IT Security Training

Here is spam I received today from someone claiming to be in my neighborhood – I never knew Malaysia was so close :) The message came from raj@allasiatalk.com with the subject header: Safe your Privacy with a Minimal Investment and was addressed to 133 other people!

It’s an advertisement for an information security seminar and security exam and runs 3000 Malaysian ringgits or in US Dollars, that’s $903.

Dear Fellow Friends,

I am a friend from your neighborhood, who is interested in protecting your privacy in today’s technology. We are in a network world where everyone can access anyone in internet, whether you like it or not that is the reality you have to accept. Have you notice that internet is the information and communication bridge for the world today.

Do you think Internet is safe to use?

Did this question ever triggered you mind?

1) Can people access my online Banking Account and withdraw my money without my knowledge?

2) Can people access my computer and grab my data from my computer?

3) Can people tap in to my mobile conversation?

Do you think this is possible?

Yes, today’s technology it’s possible

This means that, it’s not safe to keep valuable information in my computer

Don’t Worry Asiatalk is here to enlighten you on the safety of your electronic privacy.

PREVENTIVE IS BETTER THEN CURE

In this workshop we will walk you through how an intruder can grab your data and misuse this information. With this demo we will guide you on how to prevent this from happening. With this knowledge you will be prepared to attend the ISEC Exam, certifying you as an IT Security Executive World Wide.

We would like to invite you and your associates to benefit this workshop with a very minimum investment for a maximum prevention. The target audiences for this program are people who are concern on their privacy while using internet, people who wants to know more about technology and company who want to protect their internal information.

We offer our services to organizations that will benefit from our expertise and knowledge. Our team expects that our partners will use what we offer to develop their business and to enhance the quality of life.

Why Professional Certification?

Certification is one of the most important ways of promoting and recognizing a highly skilled workforce. Certification objectives include:
• To address labor shortages and attract new workers.
• To assist and improve labor mobility. Certified workers can move throughout the working world with recognized skills and credentials.
• To improve quality of work. Certification means that one’s expertise and abilities meet or exceed the standard, thus improving on the overall quality of effort.
• To improve customer or visitor experiences.
• To assist with the measurement of prior learning and experience. During the certification process, a candidate’s experience and abilities are measured against the National Occupational Standards.
• To provide recognition for skills and competent workers. Certification is an industry-led model to recognize competent professionals.

The simple answer is that to remain as competitive as possible today, you must be certified. The bar has been raised in the security profession and employers, contractors, governments, and even clients are now taking additional steps to ensure that they are hiring or working with the most skilled and knowledgeable individuals in the business. Professional certifications offer a screening tool — one that has the backing and credibility of the preeminent professional society in the world for those who are responsible for security.
