We Help You Protect Your Business Every Minute of the Day

Recently, my team and I have been doing some works on people-centric protection for IT systems. This has become more necessary now than ever before with the spate of cyber attacks on small and big organizations across the world, we can not but ensure we do the best within our capacity to protect our clients and staff from falling victim.

With more employees using different (personal) devices and more data moving to the cloud, there are more threats and security risks to think about. Data can easily get leaked outside your organization, devices that connect to sensitive business information can be lost or stolen, and people can make mistakes. Cybercriminals have become extremely creative in inventing mechanisms to bypass any security settings.

Gone are the days when a lot of money, time and resources are devoted to the technical side of security, such as firewalls, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing. The truth is no matter how secured your Security Architecture is, an attacker could still bypass years of IT security work though a social engineer attack.

Social engineering is one of the modern ways unscrupulous people steal data, especially if employees are unaware of the ways to prevent them and how to recognize and combat it.

The truth is you can never be too careful with the security and compliance of your IT services. At Techspecialist Consulting Limited, we prepare your team to fight social attacks.

The good news is organizations don't have to break the bank to keep their staff, data and assets secured. You can have a trusted partner that will put measures in place to thoroughly protect your technology from the potentially fatal attacks of hackers, malware, and viruses. At Techspecialist Consulting Limited, we use the latest and most up to date technology to protect our client's businesses against any form of threats, be it physical or in the cloud. Our team protect your data security as well as your infrastructure both cloud and premise from external attacks.

We also train your team on how to identify potential targets within the organization. They will learn from experts the techniques used by attackers to make contact with their targets, and how manipulation takes place via targeted communication and “cold reading”. As part of the give away, we point out possibilities to protect the organization on a personal and structural level so there won't any weak link within your system.

In the past few years, we have helped organizations like yours to protect their data and enlighten their staff on social engineering while improving the Security, Compliance and Governance within the organization. Our offering span beyond penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, we offer integrated email, cloud and employee awareness security solutions to help you identify, block and resolve any threats.

Death: The Final Stage of Growth

 

Ours is a death-denying society. But death is inevitable, and we must face the question of how to deal with it. Coming to terms with our own finiteness helps us discover life's true meaning.

Why do we treat death as a taboo? What are the sources of our fears? How do we express our grief, and how do we accept the death of a person close to us? How can we prepare for our own death?

Drawing on our own and other cultures' views of death and dying, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross provides some illuminating answers to these and other questions. She offers a spectrum of viewpoints, including those of ministers, rabbis, doctors, nurses, and sociologists, and the personal accounts of those near death and of their survivors.

Once we come to terms with death as a part of human development, the author shows, death can provide us with a key to the meaning of human existence.

Excerpt from Death: The Final Stage of Growth by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross 

Learning as a Cure for Sadness

"The best thing for being sad… is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."

 Author T.H. White on learning as a cure for sadness:

How beautiful people are made

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

David Whyte on Friendship

The dynamic of friendship is almost always underestimated as a constant force in human life: a diminishing circle of friends is the first terrible diagnostic of a life in deep trouble: of overwork, of too much emphasis on a professional identity, of forgetting who will be there when our armored personalities run into the inevitable natural disasters and vulnerabilities found in even the most average existence.

The ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate touchstone is witness ... to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone."

The Discomfort of Growth

Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger than we were before.

Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant.

But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be... for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.
