When we hear about a cyber attack, you might think about stolen passwords or leaked information, but there's also the disruption.
Lynlee FooHOST
Can people still use the services they need? How quickly can things get back on track? And as the technology available to attackers changes, how do we make sure our defenses keep up? That's what we're exploring on Viewpoint today, how ready is Singapore for the next wave of cyber threats? And joining me is Gwenda Fong, Chief Executive of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, or CSA, and Commissioner of Cybersecurity.
Lynlee FooHOST
Gwenda, welcome to Viewpoint.

Singapore is stepping up preparations for a future where powerful quantum computers could break the encryption, protecting sensitive data and digital transactions.
Shilpa ShadesHOST
Digital Development and Information Minister Josephine Teo says the Cybersecurity Agency is launching a new grant to help organizations test new forms of encryption.
Shilpa ShadesHOST
These will withstand quantum attacks, and priority will be given to critical sectors like banking, energy, and communications.
Shilpa ShadesHOST
Mrs. Teo said the threat may still be some way off, but replacing encryption across large systems can take years.

Cryptography gives organisations the awkward job of preparing before the date is knowable.

Singapore's Cyber Security Agency has issued a Quantum Safe Migration Advisory that calls for exposed organisations to establish a migration plan by the end of 2027.
Jesse OwenHOST
It sets a 2031 migration target for critical information infrastructure and encourages other organizations exposed to quantum risk to complete migration by 2035.
Jesse OwenHOST
The dates apply in Singapore, but they give security and procurement leaders elsewhere a concrete reference for work that can otherwise remain permanently parked in the future.

The Protective Domain Name Service, or PDNS, is expected to launch in 2027.

The move comes as the number of malware-infected computer systems detected here more than doubled last year to over 284,000.
Shilpa ShadesHOST
The service forms part of Singapore's refreshed cybersecurity strategy, which will also make greater use of AI to detect and respond to cyber threats more quickly.

Angela ManciniGUEST
And certainly one that's on the Singapore government radar.
Angela ManciniGUEST
As we know, there's a new head recently of the Singapore Cybersecurity Agency.
Angela ManciniGUEST
And she's actually going to be speaking at the Dow Jones Risk Journal Summit tomorrow, which is exciting.
Angela ManciniGUEST
They came out recently, the agency came out recently and said that last year, July 2025, you may have seen there were attempted attacks on four telcos here in Singapore from a cyber espionage group that's doing the advanced persistent threat.
