CSA CYBER ESSENTIALS AND CYBER TRUST MARKS CERTIFICATION

Since the Singapore Smart Nation Initiatives to date, there has currently been a significant impact from COVID-19 that has resulted in the market responding with required measures to deal with physical limitations of social interactions. The accelerating pace of Digital Transformation disrupts all businesses, small or large, and corporations, organizations, and even governments are constantly adapting more advanced IT solutions to remain relevant.

As more entities become more dependent on their IT systems to manage their day-to-day activities, real threats of cyber-attacks are becoming a primary valid concern. The converse is also true with more business opportunities than ever before, as more individuals and organizations are realizing that data is key to access to the digital economy.

The Singapore Government with key industry players has come together to set the standards for Cybersecurity for all enterprises and organizations in Singapore. The idea is to create awareness and create a benchmark to safeguard everyone’s interests and data by making well-informed choices, to align their goals and achieve business realization from Digital Adoption. To ensure this, businesses must prioritize enacting digital protection through best cybersecurity practices.
