Survey of Cyber Security Frameworks
(International Journal of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering, 2014-06-28) Wechuli, Alice Nambiro; Muketha, Geoffrey Muchiri; Matoke, Nahason
In a digital world, the national economy and welfare have grown critically dependent on the cyber infrastructure due to the capabilities and opportunities the Internet provides. This leaves organizations open to various forms of malicious attack by cybercriminals which has overwhelmed some current methodologies used for tracking cyber attacks and vulnerabilities. This paper presents a review of literature on cyber security status, challenges to cyber security, and existing cyber security frameworks. Findings indicate that though efforts are in place to bring about effective assessment of cyber security, there is no single accepted framework to offer a lasting solution to the cyber security assessment challenge.
Virtual reality in education: trends and issues
(International Journal of Computers & Technology, 2013) Omieno, Kelvin; Wabwoba, Franklin; Matoke, Nahason
Computer-mediated learning is becoming an increasingly common form of education in institutions of higher learning (IHL). Many IHL in developing nations, such as Kenya, have greatly experienced an increase in demand for higher education. On the other hand, the ability to connect people with required sets of skills, regardless of their location in the world has been enabled by advances in information technology over the past 20 years. Use of virtual learning systems (VLS) has rapidly emerged as a very promising technology that will probably match the innovation of technologies such as multimedia/hypermedia. These VLS have the potential to provide opportunities for active, flexible, and increasingly individualized learning experiences. It also explains virtual reality principle, describes the interactive educational environment, highlights the challenges higher education face in the traditional mode of delivery and discusses educational benefits of implementing virtual learning environments in IHL. The paper makes a number of recommendations for successful adoption of VLS in higher education
