Don't compromise security - Tsowaseb
As a child, Titus Tsowaseb always knew that security would be his chosen profession.
The Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) has many priorities and security is definitely at the top of the list.
Careers spoke to NSA security manager Titus Tsowaseb, who has been in the industry for over 24 years.
Tsowaseb was born and bred in Katutura. As a child he always knew the security of people would play a huge part in his life and fondly remembers the period of having been part of the first group tasked to escort Founding President Sam Nujoma.
He has been a protector and has now gone corporate with his calling.
Before his attachment to the NSA, Tsowaseb was a part of the Namport team, serving in the capacity of a deputy chief security officer.
The NSA and Namport are not so different when it comes to sensitivity around security.
“They are both sensitive about the safety and security of their staff and also the valuable information they handle and store.
“The environment that we are in is a competitive one and thus forces everyone to study and stay one step ahead.
“Important ingredients are honesty, integrity and firmness,” Tsowaseb says.
Educational journey
He holds a BTech in security risk management, which he completed at the University of South Africa.
He also boasts a national diploma in security risk management, and completed a management development programme with the University of Stellenbosch.
Tsowaseb has gone from strength to strength in the year he has served with the NSA.
“It is absolutely crucial for every company to have tight security, in order to ensure the safety of its people, the company and the nation,” he says.
The NSA has a vision of making sure that all data and statistics remain completely confidential and safe.
Tsowaseb is in charge of accomplishing this vision.
He is only one of three Namibians who are certified security management professionals, having obtained this certification from the International Security Management Institute (ISMI) in the United Kingdom.
He is proud to offer his expertise to his nation.
Tsowaseb takes massive pride in his work and does the best to ensure he delivers desirable services.
