I have never met a lawyer so fluent in Linux commands and easy interpretation of technical terms to law. Pretty impressive I should say.
Explaining Docker containers to many is not a walk in the park usually.
Justice Lenaola: (R12) What activities were these? What was being deleted? What was being removed?
Denis Nkarichia: R12 is a series of commands that was firstly executed by the IEBC database manager… There are no records of file deletion or removal

My Understanding is this
Cyber Security = Protect, Detect, Respond
Cyber RESILIENCE= IDENTIFY, Protect, Detect, Respond, RECOVER
If you don't know how to detect possible threats, know how to treat them and a strategic laid down approach to RECOVERY, you WILL NOT STAND an attack

5 years experience for entry level.
Just like in Kenya, most Cyber Security jobs are asking for CISSP for an entry level
"There are nearly 600K unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. right now, and about 3.5M open roles globally, says Lisa Gevelber, Google’s chief marketing officer for the Americas"
This is because all the openings are entry level positions requiring 5 yrs experience.
