SINGAPORE - Singapore on Tuesday announced new measures to strengthen cyber security to prevent a recurrence of attacks on government websites including those of its president and prime minister.
Information minister Yaacob Ibrahim said the government is upgrading its Cyber-Watch Centre, allowing it to track malicious activities and respond swiftly when there are security breaches.
The upgrades are expected to be completed by January 2015.
"Large-scale cyber security breaches have made headlines and raised public concerns," Yaacob said in a speech to a conference of experts in Singapore, referring to attacks against US retailer Target and other international incidents. "Governments, businesses, manufacturers and consumers must guard against data leakage, unauthorized access to corporate resources and malware attack against their networks," he said.
Yaacob said the government is working to increase the number of homegrown cyber security experts by partnering with local universities that offer specialist degrees.
