PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
A Great End to 2021
BACK TO NORM AND RECOVERY
Dear ISACA MY Chapter Members,
Here we are, at the beginning of 2022. It has been indeed
another interesting year for our chapter in 2021. Even
though every chapter from Chicago to Mozambique to
Melbourne chapter would have a unique experience this
year, I am pretty sure all of these chapters would have
experienced some achievements and losses. As things start
to slow down, and we gather to celebrate the year-end
holidays, we are given a lot of time to reflect on what have
happened in the past year.
As for me, I took the time to reflect on a few important
lessons. If 2020 was a year of surprises and survival, 2021
has mostly been a year of finding back our pace and
recovery. Stopping short of labelling it as eventful, it has no
doubt been especially livelier towards the last quarter for us
the Malaysia chapter, with the latest SOP from MKN being a
blessing that enable us to revert to some normalcy.
However, just as we hoped to celebrate that normalcy, life
as always being unpredictable decided to strike with the
recent flooding disasters that hit multiple states including
the Klang Valley. I could only hope that this unfortunate
event to be a somewhat a blessing in disguise and those
affected by it to pick up back and ride on. As Aristotle puts it
–“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to
see the light.”
Prior to this month however, some of the key satisfactions
for me have been the enabling of remote knowledge sharing
sessions via the webinars when we are able to cater to our
members from outside of not just Klang Valley but Malaysia
too. The chapter is also excited with the new addition of a
new ISACA Student Group (ISG) from TARUC. There is
certainly a growing interest shown towards the new
stackable certificates introduced by ISACA and the chapter is
excited to see and help young and aspiring professionals
build their exciting new careers in technology. These
moments to me of being able to grow our reach to new
members and audience are all the more satisfying indeed.

Back in end October 2021, we were able to successfully
organize a virtual special chapter meeting followed by
our first virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM). With
that, I am privileged to be given the chance to continue
serving for another term with the new board of
directors. Aside from being grateful to the previous
term’s board of directors that have graciously
contributed their time and energy, I am hopeful as well
with the new bloods on this new board for the term
2021-2022 to contribute new value adds and ideas
towards growing our lovely local community and
enriching all of us in preparing for the new threats and
risks. The new board is also lucky to continue to have a
healthy diversity and inclusion representation which we
would look forward to more OneInTech (OIT)
collaborations and opportunities.
Throughout 2021, there has been less physical member
events that were organized due to the strict SOPs
imposed throughout locally. We were fortunate to be
able to push through with our virtual CommunITy Day in
October and a virtual celebration for our chapter’s top
examination scorers for 2020/2021. We were also busy
on the knowledge sharing sessions end, with numerous
webinars, certification bootcamps and training
workshops.
In 2022, the board have put together a chapter events
calendar for the first half of 2022 that would cover
events both physical and virtual to suit the potential
endemic path to recovery. While there are a lot of
people who cleared their annual leaves to travel back to
their hometowns to visit families or for a getaway
holiday after what seems like a long while, I am hoping
that the first movie night - “Spiderman: No Way Home”
in two years that we had in December 2021 would be
the first of many more to come in the next few months.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

In the coming months, you can also look forward to
a virtual webinar series along with a training
workshop on fortifying your organization via I&T
controls. Hence, you would want to check out the
events calendar within this issue to find out more
on the other upcoming talks and workshops we
have in store for you.
As a closing note, as we embark on a new chapter term with
a new Engage portal and learning opportunities made
available via the ISACA community, the journey has started
with the new board recently having completed our strategic
planning meeting for 2022. The board will work hard in
creating more learning opportunities, sharing more content
about new technologies and challenges.

would strongly encourage those of you that are
experiencing such difficulties on the new Engage
portal to reach out to the chapter’s secretariat for
the chapter to collate and feedback to the ISACA
Global team.

As for the knowledge development side of things,

there have been numerous certifications and
certificates that ISACA has successfully rolled out
this year and that includes CDPSE, CCAK, ITCA, CET,
IT Risk Fundamentals, and numerous Cybersecurity
Nexus ones too.

