Concentration risk is a banking term describing the level of risk in a bank's portfolio arising from concentration to a single counterparty, sector or country. The risk arises from the observation that more concentrated portfolios are less diverse & therefore the returns on the underlying assets are more correlated. Concentration risks are based on the sources of the risk. Concentration risk can arise from different aspects in cloud computing adoption. The panel discussion on “Concentration Risks in Cloud Computing - What You Should Know” will be moderated by Dr. Hing-Yan LEE (EVP for Government Affairs, CSA) following the presentation by Dr. KANG Meng-Chow (Adjunct Associate Professor, Nanyang Technological University); he will be joined by Murari KALYANARAMANI (CISO, UOB Group), Dr. KANG Meng-Chow, Jenny TAN (President, ISACA, Singapore Chapter), & Riwzi WUN (Partner, RHTLaw Asia LLP).

CSA recently published its annual report on cloud security top threats for 2022, entitled “Top Threats to Cloud Computing—Pandemic Eleven.” The CSA Top Threats Working Group surveyed over 700 professionals on security issues in the cloud industry to create the report. Importantly, the survey shows broad recognition that the cloud customer is increasingly responsible for security rather than the cloud service provider (CSP). In the “shared responsibility” model, the CSP is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, & the customer is responsible for the security of everything they put in the cloud, such as their data, workloads, & applications. Victor CHIN (Member of the Working Group) will present on the report findings.

The invited keynote on “The Government’s Risk-Based Approach to Mitigate the Risks of Using the Cloud” will be given by CHAI Chin Loon (Senior Director, Cyber Security Group Government CISO, Government Technology Agency of Singapore). The shift to Cloud has gained much traction over the years as many organisations have begun their migration to the Cloud, with some doing so at a rapid pace. As we rely more on cloud-technology, it is important to take a proactive stance in mitigating the cybersecurity risks to safeguard assets & continue to deliver business outcomes reliably. Similarly, the Singapore Government has embarked on the cloud adoption journey. Our priority is to ensure that our Government systems & services in the Cloud continue to deliver secure & reliable services to our citizens & always protect their personal data. This session will discuss how the Government has taken a risk-based approach to secure our Cloud services.

The talk entitled “Virtual Testbed for Smart Grid Cybersecurity Experiments & Training” will be presented by Dr. Daisuke MASHIMA (Principal Research Scientist, Illinois at Singapore Pte Ltd). Fighting against cyberattacks is at the forefront of many research expeditions, especially regarding critical infrastructures such as power grids. However, a universal issue is not having a way to experiment with attacks in a hands-on way in a realistic environment. To address this challenge, a virtual testbed, also called a cyber range, has been attracting attention. In this talk, we first discuss recent outcomes in the smart grid domain. We then introduce our ongoing R&D effort to develop a turn-key, cloud-based framework for automated generation & provisioning of a smart grid cyber range according to user-defined models.
