Globalization, State, Mass Media and Human Rights

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Globalisation, the state media and human rights ”The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government” … … … … … Thomas Jefferson. ”The 20th century was characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power and corporate profit growth propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.” … … … … … Alex Carey ”States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions” … … … … … Chomsky ”When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. If I do, why the poor have no food, you ask, they call me a communist” … … … … … Dom Helder Camara Human Rights: Human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent. Human rights are what makes us human. When we speak of right to life, or the development or the dissent and diversity, we talk about tolerance. Tolerance will ensure all freedoms. Without them, we may be sure, nothing. Human rights are the following: The rights that a person just because he or she is human. • Universal • Interconnection • Indivisible Common myths about human rights: • Human rights are the same as civil rights. • human rights violations occur only in poor countries, foreign countries. • Human rights are concerned that the violations. • Only adults and lawyers understand the importance of human rights. • Human rights are only rights. • Rights and obligations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was drafted by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, chaired by then First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 56 members of the UN General Assembly 10th December 1948. 10th December is now celebrated worldwide as International Human Rights Day. It now188 States at the United Nations, to educate on accession, to decided their citizens on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Most of these countries have taken the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in their constitutions. Five main categories of human rights: • Civil Rights • Political rights • Economic rights • Social rights • Cultural rights Human Rights Education: Human rights education is essential for every person in society. Knowing human rights, it is possible to follow the rules and regulations and the rights and obligations. • Produces changes in values and attitudes • Produces changes in behavior • Produces empowerment for social justice • Development of attitudes of solidarity between nations and questions • develop skills and analytical skills • Produces participatory education Globalization: Globalization is the tendency of companies, technologies and philosophies in the world, or to spread the process to achieve this objective. The global economy is sometimes referred to as a whole, characterized as totally networked market, unhampered by time zones or national borders. The spread of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide is an example of globalization, the fact that they adapt their menus to local tastes is an example of globalization (also known as internationalization), a combination of globalization and localization. Globalization and Human Rights: Globalization, the increasing interdependence of states, markets, communications and ideas across borders, is one of the main features of the contemporary world. International norms and institutions for the protection of human rights in more than previously developed in history, while the growing global civil society resources to encourage the citizens oppressed by their own states. But continuing attacks on the dignity of human rights, and the very blurring of boundaries and the rise of transnational actors that the development of a global regime of human rights facilitated new sources can also be violations of human rights. Even if it more generally accepted and articulated the rights of individuals have come to depend increasingly on a wide range of global actors and forces, departments of multinational missions. Globalisation is thus a set of transnational flows of people, production, investment, information, ideas and authority (not new, but stronger and faster). Human rights are a series of claims and rights to dignity, that the existing international regime takes over will be provided (or threatened) by the state. A cosmopolitan and open international system should free people to defend their rights, but many people seem to state repression of both long and denials of new rights in relation to suffer to transnational forces. The essays in this volume show that the challenge of globalization that migration flows inexplicable and open markets are new threats that no state to give do it yourself-based systems, human rights, while new opportunities for information and global institutions are not sufficiently accessible and distorted by the intervention of the persistent state. The impact of globalization on the state of violations of human rights is based, depends on the nature of the state and its history. In democratic countries with weak institutions and elite-controlled economies (Russia, Latin America and Southeast Asia), tend to increase the growth of global markets and economic fluctuations to destabilize the coercive force, but crime, police abuse and corruption. global mobility and flows of general information for the promotion of ethnic mobilization, self-promoting in the states, but may be sensitive more often the product of the abuse of the collective defense of the hegemony of the ruling group. Secondly, the same forces slowly openings made institutional less fragmented party states (like China and Mexico). In much of Africa, globalization has increased