1. Navigating Security in the World of Emerging TechnologiesBy
Assoc. Prof Dr. Omar Zakaria
Vice President
Information Security Professional of Malaysia (ISPA.my)

2. Agenda
Introduction
Establishing the Status Quo of The Region’s Security Progression
The Dynamic Business Environment of Virtual and Mobility
Emerging Technologies vs. New Threats
Question & Answer

3. Introduction Emerging Technologies in many domains: Agriculture
Biomedical
Displays
Electronics
Energy

4. InTRODUCTION (CONT..) IT and Communications
(4G, AI, Pervasive Computing, Cloud etc.)
Manufacturing
Materials Science
Robotics
Transport

5. Introduction (cont..) How these technologies affect security?
Ethical issue
(i.e. act as Robin Hood?)
Way to do things
(i.e. physically vs. mobile/remote)
New facilities offer new opportunities
(i.e. location tracer)

6. Introduction (cont..) How these technologies affect security?
More ways to exploit vulnerabilities
(i.e. built-in tools, GUI hackers’ tools)
New threats
(i.e. viruses on smartphone)
More countermeasures
(i.e. anti-viruses software on smartphone)

7. Introduction (cont..)
It is a need to navigate security in these emerging technologies:
Establishing status quo
Sustaining in dynamic environment (virtual and mobility)
Emerging technologies vs. threats landscape

8. Establishing status quo
Staff as security partner
Obtaining ISO ISMS 27001:2005
Enforcement on privacy protection
Perform penetration testing/ vulnerability test/PSA
Treat information security as “all are responsible” rather than “they are responsible”

9. Establishing status quo (CONT..)
Practising multi-authentication
Accountability aspects
Registered users for gaining access to free WiFi
Secure programming approach

10. ESTABLISHING STATUS QUO (Cont..)
Guidelines on networking scanning
Data security agreement in cloud
Trust level (i.e. trusted third parties)

11. Sustaining in Dynamic Environment
Issues that need to be considered:
Consumerisation (i.e. disclosure of consumer’s location)
BYOD authentication
Mobile-phone anti-virus scanning
Pervasive computing
Virtual reality

12. Emerging Technologies vs. Threats Landscape
Smartphone/ Mobile threats
Embedded hardware
Virtual currency
Advances in OS
Blinking online traffic lights

13. Emerging Technologies vs. Threats Landscape (CONT..)
Rogue certificates
Cyberwar showoffs
Hactivism
Legalised spam
Industrial attacks (blackmail or extortion)

14. conclusion Provide alternative ways to do things
Enforce new countermeasure on new threat
Emerging technologies also change threat landscape
Security is a hardening process and not 100% a secure process
