The summit aims to attract 1500+ pre-qualified cybersecurity experts (in-person & virtual) including the Heads of Information Security, Risk, Compliance, Forensics and Cyber Law from the leading public and private enterprises across Africa.

In an interview preceding the summit, Timothy Were (Deputy Director, Ministry of ICT – Kenya) stated his thoughts when asked about the reason behind majority of the African companies still not taking a major step to improve their cyber-defense, he expressed, “Ignorance, fear of exposure that could decrease customer and regulator confidence in the firms and not being alive to the fact that the ground is changing could be some of the reasons why firms are not improving their defense.”

He also added, “I would like to welcome each and every one of you to the CyFrica 4th edition, Karibu Kenya.”

She further added, “Now more than ever, it is crucial that we work together to identify and tackle cybersecurity threats in order to bring Africa’s digitization initiatives and aspirations to fruition.”

While talking about the state of Africa’s cybersecurity, Anna Collard (SVP Content Strategy & Evangelist, KnowBe4) mentioned, “According to KnowBe4’s African Cybersecurity Awareness survey released in early 2022, 54% of respondents did not know what a ransomware attack is and 34% have lost money because they fell victim to a scam. To ensure Africa’s people benefit from the increasing digitisation public and private sectors need to do more to raise consumer awareness around cybersecurity and threats and build a security culture within their own organisations.”

The summit will power two knowledge-packed days filled with insightful presentations on the most pressing industry topics, deep dive panel discussions with the leading thought leaders, live showcase of the best cybersecurity solutions and abundant networking opportunities.

We are seeing more and more companies’ cloud migration strategies accelerating, with hybrid cloud becoming the de-facto standard. The need to protect and secure hybrid cloud networks from cyber-attacks has become mission critical. When deploying applications into the public cloud, the security model becomes more nuanced, bringing on-board many challenges. With Gigamons Deep Observability Pipeline we overcome many if not all these challenges by providing access to all the data that we broker to the security tools, any source any destination. Our team will be happy to discuss the challenges and how Gigamon can help. We look forward to meeting you during the event.”

Organizer and CEO of Tradepass, Sudhir Jena expressed, “We feel extremely privileged to have Timothy Were and Philip Irode, the Deputy Directors from Kenyan Ministry of ICT and ICT Authority, as the Advisory Board Members for CyFrica 2022.

Microsoft, Databricks and 10+ leading giants unleashed their Data Analytics solutions at BYTES 2022

Amidst skyscraping digitization drives in Southeast Asia, its digital economy is projected to hit $1 trillion by 2030. With colossal volumes of data being generated every second, the region is breeding a multi-billion-dollar Big Data Analytics industry.

Taking cue from the above developments, all the while trying to support the Big Data Analytics organizations in the region, Tradepass hosted BYTES for the first time in ASEAN, virtually on 12 – 13 April 2022.

“While explaining the massive growth in data, Karthikeyan Rajasekharan (Senior Director, Data and AI Solution, Sales – APAC, Microsoft APAC) mentioned, “As we went through that journey, we recognized that we needed a modern data estate and we have moved from our value licensing days which had the smallest transaction between $400+ dollars to a place in the cloud where the smallest transaction is anywhere between $3 to $4, which means there has been sheer amount of growth in the data and now we need to think about how we have to modernize ourselves.”

The 2-day virtual summit hosted 1000+ Big Data Analytics professionals from the leading public and private organizations across ASEAN which included the CDOs, CXOs, CIOs, CTOs, CMOs, Heads of IT, Data Scientists and many other senior profiles.

Chris D’Agostino, Global Field CTO, Databricks, spoke in great detail on transforming organizations by enabling data and AI at scale. During his presentation, he expressed, “When we did a survey in partnership with MIT Technology Review, we studied 351 companies around the globe, a third of which were here in APJ, and the number one regret that most data leaders had was that they didn’t standardize using open standards. Instead, they chose proprietary capabilities and felt locked into a particular vendor or solution.”