the power vacuum, ironically, by two challengers substate empowerment and provision of sporadic intervention that moves the old regime, without need for further consolidation. Some of the worst abuses occurred in all of transnationalization, Hobbes civil wars in Sierra Leone, Angola and Congo. Center for Globalization: The Yale Center for Study of Globalization which uses a variety of ways to explore the globalization and promote the circulation of ideas, basic to all our questions. Organized by the YCSG designed in a way, the mission of the center to connect and enable us to achieve our goals. Activities range from public lectures at international conferences, round tables in multi-disciplinary. YCSG combines the worlds of science and policy by bringing together scientists and experts from outside the university, with faculty and students to interact in workshops, discussions and conferences, and holds to discover at least one major conference each year, an important aspect of globalization. A highly visible role of the Centre are the most important leaders in international affairs to bring on campus, hold a big public speech. The center has a distinguished visitors program to bring Yale for periods up to one year or completed a project together in a work created. Visitors can differentiate into a variety of backgrounds and experiences, researchers and practitioners to former government officials. YCSG has developed and continues to work with multilateral institutions, international organizations and global and individuals who contribute through their work at universities or government actions essential to cultivate the globalization debate. It is necessary to establish such a center in our university. In the modern generation of computer literacy is also very low in our community. It is very sad that our students have no interest in learning computer training. Without computers, it is not possible to share the views of citizens from other countries. Amnesty International: Amnesty International is a worldwide movement that for the overall protection of human rights. It is independent of all governments and neutral in their relation to political groups, ideologies and religious divisions. Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson, a British lawyer. It was originally his intention to appeal in Britain to receive an amnesty for political prisoners around the world. The working committee for this problem soon became clear that a detailed documentation of this category of prisoners would be required. Gradually they realized that the work should be done on a permanent basis, the number of political prisoners were enormous, and they were in every part of world. Amnesty International Organization for protection of human rights around the world. There are rows of protecting human rights in every country in the world. In Asia, our position is the best compared to other neighboring countries. Role of media in the protection of human rights: Now we live in the modern technological world. It’s easy to find for all kinds of things with a few seconds around the world. Audion TV and Internet users is increasing day by day. It is easy to protect human rights through the mass media. Mass is called as the fourth power. With the help of the mass media, it is easy to motivate the human rights of the citizens of every state in the world. Our daily news paper focuses on human rights. It is true that the U.S. government to have any in the world measures to protect human rights through the mass media. It is very important to the poets, writers and journalists should pay attention to human rights by their poems, books, novels and articles to protect. Completion Swamy Vivekananda said: “We want that education is made with the character, strength of mind is increased, develops the mind, and which one to stand on its own feet.” It is true. It is our government has an obligation to this kind of education for all students enter the country. Through education, we can solve all kinds of problems. Through education, it is easy to motivate people to moral values and human rights. Education provides the knowledge, strength and creativity. Through proper use of technology is to become developed country in the world, to India about the possible futures. “Protecting the rights of man to give birth and safe for everyone.” *****

Status of Rice Production in Kashmir Division of J&k State

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Introduction 1st Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most widely grown cereal crop in the world. It is a staple food of about 2 4 billion or more. In South Asia as brown rice provides 23% more energy per capita per capita and 16% protein. Its protein content is modest 7%, but it looks to minerals, vitamins and fiber.

Some first 82 lakh hectares of land were distributed. Of this total, approximately 0th 94 lakh hectares have been distributed for free among the peasants. Although absentee landlords was abolished. Over time the neo-land owners have emerged that are not comparable with absentee landlords and land owners exploited Sun very “Jagir”. The reform was to double the target, which reach to the farmer his place in the social system, and also ensure a more efficient use of public funds. The main objective to achieve self-sufficiency in terms of rice production, but put a jump of some simple lakh tones to 0. 