In an increasingly digitalized world, it is no longer a matter of if but when a business will be attacked by cybercriminals. There is also no business too small to escape their attention. In fact, there has been a marked rise in the incidences of cyberattacks on SMEs in recent years. Digitalization is an enabler of business but it is also an enabler of cyber criminals especially when human error is combined with lax controls and processes.

The Chamber was delighted to host its third and final government dialogue this year on 18 November. The topic cybersecurity and data protection with a panel of expert speakers from both the public and private sectors. Ms. Veronica Tan, Director of Safe Cyberspace in Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) shared CSA’s initiatives and the resources available to help enterprises remain cyber safe.