Microsoft, Databricks, Dataiku, Cloudera, Tech Data, BMC, Aerospike, H2O.ai, Vertica, Domo, Denodo, Snowflake and Fivetran were literally the face of the summit as they had their own exclusive virtual exhibition booth to showcase their cutting-edge solutions. Some of them even gave insightful sessions during the conference on the most pressing topics which included ‘Data Stewardship’, ‘How To Formulate and Implement a Winning AI Strategy’, ‘Hybrid Data Cloud’, “From AI Experimentation to AI Monetization’, ‘Accelerating Data-Driven Outcomes with DataOps & Cloud’ and many more.

While enlightening the delegates on Hybrid Data Cloud, Carlos Zorzin (Senior Partner Sales Engineer, Cloudera) commented, “89% of IT-decision makers believe a hybrid cloud environment is the optimal choice to easily and securely store and move data as well as manage workloads. In order to achieve that, companies need a data platform that lets them easily move data and workloads from private clouds, to public clouds, and even to the edge – with scale. That’s Hybrid Data Cloud.”

When asked about the response from the delegates, Sudhir Jena, the organizer and CEO of Tradepass said, “Bytes 2022 – ASEAN delighted the 1000+ delegates with the top-line of solution providers and experts from the public & private domain and the delegates had very insightful interactions including Q&As with the experts. The delegates also got a chance to explore the latest solutions from the stellar organizations at the summit and collaborate with them to leapfrog their competitors.”

At a time when India is generating colossal volumes of data with its 600 million plus active internet users, Tradepass hosted the country’s first mega scale datacentre & cloud conference, i.e., Datacentre and Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) 2021: India, virtually on 23 – 24 November.

While sharing crucial insights on the future of datacentres in India, Shri Jayesh Ranjan (Principal Secretary, The Industries & Commerce (I&C) & Information Technology (IT) Departments, Government of Telangana) expressed, “Amazon Web Services (AWS), they have created 3 mega datacentres in Telangana which are in their standards the largest ever. They are investing close to 2.7 billion dollars. In fact, this is the biggest FDI Telangana state has received after its formation”.

Uma Chauhan (Senior Director & Scientist G, MeitY, Government of India) gave some noteworthy points on the power capacity of the Indian datacentres, she stated, “As you are all aware, the way data is growing in India, we need more and more datacentres. The present capacity of the datacentres is not sufficient enough for the next five years. So, as per the reports, the data which is available with us, the total present capacity for the datacentres right now is 447 megawatts and it is assumed that the datacentre capacity is going to grow 3 times by the year 2025.”

The conference highlighted the latest developments in the Indian datacentre & cloud industry and stated the recent stance of the government in the development of the sector. By and large, DCCI 2021: India was filled with insightful presentations, knowledge packed fireside chats and panel discussions, that witnessed the participation from some leading thought leaders and the best-in-class experts from the industry.

Now, some firms in the sector expect that the status won’t be awarded in the next 5 years.”

When enquired about the execution of the entire event, organizer and CEO of Tradepass, Sudhir Jena expressed, “Datacentre and Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) 2021: India gave a future road map concerning the nation’s datacentre & cloud industry.

India Gears Up for its Biggest Datacentre and Cloud Spectacle Ever

Amidst unprecedented internet penetration that accounts for over 600 million active users in the country, India is more poised than ever to skyrocket its growth in the Datacentre & Cloud market. It’s already estimated that the Indian datacentre industry will cross $8 billion by 2026 (Arizton Advisory & Intelligence) along with its cloud computing market to reach a staggering $7.1 billion by 2022 (Nasscom).

Taking heed from these massive paradigm shifts and post-receiving phenomenal success in ASEAN, Tradepass has announced its Indian edition of Datacentre & Cloud Conference i.e., Datacentre and Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) 2021: India (https://india.dccisummit.com), scheduled to take place virtually, on 23 – 24 November.