86 million tonnes. However, the big breakthrough has been hampered due to various causes. An analysis of the causes of the problem to us in the past could be summarized in Fig. 1st Problems Rice production in the State of Jammu and Kashmir is essentially an activity of monoculture. The area is about 40% in Jammu and Kashmir 60% Division Division. The availability of irrigation is about 91% compared to 99% in Haryana and Punjab. The Haryana and Punjab irrigation to ensure the serious climate change is how most of it comes from groundwater. Our potential for irrigation of rice in Kashmir is snow bound. Most will be through the channel system, which projects in dry and flooding in heavy rain and snow. In spite of climate change over the years, the rice production growth, which may vary depending on weather condition are recorded. Our production of food grains, 22 59 lakh tonnes by the end of the 9th Plan recorded a jump of more productivity plan quantitum 8 13 56 lakh tones. A similar downward trend is up significantly in terms of chemical fertilizers increased from 43 400 to 72 400 tonnes during the same period. Common factors such as improved; 1st improved seeds, including the production of hybrid seed at a time, certification and marketing of agricultural needs critical evaluation. 2nd With the recommendations of the production of the farmers have an effective mechanism for technology transfer with the widespread use of electronic and print media as well as training modules for employment agriculture extension agents. 3rd The irrigation system must be so dependent replaced by an irrigation potential of permanent or semi-insured, especially in belt Khandi. 4th Timely provision of inputs such as fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, animal waste and enrichment of humus (or the use of organic fertilizers) and / or other important nutrients such as potassium, zinc sulfate, etc. on the soil test reports. Needs and solutions Causes of low productivity: analysis of scenarios is shown in Fig. 1 a) non-availability of quality seed paddy Total area under rice cultivation Kashmir Division 1 61 acres Distribution of land in hac High Altitude – 0 3 acre lake a small amount – 1 3 acre lake Seed must Certified seed: seed rate 60 kg / hac i. e. 60 x 1 60 = 96 kg CDT Lake To replace 10% / year = 9 6 kg See. 9600 quintals 10 000 quintals say Therefore, we need certified seed in the report; Top of upland rice varieties in 2200 dz Low altitude 7800 quintals of rice Total 10000 quintals Certified seed above, we need some basic seed Heights belt land 50 quintals Lower altitudes 100 150 quintals channel – SKUAST produce can Breeder seed requirements Varieties with high level first 5q-Land Varieties of small sums 4th 5q 10 kansls – SKUAT can produce Need of 10,000 quintals of certified seed Lot 2000 – 3000 channel Dis 5000 channel 10 of 500 villages in six districts of seed channel – can be used to produce it under the joint supervision SKUAST-K & Department officials or Let postgraduate unemployed graduates between 12 and seed production under the supervision of the village and scientific personnel SKUAST seed certification authority service. (Mr. G. Wani) Extension Director Paper II: Objectives and achievements Aims and objectives: a) the availability of food per person per day depending on the ICMR recommendation is 420 grams food in J & K in 301 g / day / person. Therefore, we have about 1/3rd lack of foodgrains in the state. However, the shortage of higher considering the report of Dr. MS Swaminathan (2003), that is consumption of foodgrains in J & K higher than recommended, said the ICMR standards. In the rice in the rural areas amounted to 489 gm-Kashmir (per person per day in urban areas it rises to 428 g per day per person). For example, rice consumption per head higher than the ICMR recommended standards. b) Projected population of 40 million dollars with rice as a staple food in an area of 1 60 hectares of the lake to rice, we need a yield of about 5 t / ha Statement Assuming that the genetically modified rice 500 per person per day, we would need two hundred pounds of rice per person per year. i. e of 40 Lac, we need 80 or 8 tones Quintel Lake lake. A 1 60 acres of lake rice should attend to some 5t/hac production, our requirements. With the present productivity of 2 5t / h in the division of Kashmir, the goal is difficult but could be achieved. But with increasing population over the years, we can find the “self-sufficiency a dream” The productivity of rice in the amount of 5t/hac in both upper and lower bands. This need these varieties in farmer fields developed replaced with higher-yielding varieties of SKUAST. to replace a more modest approach, the rice seed 10% per year can under the current infrastructure and availability of land will be carried out. need to feed, the question of sustainability of rice production, the growing population annually with a further increase in the list of seed replacement of 20-30%, which require careful planning and organization. Self-sufficiency in rice production target in the future Objective: Production of rice 5t/hac Facts 1st Under farmers’ field that we have a yield of 3-5 t / HAC achieved with improved seed. Details of the fieldwork and Templates to see from the farmers – a second table The improved package of practices of SKUAST developed and used by the farmers themselves when has resulted in a total return of Rs 84 000 / 54 000 Rs hac cons / hac from the normal practice of farmers. So, feasible under current conditions a net profit of Rs 63 500 / hac was the production of rice, rice, indicating that the second production a profitable enterprise – Table 2 2nd During Kharif 2002 and 2003, three varieties SKUAST 6t/hac power in the fields. These trails were conducted jointly by agricultural experts and MINIKIT SKUAST Ministry in six districts of the valley. They were observed and discussed in the meetings of the Area Extension Research Advisory Committee held in the years 2002 and 2003. The diversity of information shows as / hac are shown in Table 2. 