Cybersecurity a Part of the Digital Economy
Cybersecurity a Part of the Digital Economy
The rapid and
inevitable hyper connectivity required in an evolving digital world, while
opening up opportunities, leave many organisations exposed and vulnerable to
security gaps where nefarious cyber threat actors can benefit by inflicting
damage. In addition, the growth of smart, connected technologies that
capture both public and private data can threaten privacy if breached.
The interconnectivity of smart devices across Singapore means that the
compromise of a single point makes the entire network ecosystem vulnerable
to breaches and exfiltration of data.

“Cybersecurity
is and will continue to be critical to the success and growth of smart, digital
cities,” explained Tay Bee Kheng, Cisco Country Manager, Singapore and Brunei.
“To truly embrace the Smart Nation vision, Singapore needs to improve real-time
threat detection and incident response capabilities in an increasingly complex
and sophisticated digital landscape.” Today, where machine based intelligence
operation co-exists with human-operated systems, it is imperative that
cybersecurity infrastructure is vigilant, proactive and able to learn and
manage threats in real time.

“The nation’s
cybersecurity development is being hindered by a shortage of cybersecurity
professionals. To that end we are working with ST Electronics on a platform to
provide the necessary expertise, manpower and capabilities to train and ensure
the appropriate level of expertise and domain knowledge to maintain a strong
security posture for Singapore’s digital economy”, said Tay Bee Kheng.

“As our nation
embarks on a digital economy journey with more Smart Nation initiatives, the
cost of each security breach can be debilitating. New digital services need to
be secured, and organizations need to provide the highest level of security
assurance so that end-users will have the confidence that their data is
well-protected,” said Goh Eng Choon, (GM), (ST Electronics). “We are
collaborating with Cisco to provide advanced threat analytic managed services
to respond to threats intelligently and rapidly at any touchpoint.”
