Week two

Task on 2nd until 21st Nov 2011,

Level 16, Network lab

Staff table

From 0800 until 1700

Everyday

Today I should meet my supervisor and report myself to him. However it quite funny because my supervisor should be relax and act calmly because he was so experienced in work and meeting people. However it differs, because he looks quite shock and little chaos. So, I made myself look very confident and he shown me my room. For a while, I've being place in the network room since a new staff will report on 15 Nov 2011. However in between this time I kept moving from one place to another because on the due date he entered he did not registered. Thus, I can say in this first month I became a nomadic people.

First task should be finished end of November.

Eight full ring file (with the largest size) add with the attachment to my e-mail it became nine ring file.

The task was:

Understanding the concept of system security or security process controlled by iP Security Office (iPSO). Which means iPSO is responsible to ensure all the company under PETRONAS to follow the baseline suggested. For example a form known as Exception Form is given / provided to any company that facing a problem mostly on security side or requesting for any project like configuration a routers and etc. However a justification will be suggested by the requested company itself and the form will be rechecked by the HOD before the form is accepted or rejected. Accepted and rejected of Exception Form is due to the time requested between six month until one year and other reason. Besides, a scanning process had been done. Which to ensure the entire networking port close and open by the right person at the right time. This is to guarantee the systems controlled or run in this building are perfectly secure. If we found any open port, an alert message or directly called the person to quickly close or aware with the open port. An open port, freely without monitoring will commit danger to the company as it can allowed outsider or hackers to easily break any data system in the building.  Therefore it is important to ensure, monitored and scanned the network port frequently. Otherwise, a scanning to find devices around the given IP address was conducted to ensure and alert with “project, devices and networking port - actively running around us”. In other words, always updated with the latest project and what is going on in every second.
