Hackers can be thwarted, says expert

This is the message from eData Solutions Botswana manager, Simbarashe Marima. “We have been lagging behind on education and appreciation of cyber threats in our region. In our opinion this comes as a wake-up call for the business community to ensure that their critical information is secured at all cost,” he told Mmegi.

Marima said as the nation embraced and enjoyed the Internet it should also appreciate inherent risks in the technology. He said too many companies underestimated the potential risk that came with the Internet.
