May 2023 - Achievements & Contributions
A month of technical workshops and certification achievements, with alumni leading knowledge sharing sessions and earning advanced cybersecurity credentials.
SANS Community Night
Our members gathered on the 29th of May to discuss the next plan for MCC2023 before we can switch our gear to level 3. On the same date, we together with three MCC2022 alumni Kelvin, Yen Wai, and Fatah attended the SANS Community Nights at Parkroyal Collection Kuala Lumpur. Mr Jason Lam shared about "3 Crucial Cloud Security Changes to Hackproof your Cloud". On top of the valuable sharing session by Mr Jason, we met with a few cybersecurity professionals. We gain some interesting advice from them that night. Other interesting stuff shared by the alumni was about their in-progress FYP projects and also Fatah, who will fly to Korea to attend Typhooncon, a cybersecurity conference focusing on offensive security.
On the 20th of May, some of the MCC2022 alumni participated Asia Pacific Cyberattack Response Challenge 2023 organised by Cyber8lab. It was an online CTF challenge that ran concurrently with Asia Pacific Cybersecurity Conference 2023 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. 18 teams competed with each other originating from countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. Team Cincai managed to grab 2nd place and the other two teams represented by MCC2022 alumni (Team L0stPaR4d0x and skyjuice), secured the 5th and the 9th place!
Fatah was invited by The National Defence University of Malaysia
Fatah was invited to be an instructor in RTO - The Art of Hacking, Attacks & Techniques on 7th May 2023 at The National Defence University of Malaysia (Military Institution). In the boot camp, they learn how to conduct cyberattack tests in the company with a professional approach so that vulnerabilities can be detected and eliminated. The lecture aims to improve Rules of Engagement (ROE), Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), People, Process, and Technology (PPT).
MCC Hari Raya Gathering at The Caravan Cafe
On the 6th of May 2023, MCC organised a Hari Raya gathering with alumni. The gathering was held at The Caravan Cafe Bukit Mahkota. There was a wide selection of delicious food, drinks, and desserts served. Additionally, we were excited to be joined by respected professionals such as Mr Azli (Velum Labs), Mr Kimi (Nexagate), Mr Fadzril (Syntx), Mr Shahriman (Deloitte), Mr Syahmi (Bluesify), Mr Ali (BAE Systems) and Mr Max (Maybank). All of us really benefited from their attendance and impromptu career-sharing sessions.
