Accra, Aug. 21, GNA -- The National Information Technology Agency (NITA) 
on Tuesday commenced training for Ministries, Department and Agencies 
(MDAs) on how to form Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) to 
provide security for government data.

The training is expected to empower and provide the MDAs with the 
necessary tools and step-by-step processes required to start their own 
CERTs.

Mr William Tevie, Director-General of NITA, speaking at the opening of a 
week-long workshop said, "We must be reminded that security is a process 
and we must be ready for possible attacks on our network." ....

Dr Quaynor noted that the youth with that expertise could also support 
in solving some of the technological challenges facing the nation.
