Cybersecurity an 'economic opportunity' for Singapore: Janil Puthucheary

CYBERSECURITY took centre stage in Parliament on Monday, roughly a fortnight after"digital defence" was added as the sixth pillar of Singapore's Total Defence ideology.

Dr Puthucheary, who is also Senior Minister of State for Transport, replied:"Our agencies are working closely with each other, and the cybersecurity ecosystem, to strengthen the pipeline of cybersecurity professionals, deepen their skills and technical expertise, and improve the career progression and recognition for the profession.

The new SecureTech track is to encourage smaller businesses to build more secure products and to adopt Common Criteria certification, said Dr Puthucheary. Calling the achievement"a step towards becoming a regional hub for product evaluation and certification", he added:"We are attracting global evaluation laboratories to anchor their operations in Singapore.
