This talk is to present a draft playbook for those newly appointed into a security leadership role. It will cover a list of topics, that will hopefully be helpful for newly appointed security leaders. This presentation is based on Kiw’s learning from his role as a newly appointed head of security for Spark NZ.

Speaker: Nyuk Loong Kiw is currently Spark’s Head of Security, with close to 19 years experience in a technologically diverse, telco-centric environment. Kiw’s key areas of expertise are network security and incident response, with extensive experience across a variety of security domains. Kiw has 10+ years of team and technical leadership experience, and he is pragmatic, hands-on, and has a good sense of humor. He moved into a Security leadership role in early 2015.

 

Kiw’s extensive experience includes:

  • Building a Security Operations Centre (SOC) from a single resource to the largest (45+ to date) and most mature SOC in New Zealand;
  • Leading in defining security roadmap and strategies, both for Spark Group, subsidiaries as well as many Spark Managed security services customers;
  • Leading and responding to many nationwide critical severity security incidents.

Kiw has a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Auckland University and is also certified in many industry-recognised security certifications (e.g. CISSP, GCFW, CEH, CCSE etc). He is committed to providing secure outcomes for both customers as well as Spark.
