the most prestigious government agencies and businesses around the world, and
we are proud to build the capabilities of Singapore’s cyber security
professionals who serve on the front lines and help protect Singapore and its
critical information infrastructure from attackers. Around the world, the race
is on to address the shortage of cyber security expertise, and Singapore’s
efforts in this area will help cement its strategic leadership in cyber

Mr David Koh, Chief Executive, CSA, said: “The CSA Academy was mooted to
better train our cyber defenders, and equip them with the right skills and
expertise to defend our networks. Cyber attacks have become increasingly sophisticated,
some of them can be highly complex and targeted. CSA is glad to have FireEye on
board with us to provide customised training for our cyber defenders. We
welcome more industry partners to join us in this endeavour to raise the
quality of cybersecurity professionals in Singapore.”

The incident response training is designed to build capabilities to
effectively defend against cyber-attacks on computer systems and rapidly detect
and respond to cyber threats that continue to increase in frequency and sophistication.
The training in malware analysis will help cyber security professionals build
their capabilities with the tools and methodologies used to perform malware
analysis.
