Cybersecurity sees everything

We should mean almost, digitally. With serious considerations to best practices, widely acceptable principles including that of, directly and indirectly related, applicable laws and, if any, for the sake of thoughtful and sensible transparency. Almost everything, in this case is about, as nations and industries are already taking it as an initiative to protect entities such as people, enterprises, assets, properties including but not limited to information, which is the sole subject of information security specialists but it's reality is more complicated than arguing on which security can cover which area. Technology practitioners should appreciate it. Those who goes beyond a few specializations could realized it and make an effective position paramount to a cybersecurity responsibility. And the size of that responsibility may mean breaking and delegating it with various roles, with those who are effective and prudent in their jobs.

Probing mobile networks

On 14 May 2010 we were scheduled to go to several places and decided while on the road to use our phones to check how signals for Globe and Smart would switch from typical GSM signal or 2G, 3G and HSDPA or 3.5G.

The phones we used are both SE with models of G502 for Globe and C902 for Smart. Both are 2G, 3G and HSDPA capable.

Going to Libis, Quezon City, the following were the routes we take:

From EDSA along Roxas Blvd > Gil Puyat > Finlandia > cross South Super Highway > Philippine National Railway > Dela Rosa, Pio del Pilar > Makati Medical Center > Dela Costa > cross Ayala Avenue > between RCBC building and Cityland > Gil Puyat > EDSA > Boni > EDSA Central > Shaw Blvd > Ortigas Center > San Miguel Ave > Julia Vargas > SM Pasig > Frontera > Ortigas Avenue > E. Rodriguez > Eastwood City

Going to back to EDSA, Roxas Blvd, the following were the routes we take:

Eastwood City > E. Rodriguez > C5 > Kalayaan > EDSA, Roxas Blvd

Smart were consistent in 3G and were not able to detect HSDPA. Globe were able to switch on HSDPA, which has strong signal in places mentioned above (see bold texts), however 2G and 3G signals were also flickering in few areas along the way.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

iclassed privacy policy, unbelievable at first sight

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all? At the end of the day, you should still be looking at those information and make sure you did, and will, do well. I am expecting a lot from you here, you said so yourself!" Now, that last sentence is so loud. We keep them, not in our premises, but yours. If you've been our clients, you'll know how persistent we are when it comes to the reliability and security of your systems, data and credentials. That's our responsibility, as is made popular by cloud computing, and we don't need to be in a cloud.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...
