As cyber threats rise, more SMEs going all out to protect their operations and clients

AMID increasing digitalisation, so too is the importance of having strong cybersecurity practices for businesses big or small.

With the help of the Cyber Essentials mark, a certification programme launched by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) in March this year, more companies here have developed a greater awareness of the need for cybersecurity, and have started to implement better and more stringent measures to protect themselves as well as their clients. 

Targeted specifically at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the Cyber Essentials certification serves to recognise and commend enterprises that have put in place good cyber hygiene practices to protect their operations and clients against common cyber-attacks.
