Hey AWS Community,

A new year is here, and so is our first meetup of 2026. Expect new speakers, practical security insights, and plenty of energy at the AWS Singapore office.

This meetup brings together both security and cloud practitioners. Security is broad. Cloud moves fast. Let us meet in the middle, share what works, what breaks, and how we can build safer and faster on AWS.
Whether you work in development, operations, architecture, or security, you will walk away with ideas you can apply the next day.

πŸ“… Date: Thursday, 15th January 2026
πŸ•‘ Time: 6.30pm – 9.00pm
πŸ“ Location: AWS Singapore; 2 Central Blvd, IOI Central Boulevard East Towers, Level 5

🎀 Speakers
βœ… Building and Securing Systems at Scale - Lessons from Cybersecurity Practice
πŸ“Œ Gaurav Keerthi – CEO, StrongKeep
Gaurav will share lessons from building and securing systems at scale, drawing from his experience across national digital infrastructure and his current work in cybersecurity. He will reflect on real world security challenges, how cloud has shaped security decisions, and what practitioners should focus on as systems grow in complexity.

βœ… AI Security Operations: AWS Frontier Agents + Custom Agent Development with Bedrock AgentCore and Kiro
πŸ“Œ Loi Liang Yang – Principal Security Specialist Technical Account Manager, Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Loi explores how teams can deploy enterprise AI security using two complementary approaches on AWS. He will show how ready to use AWS AI Investigative, DevOps, and Security Agents can be enabled quickly for autonomous threat detection, while custom agents built with Bedrock AgentCore and Kiro handle unique security needs. You will see how combining managed and custom agents enables scalable, practical AI powered security operations that actually work in real environments.

βœ… Accidentally Exposed MCP Servers: Lessons From a Real Incident
πŸ“Œ Mayank Nauni – Cybersecurity Researcher

Mayank shares findings from a real investigation into Model Context Protocol servers unintentionally exposed to the public internet. He will explain how these exposures happen, what internal context can leak, and why this matters even outside traditional OT environments. The session concludes with practical steps to secure MCP on AWS, including private VPC deployments, identity controls, and continuous posture checks.