The conference is aimed towards addressing every colossal development that has happened in the sector, where India has already surpassed the primary markets of Europe and the US in power consumption that accounts for 102 MW.

Following his participation announcement, when asked about the growing impact of the datacentre & cloud industry, Golok Kumar Simli (Chief of Technology – Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India) stated “Hyper Scale Data Center, Cloud Economic Zone and Data Economic Zone would be the driving factors towards emerging global economic order”.

Organizer and CEO of Tradepass, Sudhir Jena expressed, “Amidst larger-than-life technological disruptions aimed towards enabling a Digital India, events like 5G rollouts, rapid adoption of cloud technologies like SaaS, IaaS or PaaS by millions of Indian SMEs, the increasing popularity of the OTT apps, the reliance of the masses on all kinds of lifestyle-oriented apps, etc. have turned every eyeball towards the country’s Datacentre & Cloud market.”

He further added that, “Datacentre and Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) 2021: India, will not only facilitate collaboration between the biggest stakeholders and the leading tech providers from the industry but will also address the existential trends and the most-pressing roadblocks.”

The conference will also host over 1000 tech professionals from 300+ plus leading organizations including the senior most C-suite executives and the key decision makers to share crucial insights and the latest intelligence from the industry.

Some of the speakers from the summit include Golok Kumar Simli, Chief of Technology, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India; CK Prasad, Head – Telecom & IT, Railways; Laxmikumar Reddy Sammeta, VP – Architect, JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Ananth Subramanian, Executive Vice President and Head IT, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Co Ltd; Shiva Kumar RV, Deputy Chief of Technology – Infrastructure, National Payments Corporation of India; Rachit Mohan, India Head – Data Centre Advisory, JLL; Deepak Bhosale, General Manager – IT, Asian Paints and many others.

The Indian government on the other hand has gone all out in ensuring the industry’s exponential growth with its data sovereignty laws that mandate all domestic and international companies to store certain data types within the country’s geographical limits. Moreover, the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology’s policy of providing ‘Infrastructure status’ to the Datacentre sector (just like Railways, Roadways, and Power) has sealed the deal for many keen investors from the country and overseas.

Some of the key topics from the summit include ‘Data Sovereignty in the age of Cloud computing’, ‘How Datacentre Automation is powering profits’, ‘Role of Hyperscale Datacentres in IT operations’, ‘Cloud Security’ and many others.

It aims to cover some of the most pressing cybersecurity topics like: ‘Adopting a Zero-Trust security model: Unleashing the full potential’, ‘Managing cyber risks in the era of remote working’, ‘AI in Cybersecurity — Best used as a SWORD or SHIELD’, ‘Addressing the economy’s backbone: Cybersecurity for SMEs’ and many others.

“Security needs to shift to developer-first, where it is built into the development process early rather than waiting to pass over to a separate security team when development is done. If companies want to build a secure product, it needs to be addressed as it is developed, not seen as an afterthought. Getting developers to embrace security, and build it into the fabric of software development is key to ensuring that security can keep up with the pace of modern development, and a fundamental requirement for securing our digital lives,” expressed Mr. Shaun McLagan, (Vice President, APJ, Snyk).

At a time when the ASEAN Digital Master Plan 2025 is picking up pace, it only becomes too crucial for Indonesia to strengthen its cybersecurity as it will only enhance its digital transformation and make it all the more vigilant towards detecting cyber-threats.

Mr. Gary C Tate (VP – Asia Pacific & Japan, Cyware) while expressing his views about the summit mentioned, “We are excited to participate with our peers and learn more about how they are going to proactively handle emerging threats, see how cyber fusion and building a collective defense may be a fit for their needs, and of course, share some of our recent research.”

Organizer and CEO of Tradepass, Sudhir Jena expressed, “While we are always striving to keep our best foot forward to address the existential issues in the cybersecurity industry, Indosec 2021 will be the most crucial to say the least as it will acknowledge the latest developments from the industry while also enhancing collaboration between the cybersecurity experts and the solution-seeking organizations.”

