Cyber Security

The amount of public data contained in cyberspace is growing fast and it is becoming difficult for organisations to manually detect and handle all of the relevant information. In order to help organizations understand and manage digital risk, detect unwanted material that appears on the Internet and make decisions based on the domain of structured and unstructured information, NRD cyber security team (hereinafter - NRD CS) is strengthening its expertise in the field of digital surveillance.

Norway Registers Development East Africa limited (NRD EA) (formerly 360° Smart Consulting Ltd.) works in the field of security for digital environment as a local branch of a Norwegian company, Norway Registers Development AS. The company takes the best of Norwegian IT sector know-how and combines it with the knowledge of Tanzanian business environment and its needs. NRD EA provides tailor-made professional services that include but are not limited to cyber defence, IT infrastructure and resilience, IS governance and IT governance services.
 

In addition, NRD EA is actively involved in the improvement of business climate in the East African Community. Furthermore, the company assists other organisations investing in East Africa in the creation, development, maintenance and security of their information technology infrastructure.

 On the 12th of November NRD CS brought together scientists, investigators, and representatives from law enforcement agencies, banks and corporate organisations for a discussion about their digital surveillance and analysis needs, initiation of partnerships and presentation of S21sec's Digital Surveillance technology, which provides detection, recovery, filtering, analysis and management of corporate information. This S21sec's platform aims to support decision-making to protect organization's assets through the domain of information and early warning, filtering based on language processing and custom dashboards.

In government institutions analysis of publicly available information (government reports, budgets, meeting minutes, newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, websites, blogs, forums, social networks, etc.) is often referred to as open source intelligence (OSINT). Mature business organizations also use digital surveillance instruments for reputation management, business intelligence, market and competition analysis, intellectual property and brand protection as well as monitoring of distribution channels.
