Brace your business against brazen cyberattacks
If the pandemic caused a degree of cyber-pandemonium, current geopolitical tensions are adding to the anxiety among companies.
IT IS pertinent and timely that more businesses under the Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) category will need to beef up their cyber-defences to comply with the strict code of conduct. It is also apt that the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) in Singapore is reviewing existing cybersecurity regulations for CII sector to cover additional foundational digital infrastructure and key digital services.
Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information, Josephine Teo, announced in Parliament recently 11 CII sectors in the country responsible for the continuous delivery of essential services; namely Government, info-communications, energy, aviation, maritime, land transport, healthcare, banking and finance, water, security & emergency and media.
On the other hand, securing non-CII digital infrastructure and services is equally important as they they form the backbone of the country's connectivity, computing and data storage needs. "If disrupted or compromised, there could be serious knock-on effects. Imagine the chaos of not having access to e-mails, websites and apps" said Teo.
