RSA Conference Asia Pacific 2013 in Singapore from 5-6 June 2013.
The RSA Conference Asia Pacific 2013 aims to grow Singapore’s cybersecurity thought-leadership sphere in the region by creating value-added platforms to discuss the challenges and solutions in today’s increasingly complex security environment.
The RSA Conference Asia Pacific 2013 features approximately 50 sessions spanning the following 5 tracks:
- Cybercrime & Law Enforcement
- Mobile Security
- Security Infrastructure
- Cloud Security
- Data and Application Security
SSIPO is a strategic alliance between the Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to support private companies in undertaking R&D in Singapore and build new solutions to detect threats and protect data.
RSA is the security division of EMC and offers intelligence-driven security solutions.
With the digital era ushering in an increased awareness of the security threats in the cyberspace, participants will learn about IT security challenges from both a global and Asia Pacific perspective through a series of keynote sessions presented by leading security industry experts and guests speakers.
Catch Me If You Can
Guest speaker and famous fraud expert, Frank Abagnale will deliver the Conference’s closing keynote on Thursday, June 6 at RSA Conference Asia Pacific 2013 in Singapore.
Abagnale is the subject of the best-selling book, hit movie and Broadway musical, “Catch Me if You Can” (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie).
The Cybercrime and Law Enforcement track has been specifically developed for RSA Conference Asia Pacific
It will discuss cybercrime and its effect on all stakeholders, bringing in law enforcement perspectives and looking into digital forensics techniques and strategies in tackling cybercrimes.
This is a demonstration of the intent of both SSIPO and RSA to enter into meaningful public-private partnerships to address security threats.
The hope is to offer valuable insight and raise common awareness of cyber threats, especially as cybercrime and cyber security pose greater challenges in an increasingly connected Asia Pacific region.
Silver Tail 4.0
RSA announced today the availability of the RSA Silver Tail 4.0 web threat detection solution.
This is the first release since the acquisition of Silver Tail in October 2012.
The solution is engineered to leverage the power of Big Data to help security and fraud teams visualize and quickly analyze millions of user web-session activities to identify fraud, security threats and business logic abuse in real-time.
Art Coviello, Executive Vice President of EMC Corporation and Executive Chairman of RSA, The Security Division of EMC kicked off the inaugural RSA Conference Asia Pacific today with the opening keynote.
Art outlined how leveraging Big Data approaches to security can help make the much-needed intelligence-driven security model a reality for organizations in the face of growing and sophisticated cyber attacks.
Art explained that within many organizations, a lack of understanding and knowledge and unbalanced security budgets are current impediments to the adoption of an intelligence-driven security model.
He recommends that an intelligence-driven security must be taken on the part of company boards of directors and C-level executives, practitioners, governments and vendors to help organizations be effective against the sophisticated cyber threat landscape.
Singaporeans heading to Israel for Cyber Security Skills Training
RSA has announced its intent to enter into multi-year agreement with the EDB in an effort to train Singaporean candidates for careers in cyber security and combating online fraud.
This initiative is in response to the global shortage of qualified cyber security professionals needed to help defend critical IT infrastructures in civilian and government organizations.
RSA and the Singapore EDB will seek qualified graduates from Singapore universities and existing cyber security professionals to take part in a multi-year residency and repatriation program designed to train candidates with the latest skills needed for cyber security and anti-fraud careers.
Selected candidates will be enrolled in one- or two-year residency training rotations at the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center in Israel through a new grant program administered by the Singapore EDB.
Qualified residency candidates will return to Singapore and be eligible for placement in cyber security or anti-fraud analyst positions at RSA or within the cyber security industry in Singapore.
