiga Hostings
Limited, Mr Jacob Urassa, the host of the two-day training programme,
said they were determined to make Tanzania a hub of online security that
would allow players to enjoy surfing without fear.
“Nowadays we
come across a number of cases related to hacking, but with such training
we want to see foreigners coming to the country to purchase such
software,” he noted.According to Mr Urassa, 80 per cent of internet users in the world are prone to hackers.The
two-day training workshop brought together webmasters and online
