Tech Pioneers Gather at World Cyber Security Summit – ASEAN

The 12th global edition of the World Cyber Security Summit – ASEAN will virtually gather over 350 attendees to discuss the future adoption of cyber security solutions, new-age technologies to protect businesses from cyberattacks, and how South East Asia’s tech infrastructure will be boosted into the new baseline.

Notable speakers include Dato’ Dr Haji Amirudin bin Abdul Wahab, Harish Sekar, Francel Margareth Taborlupa, Dr. Soontorn Sirapaisan, Zane Lim, Col Joey T Fontiveros SC, Yaron Slutzky, Frankie Shuai Director, Virag Thakkar, Leonardo Hutabarat & more.

Taking place virtually on 12 April 2022, the 12th global edition of World Cyber Security Summit – ASEAN will focus on topics such as:

– Government’s Approach to Cyber Security: Safe National Cyber Space;
– Cyber Security and Data Protection for Banking and Financial Institutions;
– HMI/SCADA Dangers and Cyber Security Strategies;
– Automated Hacking, Deepfakes and Other Cyber Threats of 2022;
– Real-Life Use Cases on How to Combat Cyber-Attacks, and much more.

The core objective of the event is to incorporate cyber security in ASEAN enterprises to protect the fastest growing digital economies in ASEAN member countries in the next 10 years. The cyber security plan by ASEAN Member States is crucial to ensuring the integrity of their digital economies. With the implementation of cyber security measures, the digital economy in ASEAN member countries will be able to grow further.

Rising cyber threats and a lack of cyber security leadership are the biggest challenges facing the development of digital economies in ASEAN. With digital economies rapidly growing in ASEAN, the need for cyber security leaders who can implement the best cyber security practices across the region is more pressing than ever.

The surge is causing governments to support sectors such as Telecommunications, Finance, E-commerce, BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, FMCG, Logistics and many more at the World Cyber Security Summit – ASEAN, which will help boost demand for enterprise cyber security products, services, and consumer software in the country.

What next for the continent?

Enterprises and governments are stepping up strengthening internet infrastructure and improving the solutions and assistance provided by the software industry in order to protect their citizens from future cyber-attacks.

Apart from that, factors such as the need for unified cyber solutions, increased internet subscriptions, data disclosure mandates, enhanced enterprise mobility, and increased spending patterns on security forums are fueling the nation’s demand for cyber security solutions.

“The economic well-being of ASEAN nations is becoming increasingly dependent on the digital realm. Governments can protect their economies and citizens by implementing appropriate digital security protocols,” stated Mithun Shetty, CEO, Trescon.

The remote working concept has become normal for many companies today. According to global data from an HR company, employees want to continue using the model based on half of their time working remotely and the rest (47%) in the office. Remote and hybrid work has become a necessity that all companies must prepare for and manage in terms of balance between security and productivity.

A successful cyberattack can disrupt the services of any business connected to the Internet, and over 90% of successful cyberattacks occur through email. According to a customer survey conducted by CITIC Telecom CPC in February, over 60% of survey respondents view email security as the biggest security challenge. Most respondents think cyberattacks can interrupt business operations, damage their business’ reputation and potentially lead to loss of sales. Meanwhile, 75% of respondents are considering upgrading their current email security or infrastructure platform to protect against cybersecurity threats. Therefore, an effective security solution is vital to safeguard enterprises’ businesses.

With greater synergies, clients will benefit from cost, support and coverage efficiencies.

  • Full protection and scalability: Cyber security & data recovery are both important to safeguard business operations.

The strategic partnership fully addresses regional enterprises’ data storage requirements; empowers high-grade email security solutions to companies of any size to combat all types of email threats especially malware, spoofing emails, phishing, CEO fraud and other email-borne attacks.
  • Professional global support: In a hybrid-remote work model, employees will work in multiple locations, multiple time zones with multiple devices anywhere anytime. All-in-one Email security suite backed by Green Radar’s two Security Operations Centers (SOC) in Hong Kong and Singapore, and CITIC Telecom CPC’s 19 Global Cloud Service Platform, provide global managed services support around-the-clock across regions, with Peace-of-Mind protection.
  • Cost-effective: Enterprises could lose up to a million dollars on average from a security incident, in addition to company goodwill. Green Radar and CITIC Telecom CPC All-in-one Email security suite provide full managed services to enterprises and total access to the cutting-edge email security solutions at just a fraction of the cost, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).

