Chief Executive of CSA, Mr David Koh, was Guest-of-Honour at the CREST Singapore Industry Event held on 28 July 2016 at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). About 300 industry partners, cyber security professionals and representatives from the Institutes of Higher Learning and government agencies attended the event to find out more about the CREST Singapore Chapter and its services. The event also marked the opening of the CREST-accredited Examination Facility at SIT.
The CREST Singapore Chapter was formed by CREST in partnership with CSA and Association of Information Security Professionals (AISP) to introduce CREST penetration testing certifications and accreditations to Singapore. This initiative was developed in collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA). The Singapore Chapter is the first CREST Chapter in Asia. Plans are afoot to introduce more CREST certifications and accreditations in areas including Incident Response, Malware Analysis and wider Information Security Architecture in the future.
