Iraq sets sights on e-commerce opportunities

Naeem Al-Rubaie, speaking during the high-level event on e-commerce and the
digital economy in Baghdad on 28 July
Iraq is laying the
foundations for e-commerce as it rebuilds its infrastructure after years of
violence, government officials said during a high-level dialogue on e-commerce
and the digital economy on 28 July in Baghdad.
The event kickstarted
weeklong consultations that are part of UNCTAD’s assessment of the country’s
readiness to engage in e-commerce, the first such exercise in a non-least
developed country.
Nearly 100 people drawn from
Iraq’s public and private sectors exchanged views on how to overcome the
challenges that hinder e-commerce in the war-affected country.
Cybersecurity Pros Name Their Price as Hacker Attacks Swell
By.Anders Melin
It took a $650,000 salary
for Matt Comyns to entice a seasoned cybersecurity expert to join one of
America’s largest companies as chief information security officer in 2012. At
the time, it was among the most lucrative offers out there.
This year, the company had
to pay $2.5 million to fill the same role.
“It’s a full-on war for
cyber talent,” said Comyns, a managing partner at executive search firm
Caldwell Partners who specializes in information security. “CEOs know that, so
they play hardball. Everyone’s throwing money at this.”
The threat of digital
breaches -- and the fines, lawsuits and occasional executive resignations that
sometimes follow -- has left companies scrambling to scoop up scarce security
experts. The growing compensation packages and broadened responsibilities are a
dramatic shift for a group of workers who once confined to obscure IT
departments, little more than an afterthought to senior management.
