Martin Halloran, Oceania Senior Manager, Group Security:
'Curreritly, we are concerned with fraud control, as we have recently issued Visa
cards to our clients. Even though we have a dedicated, alert staff, you can never
be too aware, so we are constantly pursuing new tools and tricks to bring
security to the attention of people.'
Lee Tze Ming, Regional Security Manager, Asia:
Debbie Lewis, Regional Security Officer, the Americas
'We are the pilot office for the single sign-on project, so I hope to share the
pros and cons with my international colleagues. We also recently
implemented a very successful tooi for security awareness on our intranet - it's
a humorous, animated film showing users the best practices they should
follow for information, e-mail and physical security.'
Thomas H. Eekels, Local Security Officer, Utrecht:
'Security awareness is a main issue for the 2005 Utrecht security initiative.
Many people do not realise that security policies are ultimately for their
benefit. I am developing a campaign to use intranet, posters, screen savers,
cartoons, and the like to make the message more enjoyable.'
Mark Jacob, Information Systems Security Officer, Europe:
'One of my biggest fears is that we fall victim to what we call a "zero-day attack,"
where we are the unfortunate first recipiënt of some new malicious code or
virus. To mitigate this, we are taking measures so that if one infiltrates our
network, it is quickly detected and contained before it spreads anywhere else.'
'We have implemented a successful approach to enhance responsibility towards
security; a security course followed by a multiple-choice test. Mock security
attacks are also used during the course to demonstrate how vulnerable we are
and this helps staff to take security more seriously.'