3 down field rice belt Table 2 4 for rice height. A review of the two tables shows that at higher rice belt (altitude) SKUAST varieties showed a potential of 4 5 q / HAC and in the area of rice low, low belt, a higher potential 6t/hac was reached. The two combined are sufficient to present our performance in relation to an average return on 5t/hac required. So the goal is achievable and doable. 3rd Under the conditions of scientific breeding SKUAST Rice Research Station, Khudwani, a yield of 8 reaches 8 t / hac second table was 5, otherwise too much on the floor with the recommendation of the use of the production of a yield of 6 8 t / HAC is specified in Table 2. 6 Under Village outreach programs related to practices of farmers are guided to third 3 t / hac and if one or two measures, as has, for example, instead of the wooden plow to plow a yield of Shalimar 5th was reached 4 tons / hac. Thus, according to the current state of technology is already demonstrated to the farmers by the Agriculture Department, a potential benefit was shown necessary 5-6 t / HAC. Now it is the mechanism for effective extension to the Department of Agriculture to expand the awareness of the technology. can be seen for detailed forecasts policy, document III. 4th The diffusion of hybrid seed The technology of hybrid rice production in China has 9th 9 t / hac rice. This, combined with growth duration of 123 days and milling recovery rate of 68. 7% do not promise, our productivity continues to rise in 1970 is through the use of hybrid seed technology, but these Chinese hybrid technology to webbed with some problems. a. Use new seeds every year: That’s a load of seeds of technological intervention that can be used under the present state of our body more mistakes than success on the field scale. However, pilot studies in the field and farm management research, we can continue to use as future long-term strategy. b. is 20 kg of seed per hectare, compared to 60 kg per hectare, but the seeds harvested from previous hybrid plants can not be used. Until our farmers are fully trained and know the technology. Its use should be limited to Govt, university or progressive companies only farmers. C. The advantage of hybrid seed at a rate of less seed is hidden in its potential for hybrid vigor. These seeds have a rapid root growth and greater development potential of the leaf surface. So, more number of spikelets per unit area, increase the productivity. Detailed requirements for the cultivation of hybrid rice is currently on the capacity of our farmers. A detailed description of the hybrid seeds in China can be seen in a Web page and is repeated here for reference (Annex 1) Performance Program participatory seed production in two districts of the Kashmir valley made during Khairf, 2004 (rice harvest) Name of the Variety Village class farmers of seeds sown area (ha) Qty.

Transfer of technology in agro-ecosystems perspective 1st To increase the growing demand of grain to the people to focus on the production should be provided to ensure sustainability and optimum utilization of resources for small. Benefits of agro-ecosystem analysis in the form of resource inventory, identification of crops, cropping patterns and areas of potential problems and analysis of the causes of low productivity, etc. must be taken account. 2nd Production by small production mainly for home consumption. Training need to be modified to achieve greater productivity in mixed farming systems. The diversification of products by introducing a variety of alternative crops and diversification of income for small farmers especially rural youth and dropouts by providing training on income-generating agricultural activities such as the establishment of backyard poultry, wormiculture, honey, mushroom production, goatry, milk etc. 3rd In the case of the production green revolution (Progressive farmers) the transfer of technology would be prepared to maximize the productivity of individual crops. Training activities should be strengthened by the incorporation of various promising technologies. For example, in the case of rice, breaking the introduction of hybrid rice technology for the production of performance barriers. Activity training on techniques for hybrid rice production can become a part of the curriculum. Likewise, the events are also taken simultaneously to demonstrate the potential yield of crops and new technologies and components. Multi-events should be further strengthened. Extension activities such as field days would add the movies also, further strength in that direction. 1st The emphasis of commercial production systems are the identification of plants and products, the demand on the international market as a medicinal aroma rice export value, etc., training programs and demonstrations, the technologies to include production of various crops with an export value taking into account the quality and reduce the impact of pesticide residues. More attention should be on environmentally friendly technologies such as integrated pest empty IPM, integrated management of nutrients are given through the application of vermicompost and organic farming. The group connects farmers with progressive-export company is well known set up to export the process more transparent. 2nd Farmers are using technologies that are safe and suitable, shall be equipped for the increased production of these elements, global market. This requirement is to protect the global GATT essentially particular to human health from pesticide residues or other minimum. 