ITMA - The State of Cybersecurity: Uncovering the Hard Truths, Monday 22 June 2015
2015-06-22 19:30 - 21:30 | TANGERINE Resorts World Sentosa Singapore,, ESPA, Level 1 (Equarius Hotel) 8 Sentosa Gateway, Sentosa, Singapore 09826, Singapore
ITMA has collaborated with Symantec to share the significance of data intelligence in helping companies establish a more robust and resilient security strategy to better prepare for, protect, detect, and respond to emerging threats; advancement in big data telemetry; and benefits of investing in incident response and security operations centre to companies.

No organization is immune to cyberattacks in this day and age. Regardless of company size and industry, handling millions of threats and attacks on a daily basis is the new norm. Moreover, with companies beginning to plan for the Internet of Things (IoT), or even adopt 3rd platform technologies, IT security decisions are becoming more complicated, and companies are acknowledging the adage that security is only as strong as the weakest link holds true.

ITMA: BE THE HUNTER, NOT THE HUNTED (Escaping Security's Dark Ages)
2015-06-05 18:00 - 20:00 | M Hotel Singapore,, 80 Anson Road, Singapore 079908, Singapore
Hear firsthand from RSA to learn what is wrong with the current information security approach and why it doesn’t work. More importantly, learn how the industry needs to evolve if we are to protect people (and keep our jobs!), and what we need to do to get there.

Dear ITMA Members,
Information security is a tough IT discipline, and all it takes is one bungled breach to end careers and ruin reputations. 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.

Lunch Time MTCS Talk
2015-01-13 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Office @, 1 Marina Boulevard, Singapore
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.

Dear ITMA Member,
“Catering to Different Users with Different Security Requirements – the MTCS way”
Cloud 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?
To 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.
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.

About our speaker Greg Malewski
Greg 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.
He 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.

19th IT Best Practices 2013 – The “I” in CIO is for Innovation
2013-11-01 08:30 - 17:00 | InterContinental Singapore 80, Middle Road Singapore 188966 Ballroom I & II, Level 2, 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.

About ITMA Best Practices Seminar

There 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.
This 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?
