DESCRIPTION:Hear firsthand from RSA to learn what is wrong with the current information security approach and why it doesn’t work.

Despite each and every one of us toeing the line of being the next to be thrown the breach hot potato\, businesses fail to address security concerns\, or pour money into “next generation” hardware that has repeatedly and demonstrably failed to protect against attackers. \nHear firsthand from RSA to learn what is wrong with the current information security approach and why it doesn’t work.

SUMMARY:Lunch Time MTCS Talk
DESCRIPTION:Come and join us at this lunch time talk to find out about the MTCS standards and related initiatives towards understanding how it could help you in sourcing your cloud services provider. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDear ITMA Member\, \n“Catering to Different Users with Different Security Requirements – the MTCS way” \nCloud security has always been and still is the topmost concern in cloud adoption. This impediment to cloud adoption is evident in many of the surveys conducted. Do you know what are the security provisions offered by your cloud service providers (CSPs)? How could you be assured that your data and system running in the cloud is well protected? \nTo address this concern\, IDA together with IT Standards Committee and industry developed the Multi-Tier Cloud Security standards and launched in Nov 2013. Dubbed the Multi-Tier Cloud Security Standards for Singapore (MTCS SS584:2013)\, the new national standard is aimed at providing businesses with greater clarity on the levels of security offered by different CSPs. To-date\, some 10 CSPs have since been MTCS certified including major players like AWS and Microsoft. \nCome and join us at this lunch time talk to find out about the MTCS standards and related initiatives towards understanding how it could help you in sourcing your cloud services provider. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker Greg Malewski \nGreg Malewski is the Lead Infrastructure and Technology Architect at MOH Holdings\, with previous Healthcare experience gained from 3 years on the National Programme for IT in the NHS (NPfIT) in the UK as a security and systems expert. \nHe has had extensive exposure in security-related programmes in both the public sector and the private sector and has a deep appreciation of the differing requirements across the manufacturing\, finance and government sectors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \nDate: 13th January 2015\nTime: 12 PM to 1 PM\nVenue: Room 22CF-12 @ Microsoft Office @ 1 Marina Boulevard Level 22 One Marina Boulevard Singapore 018989

SUMMARY:19th IT Best Practices 2013 – The “I” in CIO is for Innovation
DESCRIPTION:The IT Best Practices (ITBP) Seminar is held to bring together CIOs\, senior management and leading IT practitioners from government and industry to consider and think about areas crucial to the IT industry in Singapore. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout ITMA Best Practices Seminar\n\nThere are many IT talks\, conference and seminars held practically every week during the year. Only once a year\, however\, does the IT Management Association (ITMA) organize a seminar targeted at the highest level of IT leaders and decision makers in Singapore. The IT Best Practices (ITBP) Seminar is held to bring together CIOs\, senior management and leading IT practitioners from government and industry to consider and think about areas crucial to the IT industry in Singapore. It is planned and organized by practicing IT leaders for practicing IT leaders and future IT leaders\, thus ensuring a unique audience of senior IT leaders at the seminar. \nThis year’s seminar theme is ‘The “I” in CIO is for Innovation”. The focus is on how the CIO is often responsible for the strategic understanding of the potential of technology in an organization’s business\, and is also often tasked to deliver those innovations. The greatest driver today for innovation in business and service is driven by changes in the digital continuum. This year\, we look at several aspects of innovation\, from how to create an innovation culture in an organization to how to consistently deliver the results of those innovations into the mainstream business. What are the threats that come from mainstream lines of business (the gorillas in the company) that naturally tend to crush the upstart new digital offerings? \nFor more information about the event\, click here.\nTo register for the event\, click here. \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopyright © 2013 ITMA\, All rights reserved.\nITMA Singapore / IT Best Practices Seminar\n\n\n\n\nContact Details\nTel: 6570 6280\nEmail: ITBP@eventspeople.com

