The issue grabbed headlines after a Fastly-linked glitch took down thousands of government, news and social media websites across the globe on Jun 8.
In response to queries from CNA, SNDGG said the Government uses various CDN providers that are"globally recognised with proven track records". "Most servers are located in Singapore, Australia and the US," he added."It is worth noticing that besides cloud, MOH also hosts various web applications on its on-premises servers.Mr Jon Ng, Asia-Pacific and Japan head of cloud security engineering at Check Point Software Technologies,"strongly" advised organisations against putting all their eggs in one basket.
"One of the reasons why websites use these providers is because they believe that they have robust security defences," he said. "It is clear that threat actors are stepping up their activity, and when we examine the recent flurry of cyberattacks in Singapore against the country’s threat landscape, we expect supply chain attacks to feature more prominently," Mr Yeo added.
These examples mean CDN providers have an"enormous" responsibility to ensure a high level of cybersecurity through regular audits and penetration tests, Mr He said.
