Across my career in the infosec and cybersecurity industry, I have been a witness to and part of its dynamic and fast-changing landscape within a now established digital world. This same evolution is reflected in my professional journey, with security playing an ever more crucial role in ensuring business success. As a senior leader, I contribute to decision-making, helping ensure that our security capabilities are integrated into the backbone that supports business operations, strategic business innovations and technology ambitions. Although I work in a highly technical field, at the core of my success is an unwavering focus on the people part of the security equation. I developed expertise in simultaneously responding to both high-level corporate goals and everyday end-user realities with security policies, practices and tools. With smooth integration into business activities, I ensure buy-in and engagement across all organisational levels. ▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹ Career Highlights ✔ Security Design & Engineering ▹ Built up security analytics capabilities and integrated threat intelligence into the security monitoring cycle. ▹ Introduced ML and AI for user and entity behavioural analysis as well as network traffic analysis, which enhanced information and cybersecurity capabilities. ✔ Threat and Incident Management ▹ Pioneered SGX’s Security Operations Centre and developed a world-class security monitoring program. ▹ Re-engineered security by extending edge to the cloud with cloud-based web application firewalls and introducing dedicated DDoS scrubbing providers as new capabilities for threat detection and management. ✔ Business Innovations ▹ Utilised a distributed ledger technology in smart contracts as security design for the first-ever digital bond issuance on SGX’s digital asset issuance, depository and servicing platform in 2020. ▹ Played key role in the launch of FAST transfer, the current real-time funds transfer used in online banking, leading the security architecture track for 3-generation payment systems between banks. ▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹▹ Areas of Expertise ▹ Information Security ▹ Cybersecurity ▹ Enterprise Risk Assessment & Management ▹ Regulatory & Legal Compliance ▹ Security Infrastructure Tuning ▹ Security Assessment Framework ▹ Vulnerability Assessment ▹ Penetration Testing ▹ Mitigation Strategies ▹ Incident Recovery & Response ▹ Vulnerability Management ▹ Identity & Access Management ▹ Cyber Threat Intelligence ▹ Network Security ▹ Endpoint Security ▹ Automation
