Hey all,

I am trying to find a powerpoint that covers threats to company computers. What i mean by that is, companies who have networked computers and threats to their usage ie:

Disgruntled employees, viruses, trojans, DoS, etc etc. This is aimed at your ground level worker ie don't download files if you don't know what it is, don't send personal emails from works computers.

And it is a short presenatation, maybe 10mins long, basically threats to computers and what can be done to stop them.

Does anyone have such a thing??

Ta!
 
Wait, so I assume you're some kind of security specialist/consultant employed to build training material and deliver this kind of training/awareness, and you're asking someone else to do your work for you?
 
Guessing you are trying to do some type of IT acceptable use policy training session. If you are aiming it at basic user levels just write something simple like what the threats are , what they should do when using a computer and what they shouldn't.
 
What's funny is that powerpoint presentations are a perfect vector for attacks upon corporate systems. :)

What, so you're suggesting that they go in with an infected powerpoint, disable the entire network and tell them to give you a job because you're the only one who knows how to fix it?

That just might work :p

No, it's for a job interview. That's my topic.

Crazy idea here, but, how about doing it yourself?

If any of the interviewers have seen it before, you've lost yourself the job.

If they ask you on any of the topics or why you included X but not X, you're going to be on the spot trying to think up an answer.

So don't be a **** and steal someone else's work to try and get a job you don't deserve. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah do it yourself. There is plenty of information online. And the bonus is that you will actually learn something and understand it properly.

Would certainly add a bit of irony to the whole thing if he used his presentation on threats to company networks to introduce a threat to the company network...

Should deffo go with PermaBanned's suggestion of then blackmailing them into giving you a job too :D
 
I can see it now...

"And that concludes the presentation. Are there any questions?"
"Yes - why did you just show me my own presentation that you nicked?"

If it isn't your own material, your presentation will probably do you about as much good as mooning the interview panel. Presenting someone else's material, especially if you don't know it inside out, does not usually go across well. If you don't flounder in the monologue, you will totally stuff up the questions.

If you want the job, put together your own presentation and do it right. If you don't want the job, stop wasting their time and pull out of the interview.

The slides themselves probably don't take too long (unless you are a wall-of-text-why-am-i-not-using-word-for-this type of presenter). The thought goes into the planning and preparation. To be honest, you probably don't even need slides for this... (IME powerpoint generally hinders communication more than it helps)
 
Make sure your admin account password is over 14 characters. Under 14 and the encryption method used is weak and can easily be found by simply running something like BartPE on boot.

Trouble is most IT departments haven't really got a clue about security unless they've read about it on some IT Weekly style pamphlet, and real hackers who would know how to implement a water tight security policy don't tend to work in IT departments.

I wouldn't say I was a 'hacker' but I've managed to give myself admin rights on every work PC I've had at my last three companies.

I would have said a far more relevant topic for the OP to present on would be social engineering.

You could have the most watertight password policy in the world. It's no good if the MD's PA takes a call from someone from the "IT Department" saying there's a problem with her account and they need her password, if she then falls for it and gives the password, allowing full access to the MD's documents ;)

Similarly, it can be much easier just to sweet talk someone in IT into giving you admin access :p

Quite but if that doesn't work you can't then go and do it yourself because they'll be on the look out for you.

Much easier to do it yourself.

In my experience most IT departments use the out of the box, integrated MS security measures and consider that job done.

People sometimes ask me, what if you get caught with Photoshop on your work PC that you installed? I simply say, I'd simply tell the IT guy who found me what the bosses would be more p*ssed off with me or them for not doing their job properly :D
