Tech Tip Tuesday - CampFIRE Cyber Security Challenge
CyberHawaii, University of Hawai‘i, and State of Hawai‘i is hosting a jeopardy-style, Capture the Flag (CTF) event. This half-day, on-site event is free for security professionals and college students. Participants can play in a team of two or individually. CampFIRE CTF is primarily focused around incident response and contains challenges that are based on real-life attacks or inspired by day-to-day security tasks. Upon completion of the event, participants will have learned about tools and techniques to deal with actual cyber security threats.

Tech Tip Tuesday - Targeted Attack: The Game
Trend Micro has a “choose your own adventure” game that puts you in the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO’s) seat of a fictional company launching a new app. You are presented with multiple challenges and are responsible for the success or failure of the new endeavor. Not everyone aspires to be a CIO but understanding what problems look like at the C-level can help you communicate your challenges to leadership.

Tech Tip Tuesday - How to Protect Your Identity, Personal Data and Property
Our friends at Pacific Center for Advanced Technical Training (PCATT) shared this resource from Tom’s Guide a couple of days ago. The “What to Do If…” section covers some common issues like ransomware and identity theft. It also lists some tips for protecting yourself. It’s the perfect link to send someone asks, “Hey! You do computer stuff. What do you recommend?”

Tech Tip Thursday - Risk
Over the past few days I saw many vendors at #AFCEATechNet Asia-Pacific and I realized that every product and service they offer is built to address one thing. Risk. The generally accepted risk equation is “Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Impact” and different products take on different factors. A vendor that provides “real time threat intelligence” is focused on threats. The “vulnerability assessment” tools focus on the vulns. Other focus on maintaining “uptime” with “resilient networks” to reduce impact. This SANS article identifies Risk as one of the “Five Tenets of Cyber Security” but for me it all comes down to risk.