SUMMARY:7th CIO Executive Program – CIO Study Trip 2013
DESCRIPTION:The 7th CIO Study Trip will take participants all the way to the global hub of technology and innovation\, the Silicon Valley. Participants will have a tour to Dreamworks\, meet the futurist of Google\, CEOs/COOs/CIOs of the technology and cyber security leaders of HP\, VMware\, EMC\, FireEye\, Palo Alto and Unity Technologies and tour their innovative campuses. \n\n\n\nOur entire troupe of over 40 CIOs met on a sunny Saturday afternoon for our flight out to San Francisco and the start of the 7th ITMA CIO Study Trip. \nSuitably exhausted after a 17 hour journey\, we checked into our hotel in Union Square and rested in preparation for our packed itinerary. Thankfully\, our organizers had given us most of the first day to get our bearings and we spent the majority of the day exploring the city and enjoying the sites and food. \nMonday began with a tour of Google’s campus and Google Innovations in which we understood the why Google is where it is today – by putting the customer in the heart of everything they do. This was followed by a lunch at the iconic Google Café. We were impressed! \nIn the afternoon we were hosted by Nir Zuk\, CTO of Palo Alto Networks and treated to a fine presentation on the benefits of securing our networks using Palo Alto’s enterprise suite. One of his most important insights was how he managed the company’s Board by setting them clear boundaries\, especially during the economic downturn in 2008. He also shared his experience of demoing Palo Alto’s software by inserting the software in their customer’s network and sharing the data gathered – everything from network usage to malware sites visited. Few companies had turned them down after Palo Alto’s demonstration. Towards the end of his presentation\, Mr Zuk stressed the importance of showing the value of your product. \nTuesday morning started off with us visiting VMware\, a company at the forefront of virtualization and cloud based software. Our presenters Jonathan\, Paul Strong (CTO)\, John Gilmartin (VP Cloud Infrastructure Products) illuminated us on a variety of exciting topics\, including the importance of software and virtualization\, the proliferation of applications that solve basic consumer problems\, the growing role of cloud computing in business transformation\, and the unpredictably of managing users with multiple (sometimes up to 5) devices. We were also treated to a presentation on a number of unique innovations being developed by VMware. \nOur afternoon began with an insightful presentation from FireEye\, a leader in global network security. We were lucky enough to be hosted by the founder and CTO Ashar Aziz as well as Jeff Williams (VP of Sales)\, and Julie Cullivan (CIO). FireEye is focussed on providing security for a variety organisation\, including governments\, and we were presented with their strategy for combatting the threats of the day. FireEye does not rely heavily on pattern-based or signature-based threat detection. Instead\, their patented dynamic-based analysis tool sits on the network and monitors threats in real-time – something which is unusual in network security. As described by Ashar\, the older security model\, employing pattern-based detection\, is no longer effective and are porous in the face of sophisticated attacks. \nHalf of our trip complete\, and on Wednesday we were on our way to the newly opened Berkeley Innovation Lab\, at the Haas School of Business. The new i-Lab is built using a modular structure to facilitate group work and foster creative discussions. We learnt about some of the exciting innovations taking place at the i-Lab\, including the high performance network facilities\, as well as some of the courses being taught. \nThe afternoon saw us shepherded to lunch at EMC\, an IT company specializing in data storage\, information security\, analytics and a variety of other sectors. The speaker for the day was Brian Wilson Senior Director at Pivotal\, a company at the intersection of cloud and big data – helping enterprises modernise their data infrastructure and applications\, and embrace the cloud. Annika Jimenez\, Senior Director for Analytics Solutions\, presented EMC’s capabilities. Our final speaker was Michael Foley a data scientist speaking about the practical applications of data\, particularly in solving problems. \nThursday began with a trip to HP’s Palo Alto campus. As a leading technology company\, the breadth of innovation taking place in HP is incredible. We spent some time learning about the various interesting developments taking place in HP. Our trip ended with a visit to HP Labs\, the exploratory and advanced research group within HP employing hundreds of researchers. \nAlthough we had learnt a lot about the technical and strategic details of the various companies\, one of our most interesting tours was of the DreamWorks Animation Studios. We were treated to a live demonstration of how the animators create the spectacle that is a DreamWorks film\, starting from initial sketches made on tablets\, all the way through to the final animations and effects – bringing the characters to life. \nThe last full day of our trip began with a visit to the computer storage and data management organisation Netapp. We were hosted by Julie Parrish (CMO)\, Jay Kidd (CTO)\, and Brendon Howe (VP of Product and Solutions Marketing). Julie began her talk by describing Netapp’s place in the corporate enterprise world – as a leading data and storage management solutions provider – before moving onto Netapp’s core strategy: innovation\, partnership\, and culture. For Netapp\, innovation is only innovation if it leads to customer success. Jay’s talk focussed on the influence of cloud infrastructure in data storage solutions and the shift in the role of the CIO as a builder of IT infrastructure into a broker of IT services. Brendon described how Netapp had to pivot to better serve their customers and fulfil their specific use cases. Brendon’s talk concluded with a description of Netapp’s “go to market approach”\, which provided them the flexibility to better serve their customers. \nOur amazing week was topped off by a fascinating look inside the world of the iconic Apple\, Inc. Our little troupe were hosted by CIO Niall O’Connor\, a leader who had been instrumental in making Apple one of the most valuable companies of the 21st century. \nThe trip was an eye-opening and educational experience for all involved. In just a week\, even our seasoned CIOs learnt a thing or two about the latest developments in technology and business. We also had a lot of fun\, interspersed with many laughs and great food! The friendships forged during the trip will certainly be something to cherish for a long time to come. \nLastly\, we want to thank all our wonderful partners who hosted us in San Francisco\, and making the trip a highly memorable one. \nAs they say\, a picture paints a thousand words\, by looking at the photos and quotes from our participants\, you will know how much you have missed out on if you were not there.

