CSAHKM Additional Sharing on Log4j on 17 December 2021

Log4j exploit is definitely the hottest topic over this week. Many of the IT company or IT support person said it is the Log4j week. We definitely do not want to be inert or reactive about this hot topic, but we should also not be over reactive by the incident.

So on top of our scheduled regular monthly knowledge sharing session event on this week 17 Dec 2021, CSA (HK & Macau Chapter) consider that it would be a good time that we squeeze 20 minutes from our sharing session and seize this time to pull in a panel to talk about this Log4j exploit attack method, defense mechanism, solutions by cloud service provider for cloud users and current trend detected about the attack in the wild and next step that we could do.

So we will have the following speakers in the panel this friday 17 Dec 2021. You just need join in the event by registering at the same knowledge sharing session link, https://csahkmkse2112.eventbrite.hk

In this seminar, Terry Cheung, Deputy Chairman – Macau of CSA HKM, will highlight the requirements of the law and the related guideline and review the work that the related organizations, the governing bodies have been contributed for compliance and the reduction of security risks and the privacy requirements will also be discussed.
