- The threat landscape in the remote cloud
- Securing identities and privileges in a multi SaaS and cloud environments versus traditional on-premise networks

Presented by: Prof Alex SIOW, Chairman CSA Singapore Chapter
In today’s connected era, a comprehensive incident response is an integral aspect of any organization aiming to manage and lower their risk profile. A good incident response needs to be useful not only when dealing with incidents caused by malicious threat actors, but should also be applicable in a variety of other situations such as downtime caused by an unexpected power outage or cut internet fiberfra due to roadworks. There are, however, different considerations when it comes to incident response for cloud-based infrastructure and systems, due in part to the nature of its shared responsibility.
Additionally, with a number of incident response standards, frameworks and guidelines available, it could be confusing for cloud providers and users to make sense of them for their cloud incident response (CIR) procedure. CSA’s CIR Framework will serve as a go-to guide for cloud users to effectively prepare for and manage the aftermath of cloud incidents, along with serving as a transparent and common framework for CSPs to share cloud incident response practices with their customers.
This talk will cover key contributions of the CIR Framework to the cloud community, and also make available a Quick Guide that distils the main objectives and overview of the CIR Framework.

Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices promise tremendous benefits and a new wave of business opportunities. This hype is best balanced with caution especially with respect to security. Along with new revenue opportunities, IoT introduces points of vulnerability for data thefts and loss of device control. Such data breaches and loss create negative impact on a large scale. With devices connected to the Internet, the large attack surface offers numerous points of peril. Come and learn from our panel of experts on the risks and how to manage the perils effectively before you embark your IoT journey.
