The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) is proposing amendments to the Cybersecurity Act 2018 through the Cybersecurity (Amendment) Bill with the aim of ensuring that owners of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) remain responsible for their cybersecurity as they embrace digitalisation efforts alongside external cloud service providers (CSPs) and their third-party supply chains.  

The Bill also expands its coverage to include Foundational Digital Infrastructure (FDI) and Entities of Special Cybersecurity Interests (ESCI), encompassing healthcare institutions and institutions of higher learning.  

With the proposed amendment, CIIs must continually monitor risks and defend against cyberattacks in innovative ways. They must implement strategies for critical infrastructure resilience and proactively assess, manage, and prioritise threats.  

BDO Singapore and Mastercard are organising a Lunch & Learn Executive Seminar where you can learn how to build Critical Infrastructure Resilience from our experts. The seminar will cover:  

• Proactive monitoring: Utilising proactive monitoring tools provides organisations with a comprehensive view of their risk landscape, reducing issues in the event of a data breach and mitigating potential disasters.  
• Supply chain risk management: Significant cybersecurity events can occur in supply chain layers beyond immediate third parties. A comprehensive view of the supply chain, including insights into potential threat vectors, is crucial for thriving in today's environment.  
• Third-party risk management: Many critical infrastructure companies entrust sensitive data and operational functions to third parties. Real-time visibility into their cyber performance is essential to safeguard their digital ecosystem.

Overcoming the vulnerabilities in a critical infrastructure security system requires a proactive approach. To effectively manage cyber risk, every organisation needs to invest in visibility, insights, and reporting strategies that make it easier to understand and act on risks.