I am also excited and look forward to more global

2021 EVENTS & HIGHLIGHTS - NOVEMBER
Our 1st ISACA Global Member Only Event
COMPLIMENTING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING & CERTIFICATION EXPERIENCE
30 NOVEMBER 2021
Tuesday, 30th November
Webinar via Zoom – 1 CPE Hour
It was an interactive member-only experience on the
new signals and cues of leading and communicating,
no matter the distance.
We learned about
• Collaboration style and the digital body language
signals we may be broadcasting (even if we don't
intend to!)
• How to create cultures of maniacal clarity across
email, phone, IM, text, video, and hybrid meetings
• How to develop a collaboration strategy that
fosters valuable relationships, both in-person and
online
• How to end cultures of useless meetings, missed
deadlines, and digital misunderstandings
As ISACA looks to add greater value to Membership,
there will be pilots of several global events types to
determine how we might add more Members-only
exclusivity to ISACA Membership benefits.
So, STAY TUNED for more in 2022!
DID YOU KNOW?
Global member-only virtual events are
designed to meet the needs of ISACA
members stated in the 2021 ISACA
Membership Study.
When asked the question, “what is one
thing that ISACA could do to improve your
membership experience?” ISACA members
top response is “Continue to provide
more CPE opportunities through online
webinars.”
When asked the question, “what product or
service would you like to see ISACA create
or improve upon within the next 12 months”
ISACA members top response is “Even
more on-demand training resources that
are free and CPE eligible.”
When viewing the gap between perceived
value and satisfaction with ISACA’s
offerings, two of the top three show that
ISACA needs to provide more CPE
offerings and ISACA needs to improve
support of members in their career
advancement.
Nearly 4 in 10 members report an increase
in participation of virtual events.

ARTICLE by INFOBLOX
How COVID Brought Profound Change to
Cybersecurity
BY INFLOBLOX
Three trends are fundamentally reshaping
the IT security landscape:
1) Digital transformation and the move
to hybrid cloud,
2) The Internet of Things (IoT), and
3) The COVID-19 pandemic, which
sparked the work-from-home
revolution.
It’s certainly the case that these are three
distinct movements, but they’re very much
intertwined in how they’re affecting the work ·
done by cyber security teams. In fact, for many
organizations the pandemic has accelerated
workplace modernizations, including adoption of
the cloud and SaaS, to create a hybrid
workplace—one that provides flexibility without ·
compromising business goals. Consider some
metrics and trendlines:
· By 2023, global spending on services and
technologies enabling digital
transformation is estimated to amount to
$2.3 trillion (IDC, 2020).
· Worldwide end-user spending on public
cloud services is forecast to grow 23.1% in
2021 to total $332.3 billion, up from $270
billion in 2020 (Gartner).
· The global digital transformation spending
in logistics is estimated to amount to $84.6
billion by 2027 because of the COVID-19
pandemic (ReportLinker, 2020).
· 60% of enterprise executives feel that IoT
will play an important role in their
companies’ digital business strategies (IDG).
· 97% of global IT directors said their
companies went through digital
transformation due to Covid-19 with 3 out of
5 stating they saw a “large amount of
change” (Software AG).
IT leaders spent an additional $15 billion a
week during the first 3 months of the
pandemic to support cybersecurity and
remote work needs (Harvey Nash/KPMG).
(89% of companies say the pandemic has
shown a need for more agile and scalable IT
to allow for contingencies (Dell
Technologies).
· 71% of IT professionals have seen an
increase in security threats or attacks since
the start of Covid-19 with phishing cited as
the leading threat (Check Point)
· Since the start of Covid-19, 85% of
executives said their businesses have
somewhat or greatly accelerated the
implementation of technologies that
digitally enable employee interaction and
collaboration—in a matter of weeks vs.
months or even years (McKinsey).
16
ARTICLE by INFOBLOX
Locally in Malaysia, the numbers might not be
quite as stark, with only 46% of firms actively
engaged on a digital transformation journey in
2020. Yet an additional 34% of Malaysian firms
reported that they planned to start digital
transformation projects in 2021. The global
picture, however, is quite clear:
Fully two years into the pandemic, changes to
the cyber security landscape have been
profound, driving demand for technologies and
new approaches optimized for this new
environment.
According to Gartner, over 45 percent of IT
spending would have shifted to the cloud by
2024 (up from 33 percent in 2020), with
projected revenue for SaaS offerings estimated
to rise to around $370 billion over the same
timeframe.
Broader use of cloud and SaaS applications is
driving greater investment in technologies that
improve productivity, data security and
continuous business operations. Networks are
shifting from a traditional architecture focused
on headquarters and the data center to a
distributed, edge-to-cloud architecture. To
support the hybrid workplace, organizations
need to be able to easily secure networks and
unify management across cloud, HQ and branch
locations.
To keep pace, stay competitive and anticipate
the locally and globally changing business and
technology landscape, companies need data
visibility and analytics to provide operational,
triage, forensic and predictive insights for
business and process optimization. Deploying
sophisticated cyber security tools and
solutions to protect customers, users, data
and infrastructure is essential, but it’s not
enough. Companies need to modernize
networks to enable the distributed workplace,
support geo-diverse branch offices and ensure
agility, automation and high performance at
scale from the data center to the network
edge.
Adopting modern technologies—including
virtualization, private cloud, public cloud, SaaS
and IPv6—can help reach these goals.
Fortunately, emerging technology solutions in
the areas of DNS, DHCP and IPAM (collectively
known as DDI) makes it easier for
organizations to serve their customers,
support distributed workers and achieve
company objectives around digital
transformation.
