Information Security Awareness Training

Challenge
As a listed company, our client has put a lot of effort on training their employees to prevent security incidents such as information leakage and system hacking from happening. Therefore, our mission is to deliver practical and easy-to-understand training material to our client as to maximize the effectiveness of the Security Awareness Training. Also, to instill security awareness concept to a large group of the employees in different positions and with different levels of IT knowledge.

Solution
Divided the employees into three groups which require different IT security knowledge for performing their jobs.

Our security experts together with our technical specialists customized a set of security awareness training materials. Based on the IT knowledge and roles requirement of the employees, we divided the employees into three major groups for trainings:
• IT Professionals
  includes IT staff such as system engineers and developers. This session mainly focuses on security in IT operation and development.
• Non-IT Users
  involves normal end users such as back office user. This session mainly focuses on common cyber
  • Management
consists of management team such as top management and departmental head. This session mainly focuses on the IT strategy and security management.

Result
After the Security Awareness Training, the employees’ security awareness is enhanced and the occurrences of security incidents are significantly decreased. Raising security awareness of the employees helps company to ensure information security and build a sustainable environment with continuous improvement.

Deliverables:
•    Information Security Management System design, setup, implementation and manual.
•    Policies, procedures and guidelines relating to ISO27001 standard.
•    Internal audit and vulnerabilities assessment.
•    Technical recommendations for system and framework improvement.
•    Practical experiences in facing ISO auditors during the qualification.

Follow-up
Due to the fast changing environment on cyber security, Ringus proactively raises our clients’ security awareness, providing security advisory, consultation and notices for distribution within the organization in addressing new cyber threats.

The statement "Certain industries will be replaced by AI" is only half true. While AI will indeed replace a significant amount of "work content," it is rare for an entire industry to vanish across the board. Instead, industries are undergoing internal division of labor, restructuring, and upgrading. Replacing Functions, Not All Roles Multiple economic studies indicate that AI will impact approximately 40% to 60% of jobs. In these cases, some processes will be automated, while others will see productivity boosted by AI. Highly repetitive tasks—such as data entry, basic customer service, and routine report writing—are easily taken over by AI. However, the same industry will simultaneously create new roles focused on supervising AI, designing processes, and integrating systems. The Risk is Real, But It’s Not Doomsday Analysts estimate that AI and automation may "expose" hundreds of millions of jobs to replacement risks, particularly in white-collar administration, customer service, and certain areas of programming. At the same time, research from the World Economic Forum and major banks predicts that AI-related transformations will create new job categories. These include machine learning engineers, AI safety and ethics experts, and digital transformation consultants. Why Humans Retain the Advantage Currently, AI excels at standardized, predictable, and data-driven tasks. For work requiring empathy, complex communication, cross-domain judgment, and creative strategy, AI remains a tool for assistance rather than a total replacement. Many studies emphasize that "Human-Machine Collaboration" will become the mainstream model: Humans set the direction, make decisions, and bear responsibility, while AI handles calculation, generation, and analysis. How to Respond: Don't Fear Replacement, Learn to Utilize It The group facing the highest career risk is often not "people affected by AI," but "people who don't know how to use AI." Within the same job function, individuals who master AI tools will possess significantly higher productivity and competitiveness than their peers. Practical actions include: Learning to deconstruct work into automatable and non-automatable components. Mastering at least one AI tool (e.g., Generative AI, RPA, Data Analysis). Strengthening "non-programmable" capabilities, such as communication and problem definition. Personal Perspective: Reframe "Displaced" as "Restructured" Instead of asking, "Will Industry X be replaced by AI?" you should ask: "Which part of this industry's value chain is most susceptible to automation, and can I position myself on the side that designs and controls these systems?" Thinking this way offers far more actionable value than abstractly worrying about being "replaced."

Speed Without the Sprawl

Leveraging OutSystems' rapid development strengths, our team achieves true Agile development, focusing intensely on user requirements. However, requirements are never fixed; they take time to refine within the project's cycle. If a developer simply builds projects based on the initial requirements, it leads to significant rework when those requirements are inevitably revised. This creates serious technical debt that can derail a project's schedule. To combat this, we strictly follow the OutSystems Canvas Design architecture to define each module's usage and content. We generalize logic into foundational modules, optimizing reusability and providing high adaptability when requirements change. This approach allows us to eliminate complicated dependencies—avoiding the deployment nightmares that plague monolithic systems. The Real-World Challenge: "The Spaghetti Monolith" We’ve all seen it. A project starts fast. The "Idea-to-App" time is record-breaking. But as sprints pass and requirements evolve, the "interest rate" on technical debt spikes. Suddenly, changing a simple UI element breaks a core business process because the logic was trapped inside the screen. Deployment becomes a "big bang" event where everything must go live at once because of circular dependencies. In our team, we don't just "code fast"; we architect for resilience. Our Solution: The 4 Layer Canvas Strategy We treat the 4 Layer Canvas not just as a suggestion, but as our structural imperative. Here is how we use it to handle volatile requirements:  Isolating Volatility (End-User Layer): We keep our User Interfaces (UI) and interaction logic in the End-User Layer. This layer is highly volatile—it changes constantly based on user feedback. By isolating it, we can redesign a "Customer Portal" without risking regressions in our core business rules.Stabilizing Business Logic (Core Layer): We abstract our entities and business rules into the Core Layer. This is the backbone of our factory. Whether the data is accessed by a Mobile App, a Web Portal, or a Timer, the validation rules remain consistent. This promotes the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle.Enabling Independent Deployments: By using Service Actions (Weak Dependencies) in our Core layer, we decouple our modules. This allows different squads to deploy changes independently without forcing a factory-wide refresh—a critical enabler for our CI/CD pipelines.The Governor: AI-Driven Architecture How do we ensure we stick to these rules when moving at Agile speeds? We don't just rely on manual code reviews; we use the AI Mentor System. This tool acts as our automated architect. It scans our entire factory to detect architectural violations that humans might miss, such as: Upward References: Preventing foundational libraries from depending on business logic.Side References: Ensuring our End-User apps don't tightly couple with one another.Circular Dependencies: Identifying the "deadly embrace" between modules that locks deployments.The AI Mentor System quantifies this debt, allowing us to pay it down proactively before it hinders our release velocity. Join a Team That Values Architecture In our Taiwan office, we believe that low-code doesn't mean "low-architecture." We are building resilient, composable enterprise ecosystems that can scale. If you are a developer who cares about structural integrity, clean code, and mastering the art of OutSystems architecture, we want to hear from you.

Does the following screenshot look familiar to you? Calendar invites that seem to appear out of nowhere in Microsoft Teams or Outlook, asking you to “review important information” or “resolve an account issue”?A phishing campaign has been found abusing Microsoft Teams calendar invites to deliver malicious links and files directly onto users’ calendars. These events often mimic Microsoft notifications, come from odd or external addresses, and include attachments such as .htm or .js files that, when opened, they can lead to credential theft, malware installation or even full remote access for the attacker.With phishing tactics evolving so quickly, ongoing awareness training remains critical and essential. Effective programs use realistic phishing simulations combined with targeted training to help employees recognize and report suspicious emails quickly, turning them into an active detection layer alongside your technical controls.At Ringus, we offer phishing simulation assessment services, with the following key features:💫Tailor-made realistic phishing templates💫Flexible campaign duration and cadence💫Comprehensive reporting and analytics with insights
