Happy New Year! During the Christmas break we moved to our new office. We are still in the same building, 187 Featherston Street, but are now located on the 4th floor.
For those folks heading up to Microsoft’s Ignite session in Auckland from the 25th October, check out Chris’ session on Thursday 27th – “A practical approach to security in the cloud”.
As a teaser this is the abstract for the session: “Is your organisation or the one that you look after looking to take advantage of the benefits that cloud computing offers? Are you unsure how to address security in the cloud? Are you overwhelmed by the volume of contradictory advice and guidance? Do you need a practical approach to managing security risks when migrating to the cloud? If you answered “YES!” to any or all of these, then this is the session for you! You’ll leave this presentation with some real-world practical techniques for clearing both real and perceived security roadblocks to moving your organisation to the cloud.”
Enjoy!
Chris will be presenting two sessions at COSAC 2016 held in Ireland between the 2 – 6 October 2016. The following provides a synopsis of his sessions, visit the COSAC website here for more information and the full conference schedule.
It is too late to start figuring out what to do when a cyber security incident occurs. If your organisation has not thought about how to identify a significant incident, who needs to be involved and what steps it needs to take to resolve the incident then it is likely to struggle to bring the incident to a timely resolution.
