On the 8th of June, NUS IT was invited to participate in the Cybersecurity Innovation, Trends & Insights Symposium 2021, jointly organised by CSA Singapore, NUS Enterprise and TNB Ventures.

Ms Tan Shui-Min, our Chief IT Officer, was the opening keynote speaker for the symposium. She shared insights on how technology can be dualistic in mitigating risks and yet be a source for vulnerability exploits, particularly during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

NUSITโ€™s very own Head of IT Security, Mr Ang Leong Boon, was also invited to be a moderator and facilitator of a discussion and networking session, the highlights of which he shared with fellow IT experts and professionals.

Congratulations to Ms Tan Shui-Min and Mr Ang Leong Boon for your enriching presentations that brought valuable insights to the symposium! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

We are extremely glad to have been mentioned in Nikkei Asiaโ€™s recent interview with NUS President Tan Eng Chye regarding NUSโ€™ initiatives to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.

uNivUS, the application developed by NUS IT which allows for a host of features such as temperature and travel declaration and NUSafe, was commended by Nikkei Asia as one of the innovative tech measures used by NUS in the fight against the pandemic.

Our very own Chief IT Officer, Tan Shui-Min, drove the NUS-SMU collaborative effort with the industry to spearhead the use of Wi-Fi information for Contact Tracing on campus as underscored in the article.

Thank you to Nikkei Asia and our teams who worked expediently to develop these solutions!

NUS IT wishes all our Muslim friends a blessed Eid al-Adha! May you and your family be blessed with peace and harmony. Wishing all a joyous holiday!
On the 22nd of July, Mr Rikky Purbojati, who heads Research Computing at NUS IT, was invited to participate in GovInsiderโ€™s webinar titled โ€œSupercharging e-government with the cloudโ€ (held in partnership with SailPoint and Accenture). โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ’ก

Alongside other panellists and speakers, Rikky shared insights on data management by governments and public institutions using the cloud. He highlighted how a holistic data framework is required as a tool in the optimisation of digital government services. Also, he raised a valuable point about the many applications that are often used in silo, which may complicate the end user experience โ€“ particularly for those who are not as data-literate.

Congratulations to Rikky and the other amazing panellists for their enriching sharing! Thank you Govinsider! ๐Ÿ‘
