A recent survey found gaps in the cyber-security preparedness of local organisations.

SINGAPORE - More can be done to improve cyber security for Singapore’s companies and organisations, said Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo.

The survey queried organisations on the cyber-security measures they have adopted in five areas, such as using secure configuration settings for hardware and software, controlling access to data and services, and updating software on devices and systems. “There is much room for improvement as only a third of organisations surveyed adopted all measures in at least three categories,” she added.

“This has contributed to the shortfall in cyber professionals; even the most sophisticated organisations struggle to keep up,” she said. “It was therefore reassuring that 75 per cent of organisations surveyed were at least aware of the need for cyber security.”
