The phrase ‘soft skills’ is often used to describe the skills which characterise relationships and other peo-ple, or how you approach interactions.
For many people, the so-called soft skills are often some of the most diffi cult skills to develop. Job-relat-ed expertise (hard skills) are essential in any profes-sion. However, over the last 10 years, understanding has grown that perhaps soft skills may ultimately be more important in determining levels of success.
Hard skills are a basic minimum necessity in order to operate in a particular workplace. Whether or not you are successful in your career may depend on how de-veloped your soft skills are.

01WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CYBER LAW AND CYBER CRIME
Cyber law refers to the area of law that regulates how people use the internet and internet-related technologies. Cybercrime describes both crimes directed at computers, data or information communication technology (ICT), and crimes committed by people using computers or ICT. Cybercrime may be committed against an individual or a group; it can also be committed against government and private organizations.
03WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DATA SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION
Although the rise of the internet and digital revolution holds many benefi ts, generally people do not necessarily stop to consider the extent and scope of what their digital activity may reveal about them and whether such personal information is safely stored and protected, or how such information is used. After all, the identity of data collectors engaging in the collection, processing, usage and storage of personal information is not always identifi able and many consumers unassumingly click “accept” when an online terms and condition page pops up.
02HOW CYBERCRIME IS REGULATED IN SOUTH AFRICA
To date, the South African legal framework regulating cybercrimes has consisted of various pieces of legislation and our common law. Unfortunately, these often fall short of eff ectively regulating the complex world of cybercrime. This has necessitated the need for a consolidated framework to address cybersecurity and to criminalize cybercrimes specifi cally. The Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill (“Cybercrimes Bill”) is in the process of being enacted and passed into law and has been introduced to assist in providing such a framework for combating computer-related crimes and improving the cybersecurity of South African citizens.
04THREATS TO DATA SECURITY
Although there are many advantages, there are also areas for concern and/or risks that need to be considered when participating in the digital arena. While the internet and the digital economy present a signifi cant opportunity for businesses to market and sell their products and services, as well as being a convenient tool for users to access these products and services, it is also an enabling platform for criminal activity, such as online fraud, digital identity theft and data breaches.

THREATS TO DATA SECURITY
THE BENEFITS OF
ONLINE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Forget about attending classes for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, and suffering from back pain by the end of the day. You will not be bound to physical class sessions when you opt for online education. All learning materials are provided online, so you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your offi ce or home.
COMFORT
A self-paced system enables learners to make progress with a rhythm that suits them. This does not require attending live sessions; you can access the materials at any time that works for you. If you have to work or take care of your home and children during the day, you can study at night. That’s an advantage the traditional educational system cannot beat.
SELF-PACED LEARNING
The fact that online programs are cheaper when compared to the ones held in a traditional campus setting is enough to convince you to consider them. The average tuition for online courses depends on multiple factors, so it varies from one program to another. Note, free courses don’t usually come with a certifi cate of completion.
LOWER COSTS
It doesn’t matter where your career stands at this moment; completed programs will always look good on your résumé. It will show potential employers that you’re committed to learning and that you’re eager to obtain more knowledge and new skills. You will certainly become a better candidate for a job promotion.
