Singapore’s S$70m Masterplan to boost infocomm security

Over the next five years, Singapore's people, public and private sectors will work more closely to ward off emerging cyber threats, under a new strategy.

The Singapore government announced this today, launching a new S$70 million Infocomm Security Masterplan 2 (MP2).

The MP2 follows the first Infocomm Security Masterplan which was launched in 2005 as a strategic roadmap to develop capabilities to prevent cyber security incidents.

"While the first Masterplan1 aimed largely at providing the public sector with measures to counter infocomm security threats, the second Masterplan will expand on that and engage both the public and private sectors even more deeply in securing Singapore's cyber space," said Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports at the annual Infocomm Security Seminar.
