EVENT DESCRIPTIONThe MAAC was invited to participate in the Down Under Camp (DUC) 2017 hosted by the Malaysian Students’ Council of Australia (MASCA). The DUC was held at the KDU University College campus on 21 January 2017 (Saturday) and was well attended by 50 prospective students who will be furthering their studies in Australia in the upcoming semester commencing February 2017.
MAAC General Secretary, Raymond Tanuwidjaja represented the MAAC at the event in the “Aiming for the Southern Star” and “From Football to Footy” segment. These segments were meant to serve as a pre-departure briefing for students, helping them to adapt to the life abroad better. From the event, students had the opportunity to listen to former alumni of Australian universities sharing their experiences studying abroad in Australia. Raymond was also joined by fellow alumni Mr Nelson Gerrard, Mr Gabriel Oh and Mr Calvin Tan in the segments. Towards the end of the speeches, students were presented an opportunity to post questions via a Q&A session to the speakers. After a 2-hour session, the event concluded with MASCA presenting a token of appreciation to The MAAC and students returned home well-informed before embarking on their journey in Australia.

Seminar on Issues in Enterprise Security Management
2017-07-26 16:00 - 19:00 | PIKOM Training Centre, E-01-G, Empire Damansara, No 2, Jalan PJU 8/8A, Damansara Perdana 47820 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
EVENT DESCRIPTIONIn recent years the threat landscape to modern organizations has shifted dramatically. The range and the complexity of threats are increasing at such a rate that purely preventive measures will no longer be viable. In particular, the motivation of malicious attackers towards financial gain and away from ‘bragging rights’ has become apparent. As a result, ‘shotgun’ attacks that used to test large numbers of organizations for common vulnerabilities are being replaced by more selective strategies where individual “high-value” targets are pursued for longer periods of time. This presentation discusses trends in information security threats in the light of modern information security strategy. Key themes are information security culture, security risk management, etc.

Date
Wednesday 26 July 2017

Time
