IET Brunei
Darussalam Network and CyberSecurity
Malaysia, collaborated in creating
awareness on the importance of security
when being in the internet, for both
professionals and general public.
The morning session was mostly meant for
professionals. The speaker, Mr Mohd
Nasir, presented most of the
terminologies in internet safety and
security. He also focused on how hackers
and unscrupulous individuals and group
of individuals can take advantage of our
ignorance and naivety of the internet.
Mr Nasir's talk was more on how hackers,
criminals and fraudsters use technology
to achieve their evil objectives.
Professionals would appreciate his talk
as it will give them a deeper and wider
appreciation on internet/information
security/safety.
The afternoon session, conducted by Mr
Noor Iskandar, focused more for general
public who are internet users, but not
technical people. It could be school
kids to adults. The focus of the talk
would be less on technology, and more on
the human factor. This is where
criminals would take advantage of our
natural shortcomings, such as need to
belong to a certain group or people,
need to be known, greedy and
gullibleness. The talk also provides the
audience on simple tricks and tips on
how to avoid being a victim of these
unscrupulous people.
