Two sessions complete. Only 1 session left of the Cybersecurity Introduction and awareness online training.

Today we covered types of hacking attacks and explained the idea behind them at a high level.

These hacking methods were covered:
- Spam
- Identity Theft
- Malicious Code
- Phishing
- Malware / Spyware
- DOS/DDOS
- Spoofing
- Ransomware

These protection measures were covered to mitigate risks of the above:
- Access Controls
- Communication Security
- Physical Security
- Information Systems Security
- Business Continuity
- Incident Reporting
- Legal Compliance

We then talked about how to be safe online and use appropriate Security Measure (particularly Facebook) to keep yourself from being a target of hacking practices mentioned above.

Next week we plan to cover a more technical overview of Cybersecurity and introduce some of the concepts that allow companies to keep their information safeguarded.

Thank you to the participants that attended today!

Till next weeeeeeeek!
Avinun na good night. ☺️

This is a classic example of what not to do when displaying information on a website. The call out is regarding the collections list on NID website where more information was published perhaps by mistake, than what was required.

They have now rectified the issue and all NID Serial Numbers are actually removed from the website - I seriously hope they thought to void the ones actually listed on this image as well!

This is where awareness becomes valuable. Know what your critical information is, define it and protect it, otherwise accidents like these will happen.

Air Niugini (ANG) recently announced the ability to use online payments tool PayPal to allow ANG customers to book flights online, however, there are limitations (i.e you cannot book flights originating from a PNG port, either international or domestic in nature).

We have come across an interesting article written for Skerah and thought to share it with you. You can read the full article here: https://skerah.com/it-social-media/10-things-you-must-know-about-paypal-papua-new-guinea-and-airline-tickets/

In short, key questions about using and/or exploring the use of PayPal in PNG, key findings you must know about PayPal, Papua New Guinea and the situation in using this method of payment when purchasing airline tickets (amongst other goods/services).

Yesterday, many Papua New Guineans welcomed the news that our national carrier Air Niugini now accepts PayPal and POLi to pay for airfares. There were, however, a handful of Papua New Guineans who raised an important issue and that was whether Papua New Guinea based PayPal account holders can now r

Something I've been curious about and wanting to learn more about is "trust". So I wanted to put a post on here about trust and ask the followers of this page. What does "trust" mean to you? How do you define it? And how do you know when your trust has been broken? Please comment down below and let me know. I wonder if we can all teach each other about trust by having an open conversation about it today.

Hello, I am the Founder of Kumul Goals and it is so nice to meet you!

I wanted to come on here and introduce myself.

NAME/BIO: Sylvia Semei, 29 Female
EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science - Extended Major in Information Systems
INDUSTRY: Management Consulting in ICT, Information Risks and Information Security
CURRENT PROFESSION: Senior Level Consultant in Management Consulting Division of Global Professional Services Firm
-
I was born in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and raised in mining towns across PNG and Australia, completing my secondary education with Port Augusta Secondary School and heading off to attend Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia. I had changed my degree a few times, worked 5 different jobs across the 7 years to complete that Bachelor of Science (extended major in Information Systems) degree at Flinders University.
-
During that time, I wore many hats; I was a sandwich artist, a waitress, a coffee maker, a Cybersecurity tutor for high school students, a systems administrator for a primary school, a cafe waitress and a university lecturer and tutor, all whilst completing a degree, paying my rent and bills and staying hydrated!
-
I was lucky enough to have been picked up by a global professional services firm, and landing myself a Graduate position within their Technology Risk & Assurance team.
-
Four years of being a female tech enthusiast and an IT Risk Consultant working in a challenging, highly rewarding environment, I have this belief that I am only beginning to understand the breadth of my knowledge and experience in the field. And I am so excited to see where this whole thing goes next!
