CSA, Cisco sign MoC to boost cyber defence

Cisco will facilitate the cross-exchange of industry practices with CSA.

The Cyber Security Agency (CSA) of Singapore signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with Cisco aiming to bolster the nation’s national security and digital resilience.

With Cisco’s security team Cisco Talos leveraging 60 government and law enforcement partnerships, it will facilitate the cross-exchange of industry practices with CSA.

Under the MoC, Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration programme will explore the new translation of the cyber defence concept of operations for national cybersecurity initiatives.

On a larger scale, the two will explore raising the baseline level of ASEAN cybersecurity through an ASEAN Cybersecurity Assessment Model (ACAM) program.

Moreover, to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap, CSA and Cisco will upskill professionals by offering tech education under the Cisco Networking Academy, security operation centre training, workshops and Capture-the-Flag competitions.

Tay Bee Kheng, president of Cisco ASEAN, and Dan Yock Hau, assistant chief executive of CSA, signed the memorandum during the Singapore International Cyber Week 2024.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
