Japan Study Trip

Trip to Japan

Day 1

Recently, several of our Diploma in Cyber and Digital Security students were given a chance to set out in a study trip to Japan where they visited various locations such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and also had hands-on experience making soba! Shall not say anymore, let the pictures below bring you through the whole trip!

On the first day of the trip, we arrived at Narita International Airport

We then proceed to Odaiba, where we saw the saw the statue of liberty

Afterward, we went to Mirai-Kan which is a national museum of emerging science and innovation.

We also visited the Bank of Japan and the currency museum

After that we went to Yokoya Onsen Ryokan, where we had dinner and slept for the night and we began our 2^nd day

We went to the Ryokan where we made our own soba

and ate it for lunch

We then travelled to the Ueda Multimedia Centre

Afterward we proceeded to our home-stay, where we had dinner

This was the area we slept at

The next morning we woke up at around 5 in the morning and before going off we gave them some gifts from Singapore and took some pictures with them

When we were in Tokyo we visited places like Asakusa Akhirabara, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku.

Digital C.S.I Competition

Our diploma will be organising a Digital C.S.I. (Cyber Security Investigation) competition for secondary school students on 20 Nov 2009, Friday from 1pm to 5pm at Temasek Polytechnic. There will be attractive prizes such as a HP notebook and PDAs. During this competition, we will hold a mini-workshop where we will teach you simple crytographic techniques which will enable you to craft and decode secret messages.

Refreshments will be available after the workshop and the competition will start immediately after that. During the competition, you will be introduced to a crime scene where a victim was ruthlessly murdered. Before the victim died, he left clues on the identity of his murderer. Using the cryptographic techniques that you just learned in the workshop, you will attempt to decode the clues left behind and find out who is the murderer! The clues and messages are left all over Temasek Polytechnic so you are advised to wear appropriate attire in your quest to locate them.

If you are interested, pls email to Jie Xiang at jxneo91@gmail.com by 19 Nov, Thurs, 12 noon. We’ll put up the posters at a later date. Please also note that this competition is only open to Secondary School students.

Digital C.S.I (Cyber Security Investigation)

Date: 20th November 2009

Timing: 1 PM to 5 PM

Venue: Temasek Polytechnic

Our Photo Taking Session

Last week, a few of the CDS students gathered to take pictures in our TP-IBM IT Security Lab. Some of the pictures were snapped by our Course Manager, Ms. Mandy Mak herself (didn't know she's into photography!)

Brandon Lee, our former TPSU (Temasek Polytechnic Student Union) President and currently the VP of TPSU, and Siying Tan, our CDS freshmen, posed for great photos.

Some of our freshmen also included in the photoshoot. Do check out the photos later after I've done uploading them for the slideshow (newly added on the left).

A new IT Security Authority in Singapore

Today we have learned that there will be a new IT Security Authority in Singapore.

The new authority, called the Singapore Infocomm Technology Security Authority or SITSA has been set up from October 1 to handle the protection of Singapore from IT security threats. Cyber crimes has been rampant in Singapore, recent Industry figures show that nearly 12 million computers were hacked by cyber criminals alone last year and almost 23,500 new infected web pages are being discovered on a daily basis.

This means that the IT security threats are already present in the world today. Thus the need to recruit IT professionals to protect our country from these threats is very much needed.

Also, the Singapore Infocomm Technology Security Authority (SITSA) will be conducting regular cyber security exercises to prepare us for cyber attacks and also to increase the efficiency to response and also recover from such attacks.

Therefore this means that IT Security Professionals (like us when we graduate) will be highly sought after as the government is building the competency in this area.