SUMMARY:Engaging the Board Series: ITMA CIO Executive Summit 2013 - 24 July 2013
DESCRIPTION:The 7th Annual ITMA CIO Executive Summit on July 24th\, was an invigorating conference packed with illuminating talks\, lively discussions between CIO panellists\, and of course delicious food and drink. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThe 7th Annual ITMA CIO Executive Summit on July 24th\, was an invigorating conference packed with illuminating talks\, lively discussions between CIO panellists\, and of course delicious food and drink. \nThe keynote speaker for the afternoon was acclaimed businessman and entrepreneur John Sculley. As former President of PepsiCo and CEO of Apple\, Mr Sculley experienced two distinct visions on how to build a business and he began his presentation by comparing the merits of both. In the corporate button-down environment of PepsiCo\, the leadership was motivated strictly by profit and market share. In stark contrast\, Apple never focused on competing with its rivals\, rather the leadership wanted to reshape the world and create completely new industries. \n \nSetting the tone of the talk\, Mr Sculley dived into one important experience he had with the Board of Apple. Sculley’s mandate from the Board was to make the Apple II competitive in the market. In contrast\, the only aim of the Chairman of the Macintosh Group – Steve Jobs – was to make beautiful products that would change the world. The Board had to content with the two competing visions and after the failure of the Macintosh Office\, they ultimately decided to focus on selling the Apple II. Jobs disagreed with the decision and he was asked to step-down. The internal struggle at Apple was a classic example of a real-life crisis a Board would have to address. \nNext\, Mr Sculley dwelled briefly on the contrasting ideologies between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. While the former focused on creating exceptional user-experiences\, the latter was ready to make any compromise to put computers in the hands of everyone. Despite their differences\, Jobs and Gates were unified in their disregard for making money. It was never their motivation to become wealthy\, it just happened to be a by-product of their ultimate goals. \n \nShifting gears\, Sculley then described the difficulties he faced as a non-technical CEO of a high-tech company. He was often in the unenviable position of having to make tough calls\, with the line between a successful product and a failure being very thin. Indeed his most pertinent advice for current CEOs was to get a good mentor. \nOne of the most interesting lessons Sculley learnt from his years at Apple was the importance of a consistent company message. In fact he challenged the CIOs to go through their company and interview different employees and see whether they were getting the same message. \nIn conclusion\, Sculley remarked that the commoditization of technology meant that the half-life of innovation can now be measured in months. So\, how can companies and CEOs build a successful business? According to Sculley\, CEOs should build around a particularly domain expertise. \n \nFollowing Mr Sculley’s illuminating talk\, CEO of Sakae Holdings Mr Douglas Foo spoke briefly about how he intends to make the brand the McDonalds or Starbucks of Sushi. In his talk\, Mr Foo described how Sakae’s focus on automation has helped it remain profitable while providing a high-quality brand of sushi to the masses. \nAfter Mr Foo’s presentation\, Mr Loh Khai Peng\, MD of HP Singapore hosted an exciting panel of some of the leading CIOs in the region. Amidst the ongoing disruptions in technology\, Tony Cole\, Fireye\, Ramesh Narayanaswamy\, SingPost\, Mock Pak Lum\, Starhub\, and Eric Tachibana\, UBS\, discussed the strategies they employed to communicate with their Board members. \n \nNext Mr Ong Peng Tsin Chairman of Infocomms Investments and one of the most successful and low-profile technopreneurs\, spoke about the evolving role of CIOs from “Information” Officers to “Innovation” Officers. As a result\, the role of CIOs has changed from back-end operations to a driver of the business. Mr Ong also briefly touched on the lack of interest in computer science studies in Singapore. However\, he remained optimistic about the future with the recent influx of VC funded start-ups in the region. \nThe last speaker of the day was the enigmatic Founder and Director of Family Wealth Solutions Mr Eli Lenyoun discussing the growing importance of Corporate Social Responsibility. “CSR” used to be about philanthropy and compliance\, but has become closer to the business as a whole. Since young people today are more interested in “making the world a better place”\, organisations are having to step up and take responsibility. \n \nThe final event of the day was the sponsor’s panel hosted by Dr Leong Mun Kew\, ISS\, NUS and featuring Arthur Tang\, HP Enterprise Group\, Sharat Sinha\, Palo Alto Networks\, Wing Fu\, Unit4\, and Matthey Hardman\, VMWare. This panel had an interesting twist with the speakers relating their personal opinions about their organisations CIO – “a peer review”. \nView more photos and video of the event here.
