ASEAN CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER ASSOCIATION

To support the vision for a safer cyberspace for enterprises, expertise and support from across the cybersecurity ecosystem is key to move as one smart and secure nation. Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Ministry of National Development, Mr Kiat How Tan announced updates to the SMEs Go Digital programme’s cybersecurity category. By aligning with the “Secure/Protect” and “Backup” categories of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA)’s Cyber Essentials mark, SMEs now have a clearer path to adopting pre-approved cybersecurity solutions that help to protect their operations. To further expand cloud safety, Mr Tan also announced the mutual recognition of CSA’s Cyber Trust mark and the Cloud Security Alliance’s Security, Trust, Assurance and Risk (STAR) Level 2 certification. With the mutual recognition, organisations with the Cyber Trust mark may see potentially reduced time and effort when applying for the STAR Level 2 certification, and vice versa.

"Building trust is a key line of effort in Singapore’s approach for Smart Nation 2.0, and we will be doing more to secure Singapore as a Smart City against cyber-physical risks," said Dr Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Ministry of Health. At the inaugural Securing Smart Cities event at the Singapore International Cyber Week 2024, Dr Janil emphasised the risks posed by cyber-physical threats, where digital disruptions can cause real-world damage and affect day to day lives. Dr Janil spoke about Singapore’s approach to cyber-physical risks.   He highlighted the updated Cybersecurity Act that strengthened safeguards of our critical information infrastructure, an upcoming Digital Infrastructure Act that would further address broader set of security and resilience risks to digital infrastructure, as well as a refreshed Operational Technology Cybersecurity Masterplan. The panel discussion that followed centred on possible strategies to future-proof smart cities against evolving cyber-physical risks, how public-private partnerships can be strengthened to enhance cybersecurity resilience in securing smart city infrastructure. #SICW2024 #CyberSecurityWeek #DigitalTrust #GlobalInnovation #DigitalFuture #TechLeadership
