CSA HKM Knowledge Sharing Event – June 2023

In the past “Knowledge Sharing Session“, our focus has been on examining cloud computing and cybersecurity in the context of solution providers, cloud service providers, and vendors. However, we have not yet explored the usage of cloud computing by enterprises as cloud users.

Cloud service providers often try to persuade users to transition to a cloud environment, but is it truly convincing to adopt a cloud-first or cloud-native strategy?

In this knowledge sharing session, we are excited to welcome our new council member, Dicky Wong from New World Corporate Services Limited (New World Group Member), to guide us through his company’s cloud journey. He will discuss the nature of cloud environments, use cases for cloud computing, and best practices for security. Additionally, he will highlight the benefits and efficiency gains that can be achieved through the use of cloud technology.

Mr. Wong will also address security concerns when transitioning to a serverless PaaS cloud environment and discuss the appropriate security posture for cloud computing.

Participants will claim 1 CPE
