First of all, I would like to congratulate my friend, mr geek00l and mel (I believe he is one of the brains behind the company as well ) on the establishment of their new company Defcraft SDN. BHD. Well we can call them the young technopreneur and of cause professionally, Defcraft will become one of the competitors for the company that I work currently as well. Anyway I wish them all the best and a very good luck. Competition aside, they still one of my friends in this industry and I still hope that we still can share few things tho

Well I guess in this industry, the best way is to share our knowledge, skills and methodologies to fend off any cyber attacks and the emerging of new threats and attack trends. IMHO, nowadays the main worry is how can we really mitigate the client side attacks. BOTnets are becoming more and more serious, when usually we just gathered few eggdrops to dos certain users in IRC channels, then it evolves to perform a larger scale of attacks to the IRC servers as well, and I do believe this kind attacks have financial motivation behind it. Now, with the emergence of RBN model, these bots are more than an attack tool but it become as advertising tool in form of spamming and others. And yes, nowadays it is totally about money.

I used to agree that we should educate the managers instead of users but now, I think we need to educate both of them. Policies will become useless when nobody appears to adhere them. So for that I do believe we, the so called security professionals need to work together in order to at least minimize the impact or mitigate the risk of this type of attacks. Possible?

On the other hand, my company seems to perform some good exercise which will make certain quaters of the stakeholders more than happy. Even though personally I am not affected by this exercise but I do welcome it as it shows that the wind of change finally arrived

Again congratulations to my friends and perhaps someday we can have TT together eh?
