By Alison Kadangwe, Project Manager at Change Logic Every business reaches a point where informal coordination is no longer enough. When a company is small, people can make decisions quickly, everybody tends to know what everybody else is doing and, when something new needs to happen, someone usually takes responsibility and gets it done. There may be no formal project structure around the work, but with a small enough team and strong enough individuals, the business can still execute successfully. The difficulty comes as the business grows and the work becomes more complex. There are more people involved, more dependencies…

Companies need protection from internal AI agents and autonomous systems, says Allan Juma, Lead Cybersecurity Engineer at ESET AI adoption is outpacing internal security governance, leaving Kenyan organisations exposed to both old and unpatched vulnerabilities alongside a new, AI-driven attack surface. Every AI agent, tool and assistant adopted by the business creates another doorway for potential access and Gartner now names agentic oversight as the single most important cybersecurity trend of 2026. The visible edge of this risk is already well known with investment scams built on deepfake videos, phishing and impersonation. The Nomani investment scam, for example, has grown…

By Bryan Hamman, Area Vice President, Africa at NETSCOUT Enterprises are moving quickly from using AI to analyse operations, to applying it to make operational decisions. What began as advisory analytics has rapidly evolved into closed-loop control systems, with automated remediation, policy enforcement and real-time routing decisions executing in seconds, often without human intervention. As a result, before expanding AI-driven operations, executives should pressure-test readiness with some key questions. The shift of AI making recommendations for operational decisions to making those operational decisions, changes the stakes significantly. Once AI enters the operational control loop, it is more than an analytical…

Inspire the world and create the future, For Samsung, this vision has shaped the company for decades. The Samsung story began in 1938, with Samsung Electronics being established in 1967. From its early days in electronics, the company has grown into a global technology business spanning smartphones, TVs, home appliances, displays, semiconductors, wearables and artificial intelligence.

The growth has been driven by both of Bolt Send’s delivery categories. The two-wheel motorcycle category, reclassified as a distinct product in February 2026, grew…

A new Web3 Foundation study of six evidence-based model households in the United Kingdom and United States found that it may take up to 10 full working days to read the privacy policies, terms, notices and supporting documents linked to one ordinary modelled digital day. Across the six scenarios, researchers identified 1,195 relevant documents containing more than 5.38 million words. Depending on the modelled household, simply reading the material linked to one ordinary day would require between 37 and 83 hours, or 4.6 to 10.4 full workdays. The largest reading burden was found in the modelled UK family scenario, where…

Yes. Kenyan investors who already hold USDT generally have two routes. The first is to use an eligible platform that accepts USDT as funding for real U.S.-listed shares. The second is to convert USDT to fiat and fund a conventional international broker. Key Takeaways What Does “Buying US Stocks With USDT” Actually Mean? The phrase covers two funding paths. Both can end in real U.S. equity exposure, but they differ in cost, speed and the providers involved. Route 1: Use USDT to Fund Purchases of Real Shares The investor transfers USDT into a stock-account balance, where it becomes buying power.…
