    BANKS and e-commerce app Shopee said that they welcome the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore’s (CSA) safe app standard, which was published on Wednesday (Jan 10).

    OCBC group head of information security and digital risk management Thomas Kok emphasised the importance of having safe and reliable digital products, including apps.

    “Having a common benchmark and sharing of best practices to achieve this desired outcome, via CSA’s safe app standard, is a positive move and will serve to enhance digital trust with the public,” he said.
