Africa has the world's oldest record of human technological achievement: the oldest stone tools in the world have been found in eastern Africa, and later evidence for tool production by our hominin ancestors has been found across Sub-Saharan Africa. The history of science and technology in Africa since then has, however, received relatively little attention compared to other regions of the world, despite notable African developments in mathematics, metallurgy, architecture, and other fields. The Last Digital Frontier Book tells a long-overdue and timeless story of the rise of mankind in Africa, uncovers inventions and innovations across the continent throughout time, and paints a forecast of its digital revolution in the 21st century and beyond. The Last Digital Frontier Book provides a compelling historic and forward-looking exploration of "the last digital frontier" of access and inclusion, Africa, and its potential to lead, host, and create the innovation breakthroughs of the future.

The global web and its digital ecosystem can be seen as tools of emancipation, communication, and spreading knowledge or as means of control, fueled by capitalism, surveillance, and geopolitics. The Digital Frontier interrogates the world wide web and the digital ecosystem it has spawned to reveal how their conventions, protocols, standards, and algorithmic regulations represent a novel form of global power. Sangeet Kumar shows the operation of this power through the web's "infrastructures of control" visible at sites where the universalizing imperatives of the web run up against local values, norms, and cultures. These include how the idea of the "global common good" is used as a ruse by digital oligopolies to expand their private enclosures, how seemingly collaborative spaces can simultaneously be exclusionary as they regulate legitimate knowledge, how selfhood is being redefined online along Eurocentric ideals, and how the web's political challenge is felt differentially by sovereign nation states. In analyzing this new modality of cultural power in the global digital ecosystem, The Digital Frontier is an important read for scholars, activists, academics and students inspired by the utopian dream of a truly representative global digital network.
This volume presents international research and exhaustive reviews of literature on a range of issues related to the evolving digital environment. With the growing trend for digital-only access to information, this volume makes an important contribution in both highlighting problems and challenges, and pointing to pathways for future solutions.

"The charge of securing corporate America falls upon its business leaders. This book, offered by Ernst & Young and written by Mark Doll, Sajay Rai, and Jose Granado, is not only timely, but comprehensive in outlook and broad in scope. It addresses many of the critical security issues facing corporate America today and should be read by responsible senior management." --Former Mayor of New York, Rudolph W. Giuliani "To achieve the highest possible level of digital security, every member of an organization's management must realize that digital security is 'baked in,' not 'painted on.'" --from Defending the Digital Frontier: A Security Agenda Like it or not, every company finds itself a pioneer in the digital frontier. And like all frontiers, this one involves exploration, potentially high returns . . . and high risks. Consider this: According to Computer Economics, the worldwide economic impact of such recent attacks as Nimda, Code Red(s), and Sircam worms totaled $4.4 billion. The "Love Bug" virus in 2000 inflicted an estimated $8.75 billion in damage worldwide. The combined impact of the Melissa and Explorer attacks was $2.12 billion. Companies were hurt as much in terms of image and public confidence as they were financially. Protecting the "digital frontier" is perhaps the greatest challenge facing business organizations in this millennium. It is no longer a function of IT technologists; it is a risk management operation requiring sponsorship by management at the highest levels. Written by leading experts at Ernst & Young, Defending the Digital Frontier: A Security Agenda deconstructs digital security for executive management and outlines a clear plan for creating world-class digital security to protect your organization's assets and people. Achieving and defending security at the Digital Frontier requires more than just informed decision-making at the top level. It requires a willingness to change your organization's mindset regarding security. Step by step, Defending the Digital Frontier shows you how to accomplish that. With detailed examples and real-world scenarios, the authors explain how to build-in the six characteristics that a world-class digital security system must possess. You must make your system: * Aligned with the organization's overall objectives. * Enterprise-wide, taking a holistic view of security needs for the entire, extended organization. * Continuous, maintaining constant, real-time monitoring and updating of policies, procedures, and processes. * Proactive to effectively anticipate potential threats. * Validated to confirm that appropriate risk management and mitigation measures are in place. * Formal, so that policies, standards, and guidelines are communicated to every member of the organization. An intrusion is bound to occur to even the most strongly defended systems. Will your organization be prepared to react, or lapse into chaos? Defending the Digital Frontier introduces the Restrict, Run, and Recover(r) model that guides organizations in formulating and implementing a clear, enterprise-wide, Agenda for Action to anticipate, detect, and react effectively to intrusions. You will learn how to roll out an effective Security Awareness and Training Program, establish Incident Response procedures, and set in place Digital Security Teams to control damage and manage risk in even worst-case scenarios. The digital threat knows no borders and honors no limits. But for the prepared organization, tremendous rewards await out on the digital frontier. By strengthening collective digital security knowledge from the top down and developing a rock-solid, comprehensive, on-going security agenda, every organization can build a secure future. Defending the Digital Frontier will get you there.
