NTT Data and NTT Security Holdings have agreed to work with Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) to enhance Singapore’s cyber resilience.
The tripartite Memorandum of Understanding aims to bolster Singapore’s cyber defence efforts and foster collaboration in the face of evolving cyber threats.
It will involve discussions on cybersecurity collaboration, including
exchange of intelligence on cyber threats, online scams and vulnerabilities, and technical cooperation to develop cybersecurity solutions for the Singapore government.
CSA and NTT will engage in regular reviews to assess opportunities, risks and challenges associated with emerging technologies such as AI and quantum
security.
In partnership with Infocomm Media Development Authority and institutes of higher learning, NTT Data will invest US$10 million to develop the next generation of tech leaders in Singapore.
“Cybersecurity is a team effort. It is therefore essential for CSA to collaborate with industry players to leverage their capabilities and deep domain expertise to jointly shape the digital terrain for Singapore in our endeavour to protect and defend Singapore’s cyberspace,” said Chua Kuan Seah, Deputy Chief Executive (Development) of CSA.
‘’It is imperative that in an increasingly digitally connected world, businesses are adequately equipped with the right capabilities to cope with the cybersecurity risks emerging from today’s technological advancements. Our collaboration aims to strengthen the nation’s cyber defence by combining NTT DATA’s tech expertise with the intelligence from CSA to provide robust solutions that safeguard our critical infrastructure and sensitive data,” said Png Kim Meng, Chief Executive Officer of NTT Data Singapore.
“NTT Security Holdings is committed to contributing to global cybersecurity. This MoU is an example of the company’s proactive collaboration with global cybersecurity stakeholders,” said Shinichi Yokohama, CEO of NTT Security Holdings.
