. • Involved in: – Out-reach to protect children from the internet – Developing a tool (Saher) to monitor the national network for vulnerabilities and infections – Creating a system of audits which pro-actively makes the whole economy of Tunisia more resilient against cyberattacks – Organizing events to inform and sensitize the population of Tunisia Technical dimension of the problem • Lesson from the past: – Security should not be added retro-actively, but part of the original design • Fundamental tension between functionality and security • There is no known completely safe protocol: – One key is the human factor (NANOG, Security operators, etc..) – They explain why the system still works despite all its flaws and weaknesses … Getting out of the “Pay today or pay tomorrow” dilemma • Cybersecurity is not cheap, but ignoring it can cost dearly • Security industry is (so far) our only line of defense but it is also for profit • The extension of cybersecurity to the developing world also means revisiting some fundamentals of the economics of cybersecurity • Free or open source security tools are not on a par with commercial tools, today, but could become so tomorrow… A good idea for developing countries: Build National CERTs • National CERT should be: – the centralized repository of knowledge for the country (should be able to advise the government as well as private interests) – Coordinate the establishment of the cyberdefense at the national level (regulation, monitor the distribution of security tools and their upgrade, being able to clean the equivalent of conficker infection,…) – Stay abreast with the fast changing world of cybersecurity (collaboration with nations in similar situations • Does not need to start very large, as long as the nations organizes itself to have access to adequate technical expertise in case of emergency. • Learning by doing an important component • Ask the Tunisians… In fact does not mean what it seems. (...) Remarks • The Trojan used in that case was not detected by the major antivirus software • A new Trojan can be made specifically for such an attack and be completely invisible to antivirus software • Only skillful administrators could detect its presence early Encryption • One interesting and minimally explored aspect of Conficker is its • early and sophisticated adoption of binary encryption, digital signatures, • and advanced hash algorithms to prevent third-party hijacking of the • infected population. • In evaluating this mechanism, we find that the Conficker authors have devised a sophisticated encryption protocol that is generally robust to direct attack. – All three crypto-systems employed by Conficker's authors (RC4, RSA, and MD-6) also have one underlying commonality.

  Achieving Sustainable Development Through Geospatial Information | United Nations Development Progra

Societies and their governments now require the right geospatial information and tools to respond to the national agenda and achieve sustainable development. (...) The GASGI assesses the areas by creating surveys of interest that capture relevant data using the latest in modern technology equipment, ranging from sonar, drones, and other sophisticated tools to measure the land and its impact on the environment.  (...) The UNDP expertise has allowed for more accurate data measurements to gather using sophisticated tools and protocols and compiled via the formulation of the logical framework to set results and guide implementation.

The most recent trends include advanced tools such as sophisticated data analytics, automated decision-making systems, machine learning systems, and artificial intelligence. In the context of welfare administration, we focus on two common purposes for the use of such automated tools. First, we refer to digital tools that practitioners use to shape social policies, such as the generation of evidence and conducting risk assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and other tailored policy formation-related tasks.

Designing new interaction spaces through the UN Innovation Toolkit Two tools from the UN Innovation Toolkit – the  Innovation Storytelling  tool and the Embrace Failures tool – helped my teammates and I through the creative and innovation process that led to the launch of the “ Fireside Chats with IFAD Leaders” initiative . (...) Our previous point brings us to the second tool, Embrace Failures . We wanted the Chats to provide a comfortable and safe space where we could discuss people’s career development, achievements, success stories and experiences. (...) The Innovation Storytelling tool was particularly useful as it helped us identify the characteristics of our audience and select the appropriate communication method, channels and frequency of communication.