3rd The experience of the KVK, Medak Andhra Pradesh proposes that women in rural areas have an important role in the conservation of biological diversity of the different plans with a value in terms of food, high productivity, resistance to various biotic and abiotic play outside the usability for treatment of various diseases of plants, animals and humans. The efforts have been made in the form of lobbying for the identification of varieties, species and plants. The education of women workforce is still the weak link in our system of rice production. KVK can prepare farmers for the conservation of biodiversity. This should ensure appropriate links with leading institutions. The main goal is to create a totally new concept of “gene banks in rural areas through the use of indigenous wisdom and good young scientists. 4th Education and Training Rural women are the most important people in Indian agriculture. Study conducted and the data in this regard suggests that, despite their important role in food production, value added, the conservation of biodiversity and the environment, etc., they remained as invisible farmers. The invisibility of women as farmers is due to the fact that women are concentrated in manufacturing, but they have to play no role in the work. We need to focus on effective use of small tools and implements to reduce drudgery of women, to facilitate training on income generating activities to a greater role in decision making and economic independence of women in rural areas. Efforts should be made to their untapped potential for the conservation of genetic material used by the creation of gene banks in rural areas and linking them with national benchmarks for training and consulting. 5th Information Technology Revolution in information technology and India’s contribution in this regard has been taken at the edge of the planet. It is proposed to use this powerful tool to bring revolutions in technology transfer processes of J & K. A beginning must be made. The main agenda here is to develop an innovative concept, “e-Farmer, E and E-KVK-extension for rapid and efficient communication and transfer of technology. 6th The investments in the past in the field of agricultural research, education and advice now has a great capacity for “standing” for India in terms of availability of human power and the scientific infrastructure created. The globalization of agriculture and progress in the field of Information Technology has set a new agenda for the production, development and dissemination of technologies in agriculture and related fields. Therefore it is urgent to improve the current expansion in general and the realignment of the process of technology transfer, especially 7th The following areas need to be informed of technology in broader movement for the transfer · Generation of rural income · Environmental Conservation · Conservation of biological diversity • The sustainability of natural resources · Diversification · Improved status of women and other disadvantaged groups · Operations economically viable technologies and the improvement of export opportunities 8th Reform elements of the model in Annex-I SKUAST broad base Agric. Extension of the model in Annex II and other documents are enclosed.

The Precarious State of Security in Asia

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Safety is the state is defined protected against danger or loss. In the Internet era, information has to be as valuable and important as the physical aspects of security. Security remains one of the leading security company and executives of technology. But how does this benefit for the users and their managers? Business innovation led to a reader survey, the extent to which users are familiar with the tools and processes to determine policy in relation to the safety of the company. How many people do you have dedicated to IT security? Among the 316 respondents to the survey about 60% have a small team of 1-5 persons within their IT organization dealing with the security of their infrastructures. Almost 28 percent claimed a larger team dedicated to security. Twelve percent have no staff for security in their organization computer. ”Except for very large organizations that are truly dedicated security team, security experts, most of the so-called IT organizations actually carry several jobs, security and one of them,” said Henry Ng, Professional Services Manager, Asia, Verizon Business. “To compare the United States, there are few companies in Asia, where a Chief Information Security or ICOS security initiatives Monitor the company. In organizations where such a function exists, the CISO reports directly to the Chief Executive often instead of the IOC. “ Have you ever fought for the security in your organization to measure? More than 51 percent admit they have no way to adequately measure the safety of the company. In addition, 24th Six percent of respondents who are unsure how the security measure, and you have a population of 75. Six percent of respondents who have difficulty to measure the security. This could indicate a lack of awareness of internal tools, policies and procedures to ensure an exact measurement, and also puts the impossibility to new investments in security justify the basic about the security tools like anti-virus, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention solutions. How do you measure security? Some solution providers point by the number of incidents that are monitored and measured or remained at the door. Ng says his team often invited, together with customers to solve specific security problems. “When it comes to security, most organizations act in response to certain events. Few have particularly the very large companies in the U.S. or Europe based security policy