A guide to Singapore’s Safer Cyberspace Masterplan

Malicious actors and cyber criminals have seized the opportunity to drive financial gain and cause chaos for both citizens and organizations.

In Singapore, the estimated loss to a larger enterprise from a cyber-attack is SG$18.9mn (US$14mn) according to the city state’s Safer Cyberspace Masterplan, published by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) in 2020. Despite this, 58 per cent of Singapore enterprises that use the internet for work have no cyber security measures, as noted by the CSA.

Singapore’s Safer Cyberspace Masterplan aims to help organizations understand the ‘creation of a safer cyberspace’ and attempts to raise the general level of cyber security awareness. It contains a framework on how the Singapore Government is taking steps to increase cyber-attack prevention and calls upon organizations to do the same.
