Data Controls and Metrics in Asia Pacific - 1 views

  •  
    Developed countries from the West are not the only ones who are upgrading their systems against insurance theft. With the widespread of technology and the integration of new knowledge and computer geniuses, even those living in the suburbs of Africa now has their own system to secure their data and confidential information. Axis Capital, with group of insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda, Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore and in over ten states in the US, is one of the many companies reported to first integrate a more tighter security system in the start of 2015 in the Asia-Pacific. Data theft and fraud are fast becoming key issues for regulators and law enforcement across Asia-Pacific, as elsewhere. Insurers are paying close attention to the new data privacy rules being drafted in response to the increased risks. According to reviews, regional and global insurers with operations in the Asia Pacific region also are grappling with the issue of data sovereignty - which can be transmitted among jurisdictions - as the data privacy regulations vary across the region. More stringent data protection rules in Australia and Singapore also may create questions about the identity of countries in which insurers store their data. A subpoena issued by a government to an insurer to provide certain data requires knowledge of where it has been physically stored. Insurers also will need to identify new metrics and processes to monitor data security and compliance. Many insurers in the region will continue to enhance their data controls in the latter part of 2015, prompted primarily by new and stricter regulations. Asia-Pacific insurers must pay closer attention to the changing cyber security laws and focus more stringently on data security, network crime legislation and law enforcement. Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act, for example, includes rules on the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. The law establishes penalt

Producing Power from Geothermal Energy - 2 views

  •  
    Our Earth's core is made up of 4 billion year old gas and dust consolidation. This core generates heat; at 4000 miles deep temperatures can move 9000 degrees F. Relative to humanity's lifecycle Earth Core heat or Geothermal Energy signifies a boundless energy means. It has been an engineering challenge tapping into this energy source. Heat induces transmission form the core onto the mantel and then into the dense rock layers creating magma that travels gradually up headed to the surface. In this track it heats up rocks and water that slides to the cracks all the way up to 700 degrees F. Our planet has an area meant by geological systems that uncover high heat levels at comparative low depths termed Pacific Ring of Fire. Geothermal energy can be applied straight for industrial or commercial applications and likewise at consumer level for precise applications. The finest application is the usage of this energy for electric power generation. Our current ecosystem operates primarily on electric power and consuming a dependable and constant source of green energy will help sustain an ecological balance. Unfortunately, some people had managed to incorporate scams regarding this topic. To tap into this limitless energy resource is a systematic procedure and with no complaints. There is a pre-drilling stage that entails of geographical, geological and geophysical reviews. Applying this data a drilling point is designated for an exploration hole. Because of this hole the engineers can examine details of the sub-terrain aquifer,
