Topic: From hackers to cyber defenders
Hosted by the AISA Darwin Branch, please join Samuel Ng, who is the Director, Cyber Security and Analytics at the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) for an online presentation discussing the value of including an ethical hacker within your cyber team to manage your organisation’s risk appetite.

Any businesses, irrespective of its size/turnover are heavily dependent on the internet nowadays especially during the COVID-19 period. However, the use of technology not only helps in growth but also brings along the risk of a cyber attack. This consistent rise in cyber threats has increased the demand for information security and ethical hackers.

No matter what organisations are you in, from Banking, Government, Military, to a start-up company in Fintech or cryptocurrencies, ever wonder about the need of an ethical hacker to be a part of cyber team in your organisation? 

This session will act as an eye-opener, giving you perspectives from attackers themselves, in order to add value to your cyber defenders and security engineers to immediately act upon the cyber safety of your organisation for you to manage your organisation’s risk appetite.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. This webinar will be recorded and the recording will be made available to registrants.
