Verify AD Baseline

Again as being mention earlier, where communication skills were very important. During this time I have been asked to meet people in a different department to ensure all the server setting follow the baseline and procedure given. As the Audit and Compliance team member, I learn how to do auditing process. Therefore, when I met this people they have to show me details about the server setting and I need to take the screenshot as a prove, so in future there is nothing to worried about. 

Based on the list given, AD Baseline it were more than 100 server to be verified. However, during my time I focused on the critical server and servers that are completely setup. For information, I cant simply verified the server, but I need to sit and discuss with those people. Some servers are located at Myanmar and other countries. Others maybe located at the offshore, therefore to get access to the server we must have a strong network connection and the admin password. This is because we are verifying the network as remotely at the other place. 

Hence, if any problem occur like we cant access the network or the setting were not the same, me and the responsible person need to access the servers from the Tower and they have to reset the servers exactly like what the audit team has request. To be at the Tower is not easy as the security control were totally tight. I need a staff to accompanied me, walk through the scanning machine (body scanning), change the access card given when you reach any floor in the building and leave your ic number and signature there. In addition as the problem occur, the task was late from its due date.

The verifying and data entry is a continuous task. While I make my words done, there were some meeting need to be attend and write the minute meeting for my manager and supervisor guidance and even more the new year start and the new management has been introduce by the iP Security Office Head of Department, Mr.Ganesh. Therefore in directly they keep my day busy. 

The meeting is discussing about how they can manage the critical servers, ways they are approaching the servers, how to avoid mistakes from the outsider auditor while they checking the servers setting and procedure and etc. 

All these task can give you a big pressure as the audit team itself and to ensure the servers is well manage. Experiencing the moment made you very excited and enjoy your work.

Where at the peak time, it prove how you can manage your life time, if you are married it prove how strong you are to face the challenging and I? So excited doing my work.