on the basics,” says Ng. Can you demonstrate effective risk reduction and an improved security situation? The easiest way to demonstrate to the risk reduction that your antivirus software updated. Most business users have automated this process for them in IT. Once a user connects to the network, scans client antivirus software for server updates. Surprisingly, only 38th 6 percent of respondents claim to be able to demonstrate that posture. Andrew Walls, head of security, risk and privacy at Gartner, said the only way to demonstrate the risk reduction and safety performance is an effective information security and have event management (SIEM) program. Gartner Research has found strong production performance in the amount of security to secure and control the cost of security through a well-managed SIEM. Walls warns that measures the priorities of the business must be passed with raw metric (for security systems and technical processes) collected, analyzed and translated into the language of business. Do you need assistance or support for internal or external audits? Slightly more than 41 percent believe that they need help in terms of internal or external audits. About 42 percent say they do not need support, while almost 15 percent remain uncertain. On the question of international standards for information security, notes that Walls Asia tend to be less transparent about policies, processes and standards. “Avoid the trend of Asian organizations, which leads to internal security practices of the public body to conflicts where Western agencies to carry out for risk assessments for safety and compliance audits. Lack of transparency is often a lack of enforcing security within the organization can lead to negative controls are interpreted, “he added. They adhere to standards such as payment card industry data security standard, ISO 27001 or other? Just 20th 5 percent of the respondents confirmed that they comply with specific safety standards. The standard of most entries are ISO 27001 and BS7799. Nearly 54 percent believe that they are not commissioned meet with all safety standards. More than a quarter of respondents are uncertain whether their organizations should support a standard for all. That is human nature that we operate on a reactive mode, especially when it comes to security. It should not surprise us that after 11 September 2001 plunged to evaluate companies and to implement security policies and processes. Even after the earthquake in Taiwan on Boxing Day 26th December 2006 that the communication lines proposed under the water, climbed to see the people, whether their systems were compromised. Do you have a structured method or methods for the management of safety initiatives in the company? Following a structured process for managing security initiatives throughout the society is a rarity in the Asia-Pacific. It is not surprising that 26 years. 3 percent of those surveyed said they had a structured methodology to ensure the organization. Many others (38 2 percent) believe they have no concerns 35th 6 percent are unsure if such a process exists. The other two groups of 73. 8 percent – a number that is a source of concern for regulators and an opportunity for security professionals who want to offer their services on the market should. Are you confident about how to prioritize security efforts and funding? The ability to set priorities means knowledge. Respondents clearly underestimated the size and complexity of the implementation of security policies and strategies. About 45 percent of respondents say they are confident that they know how to prioritize security initiatives and the allocation of resources. In fact, based on interviews with experts, it is often not the case. It is possible that this perception is largely in the belief that security is no more than the use of a combination of anti-virus, intrusion detection and prevention solutions. Do you think that your existing security controls effectively protect against threats, worms and viruses? The majority (61 9 percent) of respondents believe that their current configuration is effective in combating infringements caused by worms and viruses. They say it is the confidence that the fall of Napoleon Only a minority (17 9 percent) are pessimistic about the ability of infrastructure to contain and combat the threats and a slightly higher percentage (20% three) remain uncertain about the effectiveness of its security initiatives. Do you provide the validation or certification by a third party or to meet compliance requirements? Respondents confidence in the effectiveness of their safety initiative will be measured by the inability or active measures to confirm the effectiveness of security in terms of hindering compliance. Only 35th Seven percent of respondents have third party validation processes instead. Forty-four percent do not use external agencies to be justified by the 42nd 7 percent, rather than an external auditor to review their security status and 53rd 9 percent who do not need to comply with the standards. The 20 others. 