''TREND MICRO'' THE GLOBAL LEADER IN CLOUD SECURITY

With the continues rise in number of threats in our technology today that comes in the form of viruses, spywares, worms, root kits, Trojans and others that we encounter every day on the internet that pose as a threat not only to the different vital institutions like our government agencies and private companies all over the world, but also to the ordinary person like you and me who regularly check our mailbox and see the post of our friends in the social media provider we are signed in. 

Knowing that threats are all around us, one should not be lax in choosing an anti-virus provider that will secure our precious files in our computer; that if it will be lost through the effect of this threat, the chance of recovering it; is very slim or in some cases… the chance is nothing at all. 

Having said that, we should look for an anti-virus provider that is of exceptional reputation and has a proven track record in combating viruses and exposing those spywares, malwares and other technical pest that infect our laptop, our mobile phones and other gadgets that we use every day. And in this scenario, this is where Trend Micro comes into play. Trend Micro is a global leader in cloud security and also the largest independent security vendor in the world. And this is proven by the record that 48 of the top 50 Global Corporation Trust, 10 of the top 10 Automotive Companies, 10 of the top 10 Telecom companies, 8 of the top 10 Banks, 9 of the top 10 Oil companies entrust their security matters to Trend Micro. Given that kind of statistics, with a trust rate of 9 out of 10… one can definitely conclude that Trend Micro is trusted by the top corporations around the globe, and that is why it’s no wonder that Trend Micro has a market share of being number 1 in cloud security aspect, number one in server security aspect, number 1 in virtualization security aspect, etc.     

Recently, a group of Online Media personalities were invited to have a tour of the Trend Labs office in Ortigas that serves as the headquarters of the Trend Micro for Global Technical Support and for Research and Development. During the tour where I’m a part of, we were guided by our friendly tour guide who led us from one department to another to explain to us how their engineers detect the different kind of threats in the computer and how to deal with it properly. Our first stop was in Email Reputation Services department where all emails are screened, data contents are checked and all IPs are analyzed. Then, we proceed to Web reputation services where all the submitted URL are verified and then reclassified by their web engineers as to whether it will fall on the negative or positive category. Finally, we stopped at the File Reputation Services where the files passes through different machines to be screened and examined thoroughly before passing it on to the quality assurance department where the last screening process takes place.

SEARCH FOR THE NEW TEEN AZKALS

If there is one sport that has overtaken the Philippines by storm in the recent years, it would definitely be the game of football…..with the phenomenal success of the Team Azkals that has curved a name in the local and international football scene…not to mention the charisma of its players that made Azkals each game…a crowd-drawing event in a rain or shine situation. And to continue the Azkals winning tradition, the Philippine Football Federation together with the officers of Team Azkals has opened its doors for the selection of the would be Teen Azkals players that will represent our country in international competitions such as The Asian Cup, The Singapore Cup, The Asian Confederation Qualifier and other friendly games that will really push and test their ability to the limit. 

The future Teen Azkals will be the players that will be selected in the try outs that they will be conducting on July 7 & 8, 2012 at the University of the Philippines in Quezon City for the NCR selection and from August 4-12, 2012 in San Carlos City football ground in Negros Occidental for the Philippine selection, and those will be chosen will not only have the chance to represent our country in international competition, but also will eventually be a part of the Team Azkals (if chosen) who are now making waves in the field of football and for that reason, Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has recently announced that the Philippines is one of the football hot spots in the world today.  

As part of the Philippine Football Federation and the Team Azkals scouting journey, they have been communicating with almost every Football organization in the world to look for a potential player with a Filipino heritage who will be a part of the New Teen Azkals.  

With the continues rise in popularity of the game of football in the Philippines, and with the proven success of the Team Azkals, I can only say that the organization is just as good as the one who are handling or managing them. With the expertise and good leadership of Mr. Dan Palami, with the efficient coaching of Mr. Michael Weiss, with the assertiveness of Teen Azkals Manager Mr. Alvin Carranza and with the visionary effort of PFF President Mr. Mariano (Nonong) V. Araneta, surely, the game of football in the Philippines will continue to rise and soar to heights of greatness.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS

Among the rarest astronomical phenomena that happens every 243 years in the universe is the Transit of Venus…this is when the planet Venus passes through between the Sun and the Earth. And when this happens, the planet Venus looks like a small black rounded marble nibbling around  the big yellow ball shape, which is the sun. Seeing this phenomenon by my own eyes is something I must say is a privilege because not all people around the world has the opportunity to witness this event. And I’m just one of those I say blessed to witness this phenomenon……and witnessing this great astronomical event using a humongous telescope provided by the staff of the Nido Fortified Science Center.

During the AyosDito.ph I Ball bloggers event, Mr. Jon Santico gave some helpful tips on how to buy and sell a product wisely and safely. He stresses some important points like; the buyer should check and inquire about the price and the location of the item….if it’s too good to be true….then make some more inquiry, another important factor is during meet-ups…it is advisable that the buyer and the seller meet in public places like cafeterias, restaurants or maybe in banks so that outright payment can be made. The last one is that it’s better that you will be accompanied by someone you trust….and that could be your relative or a friend.
