Results of an informal TechRepublic survey show that

major issue for the respondents, few companies have actually implemented
policies to address the problem. (courtesy of TechRepublic)
PDA is not designed with security in mind. Until now, not many users and vendors know this is very important. There are a tremendous number of federal and enterprise Palm(TM) / PDA handheld computer users...Once the Palm handheld was found, by an unauthorized user or, even worse, by some ``bad guys'', they would have access to all the information on the Palm handheld... There are only a few software products. See some products information here. See the F-Secure Palm Virus Info Centre below.

DDOS?
Recently several large e-commerce
sites were attacked and temporally disabled with a type of Internet based denial of
service attacks. These large scale or Distributed Denial of Service attacks was able to
prevent legitimate users from accessing Internet based services. Asia Pacific e-commerce is expected to reach US$1
trillion by 2003. However, e-commerce companies have to prevent service outages due to
DDoS if customers are to be expected to use the site.
These DDoS attacks can be very frustrating for traditional
security organisation because they cannot be prevented by firewalls.

Service Attacks are Orchestrated

Business Continuity Best Practice

annually reviews the business continuity program.
2. The responsibility for business continuity rests with a top executive.
3. A distince staff, with associated budget, performs the business continuity activities.
4. The business continuity function spans all aspects of the organisation.
5. Business continuity planning is a continuous process within the organization.
6. The organization maintains a comprehensive backup policy that includes all vital
records.
7. Recovery strategies are in place and are based upon the impact that the loss of a
business process would have upon the organization.
8. A recovery strategy-testing program is in place.
9. The recovery manual that documents the program is reasonably curent and available under
all circumstances. The document is so structured so that an outside technical expert,
unfamiliar with the organization could execute technical recovery strategies.

What is the basic ethical standards of a IT Security Officer and the external Security Consultant??
Looking for hot IT
Security jobs? (For my friends
and readers)
What experience and qualification would be required for a security post? Why it is so
difficult to find an experience security employee in Hong Kong? Are the personnel agents
do not know the requirements or do not know what knowledge should be obtained for being a security pro? These are the questions need
to be considered. In the coming articles, I will address the basic requirement of being a
security professional and why it so hard to find these candidates.
Perhaps the most important elements in successful
careers in the security field are a commitment to lifelong learning and an
interdisciplinary, wide-ranging curiosity. Security is an interesting field because it
can benefit from so many different disciplines, including not only technical fields but
also aspects of the human side of security.
