In a complex and hybrid world, enterprises must consider the challenges of increased real-time system complexity, the need for new cybersecurity policy and strong cultural support that is required to securely operate systems. As cyber risk has increased significantly across many organizations, the old adage of “trust, but verify” is no longer practical. The growing interest and movement toward Zero Trust architectures in the past few years has shifted this approach to the more accurate, “never trust, always verify”.
At the Cloud Security Alliance Hong Kong & Macau Summit 2022, the implications of an emerging, rich and diverse solutions landscape and the challenges to an organization’s ability to ultimately deliver a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) will be thoroughly discussed by expert speakers. Recommendations on how industry can improve collaboration among key stakeholder groups will also be offered to accelerate both enterprise leaders and security practitioners’ adoption of Zero Trust into their environments.

We have a fruitful discussion at our forum on September 14, 2022 when we touched on the terms “to acquire certification” and “accrediting cybersecurity practitioners” in the consultation paper. As the paper referred to Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore, we believe it would be better for us to understand what is CSA of Singapore’s objectives and how they define the program before we define how our future direction to be.
Cloud Security Alliance Hong Kong & Macau Chapter has invited our CSA APAC ex-colleague Anthony Lim to share his view and provide highlights to us on the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore accreditation program.
