AWS Security User Group Singapore: November Edition!

Hey AWS Security fam 👋

November is here, and so is our next meetup. Expect new speakers, real-world security stories, and plenty of energy at the AWS Singapore office.

Our goal this year: bring security and cloud practitioners together.
Security is wide; cloud teams move fast. Let’s meet in the middle — share what’s working, what’s painful, and how we can ship safer, faster.

Want to speak next time?
We are lining up lightning talks and deep dives for upcoming meetups — 30-minute sessions, interactive by design. New voices welcome: operators, builders, blue/red/purple teamers, platform folks.
If you have shipped it, broken it, or fixed it, we want to hear it. (Ping the organizers / DM us after you RSVP.)

🎤 Speakers

✅ Lessons from Protecting a Major Conference: What You Do Not Know Will Haunt You

📌 Speaker: Wong Onn Chee – CEO, Rajah & Tann Cybersecurity | OWASP SG Chapter Lead

What happens when thousands gather and attackers watch? Onn Chee shares real lessons from securing major conferences, revealing blind spots, human factors, and surprises that even experienced teams may overlook. A rare glimpse into the unseen world of large-scale event defence.

✅ From Permanent Access To Just-in-Time: A Startup's IAM Journey

📌 Speaker: Caesar Chan – Senior Information Security Manager, FinTech

Startups move fast, but access should not stay forever. Caesar walks through a FinTech's journey from always-on permissions to a just in time IAM model, showing how automation and culture evolve together to strengthen security without slowing innovation.

✅ To Be Announced
Stay tuned for the announcement!
