Cyberspace is international and devoid of borders. As a result, cyberattacks can be carried out by anyone, anywhere on the globe. Putting in place cyber resilience measures to defend ourselves is critical, regardless of who the bad actor is. Singapore must take steps in cyberspace to protect Singaporeans’ digital security from cyberattacks purportedly carried out at the behest of state actors and state-backed groups. In light of recent events, Singapore should likewise take additional and updated measures to address the threat of such attacks.

2021 年将因全球范围内发现的大量网络攻击和严重漏洞而被铭记，其中最近的一个漏洞是在软件开发人员广泛使用的开源 Java 包中发现的一个弱点。当发现已知事件和漏洞时，网络安全局会迅速采取行动，以保证我们关键信息基础设施和业务的安全。

CSA 安排了两次与 CII 部门的紧急会议，以提供技术细节和缓解策略，并加强对意外活动的监视。发布了公共咨询和警报，并告知行业协会和商会企业需要尽快实施缓解措施。

The CSA recommends adopting a “zero-trust” approach to boost Singapore’s cybersecurity. This is based on two essential principles: first, never trust any activity on your networks without first validating it, and second, maintain ongoing monitoring and awareness for suspicious activity. The CII Supply Chain Programme is being developed by CSA to ensure that CII owners and their vendors follow international best practices for supply chain risk management.

At the same time, as part of the SG Cyber Safe Programme, CSA developed actionable cybersecurity toolkits and resources for businesses to improve their cyber defenses. The CSA’s website has these toolkits and tools. The best defense against cyberattacks, according to the CSA, is a population that is vigilant and follows good cyber practices. Businesses and organizations are in charge of their own cybersecurity and must take steps to improve their position.

这包括使他们的软件和系统保持最新，以及实践事件响应和业务连续性策略，以确保人员在发生事件时做好准备。个人应保持良好的网络卫生并注意网络钓鱼链接。为了安全可靠地参与数字舞台，我们都必须加强防御。据 OpenGov Asia 称，CSA 为企业推出了一系列工具包，用于指导高级企业领导、中小企业所有者和员工的网络安全问题。新工具包使网络安全更易于理解，并允许组织就安全性、系统可用性和成本做出更有根据的决策。

面向企业高管和中小企业所有者的工具包将侧重于投资网络安全的商业原因，例如合理化网络安全投资以及培养网络安全文化如何帮助组织实现数字化转型的好处。尽管 80% 的新加坡中小企业支持并实施了数字化转型，但网络安全被认为是小企业不进行数字化的主要原因。主题包括网络安全领导力的培养和员工网络安全教育的指导。

The program is part of the Safer Cyberspace Masterplan, which was introduced last year. The master plan was created in collaboration with the cybersecurity sector and academia in order to improve Singapore’s overall cybersecurity for individuals, communities, businesses, and organizations. Securing Singapore’s basic digital infrastructure, safeguarding cyberspace operations, and enabling a cyber-savvy populace are all key areas of concern.
