Circuit Run 2

Yahoo! I have got a free entry for KL International Marathon (KLIM) in the Circuit Run 2. This has been the most I have run (22.4km) after the 30km practice run organized by pacesetter since last year. Luckily the weather only turn to sunny after I completed the run as the test run lasts for 2 hours 15m which end at 9.45am. I have 3 weeks to catch up the training before the real battle really take place. Gosh! I can't imagine how I will suffer if I didn't run for at least two 30km before the KLIM.

Awareness

I always think that user education is the toughest part when come to security. I know lots of us are constantly asked by friends and family how they can keep their computers safe. Unless you have a ready made list it can be time consuming to give them all the tips they need. Well here is a pretty good list that you can give them and if they follow it they should be in pretty good shape. PC Magazine has a list of 72 Tips for Safer Computing that I wanted to point you to. Hope it helps.

Incident Response

It just happened that I involved in the incident response job recently. The incident is the breach of security. It is the responsibility of the security team to respond to the problem quickly and effectively. The response depends upon how the security team reacts, what they do to minimize damages, and when they restore resources, all while attempting to guarantee data integrity. None of us have the experience to deal with this case. But we have to face it.

Think of your organization and how almost every aspect of it relies upon technology and computer systems. If there is a compromise, imagine the potentially devastating results. Besides the obvious system downtime and theft of data, there could be data corruption, identity theft (from online personnel records), embarrassing publicity, or even financially devastating results as customers and business partners learn of and react negatively to news of a compromise.

The only way to stop a hacker is to think like one, time to think out of the box.

Family bonds!

Time flies. The Chinese New Year that I'm looking forward almost come to an end. It has been a wonderful Chinese New Year to me. Spend some precious time with my family and friends. Bravo that I manage to complete the so called rat track in the first day of the lunar year of Rat. It is just crazy and you will never love it. Spin the track until I almost fainted. Anyway, it is a good way to measure the distance if you didn't lost count the number of loop you have run.

The month of Aquarius and Pisces

On this day, one of the determined runner in Bukit Jalil park some say Bukit Aman, is born. Sorry to go over big with myself. Anyway, thanks for all the birthday wishes from all my friends and family members.
By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year.
