#Day 28: 28 January 2016

SECURE IT

Out of my busy scheduled today, I took an effort to attend the Security Day Campaign in my office.

It is an interesting subject to hear, be it on Physical Security as well as the tricky part such as Information Security.

I learned about Phishing, which is when an attacker attempts to fool you into clicking on a malicious link or opening an attachment in an email. We also learned how to identify such.

But what interests me is the behavior that the event would like to establish, which is the high level of awareness and knowledge for us to rapidly recognise phishing attempts and respond to those according with company policies.

I am wondering, if we also face such threat in our daily life? I am referring to the threat towards our growth in Christ. In our faith.

1 Peter 5:8 told us "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour"

Ephesians 6:18 reminds us to "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints"

Mark 14:38 says "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

And a lot more awareness messages that our predecessors have written to remind us

I think, while we are busy with securing our physical as well as personal information, without reducing the important of these, we also need (or even put as top priority) to secure our hope, our believes, our faith.

Like Mark have been telling us, we need to be on guard, we need to stay awake! 

So we can establish a correct behavior, having a high level of awareness and knowledge for us to rapidly recognise 'phishing' attempts on our faith.

A knowledge that we need to be around our community, living F.R.E.S.H values.

A knowledge that we need to SECURE IT (Secure our heart, our faith)

Mark 13:33-37 "Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”
