Ensure government systems are secure and resilient

SG Cyber Safe Trustmark and cyber hygiene mark

Cybersecurity can be a competitive advantage. Businesses are digitalising faster than ever; cybersecurity will be key to securing the trust of consumers, especially given the increasing frequency of cyber breaches.

CSA is introducing a voluntary SG Cyber Safe Trustmark, which will serve as a mark of distinction to recognise companies with good cybersecurity measures. This will allow customers to make an informed choice on the companies to engage, based on their cybersecurity posture. For smaller enterprises that may not have dedicated IT or cybersecurity expertise, CSA is developing a separate cyber hygiene mark. This cyber hygiene mark is designed to be practical and implementable, focusing on basic cyber hygiene, so that businesses are better protected from common cyberattacks.

Both the Trustmark and cyber hygiene mark are being developed in consultation with industry practitioners.

CHAPTER 3

ENHANCE INTERNATIONAL CYBER COOPERATION

GOAL

Foster an open, secure, stable, accessible, peaceful, and interoperable cyberspace

Cyber threats are international and cross-border.

We have seen significant cyberattacks spill over country lines, from the SolarWinds breach, to the Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA) attack.

A resilient infrastructure and a safer cyberspace support our domestic resilience against cyber threats. However, we also need to engage and collaborate with our international partners to work towards the longer-term objective of a rules-based multilateral order in cyberspace, and develop mechanisms and policies to raise the global baseline level of cybersecurity.
