HTCIA Asia Pacific Chapter in conjunction with the Hong Kong Computer Society have arranged a hands-on workshop scheduled for the whole day on Saturday 18th October at the HK Productivity Council in Kowloon Tong.

This workshop aims to show in a hands on environment how IT Security personnel can prepare and equip themselves to take on an investigative role and develop incident response plans which include analysis. In addition, with the prevalence of data leakage incidents the workshop will also teach some methodologies to use for analysis of systems to trace the source of leakages or theft of sensitive data.

Attendees will learn:

• Current malware threats and capabilities
• Developing an incident response plan
• Forensic analysis of live systems
• Tracing data leakage sources (tools and techniques)

The HTCIA Asia Pacific Chapter was proud to welcome some of Hong Kong's leading experts to provide a free hands-on workshop for members only on Saturday 26th July 2008.

Alan Ho, Anthony Lai and Sang Young of PISA all contributed to a fascinating study of the latest threats to WiFi and Bluetooth enabled systems - particularly timely given HK's recent roll-out of free WiFi services in the territory.