“By partnering with CITIC Telecom CPC, we reaffirm our mission to provide all sizes of enterprises with email threat detection and response and in-depth threat analysis.

CAP Consumer Survey Shows the Benefits of Site Blocking

The Coalition Against Piracy’s (CAP’s) most recent YouGov consumer surveys show that while piracy continues to be a major concern around the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines where 61% of consumers admit to accessing pirate services in each country, site blocking, and in particular government regulatory blocking, is having a noticeable effect in stopping consumers accessing pirated content online.

Countries around the region that implement site-blocking showed a change in consumer behaviour to stop accessing piracy services due to sites being blocked and the change was most notable in those countries that used regulatory blocking. In Indonesia, more than 50% of consumers say that they have stopped or rarely access pirate services as a result of blocking, as do nearly 50% of consumers in Vietnam and 45% in Malaysia.

Encouragingly, the surveys show that regular site-blocking not only stops consumers accessing pirated content online, but also drives them towards legitimate sources, with more than 48% of consumers around the region stating they would subscribe to paid online services if the content they wanted to watch was not available via a pirate source.

Matthew Cheetham, General Manager of CAP, noted, “It is now clearly evident that site blocking, particularly regulatory blocking, is effective. The benefits are multi-fold, not only are consumers being directed towards legitimate content, but in being blocked from accessing pirate sites, they are also protected from the serious risks that previous CAP studies have proven are inherent in accessing pirate sites.” The surveys also illustrated the growing migration of consumption of pirate content via social media and messaging platforms. “However, the surveys also show the benefits of consumer education with a growing awareness amongst consumers of the negative consequences of piracy, most particularly via illicit profiteering and malware,” added Cheetham.

For the first time, CAP’s YouGov consumer surveys were undertaken across several countries simultaneously. The surveys will be repeated across the same countries annually, and in doing so, will enable longitudinal analysis of consumer behavioural trends towards piracy and enforcement measures around the region.

Trustifi Expands Global Footprint, Signing with New Zealand MSP Secure Right

New Agreement Enhances Trustifi’s Already Impressive Reach Among Worldwide Cyber Security Solution Providers in North & South America, Europe, the UAE, and Asia

Trustifi, the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) email encryption security company, announces it is expanding its global footprint throughout New Zealand and Australia, signing MSP and security specialists Secure Right, located in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Secure Right offers specialized, best practice cybersecurity products and services to business organizations in both of the above-mentioned countries.

Secure Right makes a fine addition to Trustifi’s roster of clientele throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. As a global cybersecurity provider of both inbound and outbound email protection, Trustifi currently supports customers from countries including the USA, Canada, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, the UK, the Netherlands, India, the UAE, China, Japan, Cyprus, the Philippines, and more. The company has also developed “Once Click Compliance” capabilities that cater to a range of security regulations the world-over, including PDPO for Hong Kong, POPI for South Africa, GDPR for Europe, and LGPD for Brazil.

In addition to its growing international presence, Trustifi was recently recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor for its Outbound Shield, Inbound Shield, and Email Account Compromise Detection solution in the 2021 Gartner Market Guide for Email Security. The company offers government-grade email encryption, data loss protection, anti-malware, antivirus, and threat detection solutions. Trustifi’s solutions employ advanced AI filters and optical character recognition to combat the most sophisticated threats from malicious actors – who are leveraging AI and similar techniques to conduct devastating imposter attacks on C-level executives.

These incidents are not easily detected by traditional SEG (security email gateway)-based solutions, since SEGs function solely by screening already-blacklisted IP addresses. Trustifi’s tools can interpret context and flag keywords like “wire transfer” and “bank account,” alerting users to these more sophisticated threats before they can do damage. Furthermore, if organizations apply effective and easy-to-use outbound encryption, imposter attacks are less likely in the first place, since hackers can’t intercept the high-level messages required to orchestrate them.

“We’re thrilled to enhance our presence in the global marketplace by working with Secure Right, one of New Zealand’s most formidable, up-and-coming cyber security providers,” said Rom Hendler, CEO and co-founder of Trustifi. “We look forward to helping them proliferate easy-to-use, effective, and powerful encryption to their growing base of customers, to increase adoption of email security and improve compliance to regulations across the world.”

