For the beginning, let me introduce myself. My name is Syahriah Salleh. I am 25 years old. I graduated from University Technology
Malaysia in year 2005 in B.Sc Computer Science. I have experience working at TH Technologies Sdn Bhd for 1 year before pursuing my study in M.Sc IT-Management. This is my second semester.
One subject that I have to take this semester is Special Topic IT-Management. To fulfill the synopsis of this subject, PM Wardah asks us to present our own topic in public. After having some constraints, the entire class member agreed to form a committee and invited speakers from Symantec, Redhat and Prof Zamri, CICT Director to share their knowledge on Security Awareness.
My objectives for this seminar are stated as below:
-
To gain more knowledge in security. What type of awareness we should know to ensure our PC is really protected from viruses, worms and others.
-
To increase my self-esteem and confident in handling any unexpected incident and work as a team.
-
To improve my communication skills while interacting with the audiences and speakers have different language and level.
-
To expose myself to the event management in the real world.
Lesson Learned
From the seminar, or even the class Special Topic itself has teach me some lessons. ‘Don’t worry about failure, worry about chances, you miss when you don’t even try’. The sentence is really suite to our committee especially to our Advisor, PM Wardah Zainal Abidin. Firstly, grateful thanks to her for trusting us manage our own event. With efforts from all members, we finally made it. During the preparation stage, we encounter some problems. We actually lack of time and resources. But thanks to PM Wardah and Dhafer that sponsor our event. One month duration actually is not enough. We change the format after the Mid-term break. The lesson learned from this is, we have to use 5Ps (Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance). If we change the format earlier, maybe we can get more sponsors and the event will be more grants.
