fAt First Atlantic Cybersecurity Institute (facyber.com), we  offer nanodegree programs in the following areas:

  • Nanodegree in Cybersecurity Policy (NCYP)
  • Nanodegree in Cybersecurity Technology (NCYT)
  • Nanodegree in Cybersecurity Management (NCYM)
  • Nanodegree in Cybersecurity Intelligence & Digital Forensics (NCDF)

The duration is 7 days and requires successful completion of equivalent diploma program (see below). Each program stream costs $2900.  It requires attending one week live (physical) training in Lagos. This live program is available twice per year and is run by FACyber team.

 

  • Certificate in Cybersecurity Policy (CCYP): Certificate in Cybersecurity Policy deals with the policy analysis and implementation aspects of cybersecurity. It presents theory and topical issues, at government and enterprise levels, with both technical and managerial components in the fields of information systems security. The program helps learners develop skills on the policy, ethical, and legal issues associated with cybersecurity and information security.

Diploma in Cybersecurity Policy (DCYP) Capstone: This is a practical-oriented program where learners are tasked with developing solutions for a theoretical or real case cybersecurity policy issue with the guidance of a mentor. A project report is required at the end of the program.

 

  • Certificate in Cybersecurity Technology (CCYT): The Certificate in Cybersecurity Technology is designed to provide learners with skills to analyze multi-faceted complex cybersecurity issues, develop capabilities to make strategic decisions to protect organizations from threats and become competent cybersecurity professionals.

Diploma in Cybersecurity Technology (DCYT) Capstone: This is a practical-oriented program where learners are tasked with developing capabilities in the core technical aspect of cybersecurity. Learners will have access to some tools and equipment to work throughout this program. A project report is required at the end of the program.

 

  • Certificate in Cybersecurity Management (CCYM): The Certificate in Cybersecurity Management equips and prepares learners with modern skills to become effective managers across the broad nexus of cybersecurity and intrusion preventions in organizations. The central core is developing capacity to prevent anticipated cyber intrusions, using experiences to mitigate future threats, and formulating and implementing enterprise-level cybersecurity roadmaps. The program also explores the roles of regulation, policy developments, legal instruments and civil liberties.

 Diploma in Cybersecurity Management (DCYM) Capstone: This is a practical-oriented program where learners are tasked with developing cybersecurity project management capabilities with the guidance of a mentor. Here, learners develop cybersecurity implementation frameworks. A project report is required at the end of the program.

 

  • Certificate in Cybersecurity Intelligence & Digital Forensics (CCDF): The Certificate in Cybersecurity Intelligence & Digital Forensics is structured to provide modern skills to those interested in digital forensics, digital intelligence and uncovering digital evidence. The program equips learners with broad analytical frameworks and prepares them to become competent cyber investigators.

Diploma in Cybersecurity Intelligence & Digital Forensics (DCDF) Capstone: This is a practical-oriented program where learners are tasked with developing capabilities in digital forensics, digital evidence and digital intelligence. Learners will have access to some tools and equipment to work throughout this program. A project report is required at the end of the program.

The paradox of human longevity escape velocity

In 1900, the average American lived for less than 50 years. Over the last century, improvements in medicine and public health have contributed to a steady increase in life expectancy. Life expectancy at birth is now 76 for men and 81 for women.

The increase in longevity has been so consistent that it’s permeated actuarial science for life insurance and annuities. The Society of Actuaries has for many years incorporated an assumption that longevity will keep improving over time.

Data over the last five years, however, indicates that this trend may be decelerating, and 2016 saw a rare decrease in life expectancy. Talented entrepreneurs seem undaunted! The fact that the U.S. life insurance industry collected $151.4B in premiums in 2015 has a number of them (including SoFi) extremely focused!

Finally, some futurists such as Aubrey de Grey believe that we don’t need coverage, we will continue chipping away at the aging process until we reach “longevity escape velocity” and live to 1,000. Aubrey does, however, fail to point out how to deal with the dodgy Salmon Mousse you might get served at a holiday dinner party.

Zenvus is presented to Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development

Zenvus has been presented to Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The Director of Soil Fertility in the ministry received Zenvus and the ministry is adopting the sensor for its farm fertility activity across Nigeria. Zenvus has a GPS engine which makes it easy to know the exact location where the sample is taken.

Zenvus is an intelligent solution for farms that uses proprietary electronic sensors to collect soil data like moisture, nutrients, temperature, pH etc. It subsequently sends the data to a cloud server via GSM, satellite or Wifi. Algorithms in the server analyze the data and advise farmers on what, how and when to farm. As the crops grow, the system deploys hyper- spectral cameras to build crop normalized difference vegetative index which is helpful in detecting drought stress, pests and diseases on crops. The data generated is aggregated, anonymized and made available via subscription for agro-lending, agro-insurance, commodity trading to banks, insurers and investors. Zenvus also has a mapping feature which can help a farmer map the farm boundary with ease.

The mission of Zenvus is to eliminate extreme poverty in emerging world especially Africa by improving crop yield and overall farming productivity. It brings the fusion of electronics and analytics to empower farmers.

 

 

Telcos partner to launch mobile money system, mCash, in Nigeria

All the leading telcos in Nigeria have joined together to launch a mobile payment system called mCash.

The solution designed to facilitate low-value retail payments, grow e-payments by providing accessible electronic channels to a wider range of users and to further enhance financial inclusion in Nigeria, by extending e-payment benefits to Payers and Merchants at the bottom of the pyramid where usage of cash has been predominant.

The solution proposes to aid payments to Merchants (Sellers) for commodities and services. It leverages the NIBSS Instant Payments infrastructure (NIP) for immediate fund delivery to Merchants accounts and the mobile telephone USSD technology which in recent times has become the most accessible channel for financial and non-financial transactions.

Financial Institutions have a choice of allowing their respective customers to access this new service with the mCASH general short code 402 or with their own custom short codes. Either way there are no USSD charges to pay.

It works on all networks.

With the aim of stimulating Africa’s largest economy, the African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a $600 million loan for Nigeria on Wednesday.

According to a Reuters report, the loan will be part of a larger $1 billion stimulus package. In order to qualify for the remaining $400 million, however, Nigeria will have to implement fiscal reforms, Ousman Dore, the AfDB Nigeria director, disclosed.

“The economic recovery plan that the government is working on must be a package of comprehensive reforms, including even exchange rate policy, the consistency with regards to the monetary policy and structural reforms,” Mr. Dore said.

He explained that if Nigeria implements such reforms, the remaining $400 million could be approved by the bank early next year.

Nigeria entered a recession in August of this year, largely due to its overdependence on crude oil, the price of which has been plummeting since 2014.