Trustifi’s solutions deliver an exceptional range of capabilities to its end-users, due to a unique use of its proprietary cloud-based platform. Sent emails reside not on the recipient’s server, but on Trustifi’s hosted platform for as long as the sender designates. This allows emails to be altered, recipients changed, and attachments swapped even after those messages have been opened.

“In a global environment where one breached password could cause major disruption even in the most prominent of companies, it’s crucial to offer a comprehensive and layered approach to security services. Top-notch email security is crucial to that strategy,” said SecureRight’s CEO Thomas Hartley. “We’re impressed with Trustifi’s distinctive cloud-based infrastructure and the extraordinary abilities it provides, allowing end-users much greater control to recall and revise content that’s already been sent, in addition to a broad list of simple, one-click compliance capabilities. We look forward to seeing this powerful solution implemented among our business end-users, creating more thoroughly secure environments across-the-board.”

About Trustifi
Trustifi is a cybersecurity firm featuring solutions delivered on a software-as-a-service platform. Trustifi leads the market with the easiest-to-use and deploy email security products providing both inbound and outbound email security from a single vendor. The most valuable asset to any organization, other than its employees, is the data contained in its email, and Trustifi’s key objective is keeping clients’ data, reputations, and brands safe from all threats related to email. With Trustifi’s Inbound Shield, Data Loss Prevention, and Email Encryption, clients are always one step ahead of attackers. www.trustifi.com Follow Trustifi: Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

AVIA Appoints Matthew Cheetham as General Manager of the Coalition Against Piracy

The Asia Video Industry Association has appointed Matthew Cheetham as General Manager of the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) with immediate effect.

Matthew Cheetham

Over the last four years CAP has made real inroads into the systemic problems of video piracy faced by the broadcast and streaming video industry in Asia Pacific. The blocking of pirate sites is becoming more common in many markets, laws have been introduced to limit access to infringing set-top devices, constructive relationships have been forged with intermediaries to limit access to pirate services and investigations and prosecutions have been effected. And yet the problem remains the single biggest impediment to the growth of the legitimate content creation industry and ecosystem.

As the General Manager of CAP, Cheetham will take over from Aaron Herps and build on the accomplishments achieved by CAP to date, with the aim of creating a stronger and healthier environment in which the video industry can prosper.

Cheetham is a qualified lawyer specializing in intellectual property, more specifically copyright protection, with over 20 years’ experience working in Asia-Pacific (APAC) for some of the largest content producers in the world. Prior to taking up his role at CAP, Cheetham was the Premier League’s Head of Business Affairs, Asia Pacific. In this role, Cheetham opened and headed up the Premier League’s APAC office in Singapore, the Premier League’s first office outside the UK, and oversaw all enforcement, policy and outreach efforts for the Premier League in APAC.

“CAP is critically important to AVIA and the industry as a whole and I am delighted that in Matt we have such a seasoned and experienced executive taking over. Matt will bring his own ideas and energy to the role and I am confident CAP and the industry’s anti-piracy efforts will grow in strength under him,” said Louis Boswell, Chief Executive Officer, AVIA.

Prior to working for the Premier League, Cheetham spent ten years as the Motion Picture Association’s (MPA) Regional Legal Counsel and Assistant Policy Officer for APAC following which he was the Managing Director of the MPA’s New Zealand office, the New Zealand Screen Association (NZSA) that oversaw all enforcement, policy and outreach efforts for MPA member companies in New Zealand.

Horangi and Amazon Web Services Launch Holistic Cloud Security Offering to Help Businesses Accelerate Cloud Development

Horangi, today launched Resilience and Excellence with Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Horangi (REA&H), a holistic security offering that provides customers with comprehensive cloud risk assessments and bespoke solutions that align with their desired business outcomes and drive innovation.

Cloud-based solutions are becoming ubiquitous in APAC as businesses in the region recognize that they can realize cost savings, gain competitive advantages, especially in crowded markets, and easily achieve scalability. The region’s cloud market is forecasted to lead the world in cloud adoption with cloud spending reaching US$200 billion by 2024.

To help these organizations, Horangi worked with AWS Professional Services to develop REA&H to provide customers with a solution to protect critical workloads and data through added layers of security on the cloud. In designing the solution, AWS and Horangi identified key drivers and challenges that companies adopting cloud today face, mapping them to frameworks governing cloud security operations, workload control patterns, threats, and other critical components on the cloud.

