AS cyberattacks get more sophisticated and widespread, Singapore on Monday unveiled a comprehensive draft Cybersecurity Bill which seeks to protect Singapore's critical information infrastructure (CII), give more powers to the Cyber Security Agency (CSA), ensure proper information sharing during attacks, and introduce a licencing provision to regulate and ensure quality cybersecurity services are available here.
The draft bill was released on Monday for public consultations and this process will continue until Aug 3. After changes, if any, it is likely to be tabled in Parliament for first reading by the end of this year. Work on the legislation started in late-2015.