3 percent did not know whether their organization is using third parties to carry out the certification. Many certificates are on the third market for all types of security procedures. “But they only have value as evidence of compliance, if the certification applies to regular reviews of all relevant safety practices based the standard. The quality of assessment is entirely dependent on the questions raised above: transparency and maturity,” warns Walls. After the walls, if an organization is not fully transparent during the certification assessment, which can be certified, but then not a compliance audit. Transparency is an absolute necessity if your organization will seriously dedicated to managing security risks. ”If the program is for safety not well documented and consistently applied to policies, procedures and standards, certification will be based on hearsay and personal assurances from the staff. It will not be enough to pass a compliance audit,” says Walls. The review is easy when you mature a security program and clearly, with effective measures. If you are not, tests will always be a struggle. Market Analysis How many companies are spending on security solutions? According to IDC, $ 2 9 billion, the IT security solution has been spent in the entire Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) in 2006. This number will almost double to $ 5. EUR 9 billion in 2011. IDC Asia / Pacific Communications 2006 study found that “the virus” was the top threat by a large margin. This suggests that, despite the aging of secure content management (SCM) technology (the one Antivirus, Web Filtering and Messaging Security), viruses are still considered a very real threat to the IT infrastructure. It will be followed by “bribery or replication of data” and “external hackers. It is also interesting that sabotage” employee “also traditionally marked on the list of companies in APEJ on perimeter defense, or what is commonly known as the strategy of concentrated “bad attitude things out. “ This result shows that many companies now recognize the need to keep the checks “to establish the good things. Willie Low, senior market analyst IDC Asia / Pacific Infrastructure Software Research, said viruses, worms, Trojans and other malicious software continue to top the issues for the end user. “However, the increasing use of RSS feeds, mashups, blogs, Web 2 0 and other interactive technologies in the workplace present new security challenges for many IT managers, and many organizations are not prepared for them,” he warns. ”It is no coincidence that we see a lot of information protection and control solutions (systems, to prevent data loss, is a kind of solution IPC) will be on the market recently. Expect we can, more in the coming months see, “said Holland. According to Gartner, the three most important security issues or initiatives for the year 2008 in Asia, the following: New approaches to delivering explode on the market. Software as a Service, Virtualization, demand for infrastructure, managed services, social networks, grid computing and virtual worlds can provide huge benefits in terms of performance and cost are available, but they also need new approaches to security. Highlighting the advantages companies have to act quickly to improve their security. The growing importance of the organized crime in attacks on the network is based on the creation of new strategies to better targeted and more effective attack. Mitigation of this risk can be achieved by a reagent, and coordinated program of Enterprise Security. Next IT initiatives to take place without adequate participation early in the process safety concept. It costs much more to a system that is about than the cost to a system that is to think about safe use! Completion Walls warns that it is impossible to generalize about the entire Asian region, the quality of security practices. It reminds us that, as in other areas of the economy, various communities have grown more rapidly than others due to various factors. ”In general, the deployment of security policies, processes and methods in the major financial centers in Asia is conducted, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Shanghai. The need for security work is motivated by risk-taking entrepreneurs in a society. Since businesses grow in size, they tend to be rather conservative and risk averse. Therefore, they demand higher security guarantee, “says Wall. It is therefore natural that companies in financial centers have increased security, activity than other sectors. In 2006, China Trust Commercial Bank (CCB), a comprehensive review of security information. The exercise in the achievement of the Cybertrust Security Management Program (SMP) certification culminated. According to Chang RUU-Tian, executive vice president of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, CCB was able to adequately strengthen its program management with information security expertise to help, weaknesses in external information systems, history of improvements and examine the causes of problems. “ The result is a clean bill of health uses of the bank in order to be one of the safest financial institutions in the Taiwan position. Ng suggests that the safety initiatives have several features that ensure their survival through discussion forums (whether in the boardroom or the War Room, where the execution starts succeeded). “The approach is holistic – piecemeal tactics can not survive for long. There must be a baseline from which success or failure can be measured against. The initiatives should be reviewed regularly against the prevailing (and perhaps even the speculation) conditions,” said Ng. Walls five best practices provides for the creation and deployment of a safety initiative: Understand the business priorities that support the initiative. Decide how the success or failure of the initiative and negotiate these measures to compete with the stakeholders Prioritize providers, local agencies to assist in the planning, deployment and management support Involve users in the business and operational plan for the organizational support received Call high, broad appeal, call often! Make sure that everyone in the CEO of their role in the initiative and are regularly updated on progress. What ever want to hear you have to start and that the time was yesterday.
