Hello, Grex!

Hello, Grex!
I'm a new Grex member. Thanks for the validation.
I'm a fifty-something U.S. expatriate living in Japan for the last 25+ years.
Computer programming has been a hobby since my first exposure to BASIC on a
university mainframe during a junior high summer camp back in the late 1970s
(we got to do FORTRAN on punch cards, too!), and my interest has deepened as
my work has become less technical over the course of my career (I'm currently
an IT security auditor).
I heard about Grex several years ago, but was encouraged to join and actually
find out about the place and community by my friend and fellow-SDF member
tfurrows. I'm looking forward to learning.
I hope it was alright for me to borrow this space to introduce myself.
Sincerely yours,
--

Hello David
I'm interested in your IT security auditing. What are some of the
standards and controls you are encountering in Japan?

Welcome papa, very glad to see you on here! Post all you like to bbs, it could
use the activity :) saw you in party as well, hope I'll catch you there live
someday. If you're interested in some coding, there are some thoughts on
changing up party to be a little more friendly... plenty to do here with some
time and energy if one wants to. The staff here are pretty open to new ideas,
so definitely share them!

Neonicontinoid, our company and a few of its larger subsidiaries are required
report under the Japan version of SOX, but most of our subsidiaries are so
small that we have a less formal process to help them implement minimal IT
security controls like malware controls, vulnerability controls, information
leakage countermeasures, etc.