To gain the full benefits of using the cloud, REA&H helps organizations using the cloud gain real-time visibility to risks, rapidly remediate threats, and accelerate compliance with regional financial regulations including BNM-RMiT, OJK and MAS TRM.

“We are thrilled and honored to partner with AWS to launch REA&H as a joint and holistic security offering which draws on our complementary strengths. The AWS Professional Services Team is a world-class service provider trusted by companies, many of which are Fortune 500 organizations. With their collective experience and expertise, the AWS Professional Services Team has helped companies realize business goals for their cloud investments with their unique methodology based on Amazon’s internal best practices. We are excited to help companies reinforce their security today and galvanize themselves to defend against tomorrow’s cyber threats,” said Paul Hadjy, CEO and Co-Founder of Horangi.

“Horangi plays a crucial role in helping our customers in the region improve their cyber security,” said Santanu Dutt, Head of Technology, ASEAN, AWS. “We recognize Horangi’s deep experience working with ASEAN organizations and saw a great opportunity for AWS Professional Services to collaborate with Horangi to enable our customers to innovate securely in the cloud.”

Anand Nirgudkar, CTO at CardUp, commenting at the launch of REA&H, said, “As our region goes digital at an accelerating pace, consumers will be increasingly reliant on the strong security practices by financial institutions to protect their data. The joint REA&H solution comes at an opportune time when enterprises and cloud-native organizations need to develop robust security programs for growth. We are incredibly excited about the potential impact of this solution created by cloud leaders AWS and Horangi.”

Horangi among first cybersecurity companies in Asia to attain SOC 2 Type II Certification

Horangi, a Singapore HQ cybersecurity company which provides solutions optimised for Southeast Asia companies, announced it has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type II Compliance and Certification, making it one of the first cybersecurity companies in Asia to do so. This is a testament to Horangi’s ongoing dedication to advancing its security program, and reaffirms its commitment to meeting trust services criteria in information and data security.

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), the SOC 2 compliance framework is internationally recognised as the gold standard for security compliance for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies. It requires companies to establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures encompassing the security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data. Horangi identified shortfalls and introduced the fundamental changes required to strengthen the necessary security controls.

Certification involves a technical auditing process that validates internal control policies and practices, ensuring the organisation is operating in accordance with SOC 2 standards. Organisations are required to demonstrate the effectiveness of their information security control environment for a period of 3 to 12 months. Coalfire, conducting the audit over a 4-month review period for security and confidentiality criteria, concluded that Horangi upheld the essential criteria around secure data management for its cloud security products and services.

The newly acquired SOC 2 certification further bolsters Horangi’s CREST-accredited cybersecurity consulting services and Gartner-recognised Warden cloud security platform after the company was inducted into programs by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) earlier in the year.

Paul Hadjy, CEO and Co-founder, Horangi, said: “Attaining the SOC 2 Type II certification demonstrates Horangi’s dedication to meeting the most rigorous security and confidentiality standards at a time where data breaches and misuse are prevalent. We developed more than twenty policies and implemented new procedures and tools, enhancing our monitoring and security management capabilities according to the stringent prerequisites of the SOC 2 certification. It has been an intense but fruitful year-long endeavour for the Horangi team, and we remain committed to enhancing our services in alignment with evolving industry requirements.”

Horangi leveraged its flagship cloud security platform, Warden, to manage configurations, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and potential vulnerabilities for deployment of these new policies and procedures. This was streamlined by the use of JumpCloud for onboarding, offboarding, access management and monitoring.

“The best practices are built into our daily operations, throughout every team from the technical team to people operations, enabling us to achieve optimal security outcomes for organisations we serve. Constant innovation in alignment with best-in-class practices has been a key facet of our growth strategy, and will continue to drive our success as a cloud security leader in Asia,” added Hadjy.

Horangi Warden currently includes APAC-focused compliance automation that supports standards such as MAS TRM, BNM-RMiT, OJK, and APRA. Support for upcoming standards such as the PDPA in Thailand will be incorporated on a regular basis. Horangi also obtained the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency and Public Sector Competency earlier in 2021, positioning it to maintain its leading market position and magnifying the effectiveness of its solutions in a rapidly digitalising economy.