Some of the confirmed sponsors include: Checkmarx, S3, Cyware, ACE Pacific Group, Snyk, Tenable, YesWeHack, ManageEngine, SailPoint, BeyondTrust, Magnet Forensics, BlackBerry, Callsign, CrowdStrike, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., Acronis, LogRhythm, Dell Technologies, ForgeRock and Thales.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, Equinix, Oracle, Digital Realty and Cohesity to lead Datacentre and Cloud Summit 2021

With Southeast Asia becoming the global hotbed for Datacentres and Cloud Infrastructure, along with the region witnessing the emergence of the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025, over 1000 datacentre and cloud professionals from 200+ leading public and private enterprises across the ASEAN region will join the virtual edition of Datacentre and Cloud Summit (DCCI) 2021: ASEAN, organized by Tradepass on 28-29 September, 2021.

In an interview leading up to the summit, Jeremy Deutsch, President of Asia-Pacific, Equinix said, “With ASEAN leading the charge in data center and digital infrastructure growth, the virtual DCCI Summit ASEAN 2021 is the perfect platform for professionals and enterprises to connect and get updated on the latest trends and development in the data center and cloud segments.”

“Equinix is excited to be a part of this inaugural edition and we look forward to conversations with leaders and organizations, including how to support them in building a digital infrastructure that will accelerate their digital transformation and business growth,” he added.

Following the participation announcement, Sheena Chin, Managing Director of Cohesity ASEAN, Cohesity said, “Many organizations attempt to manage data through legacy products. However, legacy infrastructure is incredibly complex to manage and was not designed for the needs of modern businesses. What organizations need is a next-gen approach to data management that brings data workloads together on one platform spanning clouds, data centers, and the edge, managed through a single user interface – that’s what Cohesity provides.”

The distinguished speakers for the event will share key industry intelligence that will be highlighted by the many insightful presentations and ultra-rich panel discussions. In that light, DCCI 2021: ASEAN will cover the most pressing topics like:

– The Future of Data Centers: Delivering IT Infrastructure for the Digital Age in ASEAN
– Green Data Centers: Key to the Digital Economy Boom
– Cloud Security: Keeping IT Environments SECURE
– Edge computing: Changing the Future of Data Centers
– Importance of Data Center Architecture and Disaster Recovery

Recognizing the fastest-growing digital economy, Clement Goh, CEO, Southeast Asia, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres commented, “The ASEAN market is expected to be a bright spot for data centre growth with the confluence of increased digital connectivity led by the pandemic, growth of consumer digital adoption and Industry 4.0 that contributed to the significant industry growth. We look forward to participating at DCCI to share our insights on this populous region and how we can build better and smarter data centres to enable our digital future sustainably.”

Mark Smith, Managing Director – Asia Pacific, Digital Realty expressed his views about the summit, “Asia Pacific has been witnessing an explosive growth in data, driven by accelerated technological change with the emergence of AI, 5G, blockchain and IoT. Based on our Data Gravity Index DGx, APAC is expected to generate the fastest growth across all regions in terms of data gravity in the coming years. Key markets such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea are poised for an accelerated growth, resulting in even more demand for data center solutions.”

“At Digital Realty, we aim to balance growth with sustainability by building efficient and sustainable data centers in the APAC region and across the globe. We continue to extend coverage, capacity and connectivity options for enterprises to pursue their digital ambitions on PlatformDIGITAL, our global data center platform with over 4,000 participants in 47 metros across 24 countries,” he added.

Organiser and the CEO of Tradepass, Sudhir Jena expressed that “While we are always striving to keep our best foot forward to simplify the trending disruptions prevailing in the tech industry, DCCI 2021: ASEAN will be the most crucial to say the least as it deeply acknowledges the multi-billion-dollar Datacentre market along with the rapid mobilization of Cloud Infrastructure in Southeast Asia.”
