If you thought only Safaricom has an interesting reward offer for those who meet their daily set expenditure targets, think again – because Airtel Kenya’s Shikisha Story might just blow your mind. It’s exciting to see how mobile service providers can go head-to-head with similar reward offerings with somewhat huge margins in between. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of Airtel Kenya, especially since they ended their real unlimited data that wasn’t throttled after surpassing a certain limit, but their bonus offering in comparison with Safaricom, I’d say they have a good case to convince most Kenyan’s at least to test their services.

As the benefits of information technology become obvious, the risks can easily be ignored and businesses leave themselves vulnerable from attack on an increasing number of fronts, not just online, but through Bluetooth and wireless as well as the use of hardware other than the standard computer devices such as company laptops, smartphones and televisions.

That said, the more astute businesses, the ones worth watching, take these threats seriously which means that cyber security jobs are now some of the most desirable positions around. The good thing is that the businesses that do want to reduce the risk of hacks or data breaches know the value of a good candidate and are prepared to offer appropriate rewards for the same.
