    WITH digitalisation becoming increasingly ubiquitous, cybersecurity has also grown in prominence. Since the launch of the Smart Nation initiative in 2014, Singapore has been actively developing its cybersecurity strategy.

    Just in September, in the latest move to bolster the industry, Singapore announced the new Cybersecurity Talent, Innovation and Growth (Cyber TIG) Plan, a comprehensive approach to ecosystem development that consolidates and enhances existing talent and innovation initiatives for the sector.

    As part of that, a new CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre will be established at the National University of Singapore to serve as a national node to integrate and create relevant programmes for industry and talent development.
