Singapore's worst-ever data breach prompted the nation to bolster its cyber defences | ZDNetPart of a ZDNet Special Feature: Working from home: The future of business is remote[2]
Singapore is a global business hub, which means it's a prime target for cyber attacks. Its response has included mandatory cyber standards and a focus on basics.
In 2018, Singapore suffered its worst ever data breach when inadequate cybersecurity[3] at SingHealth saw a quarter of the population's medical records stolen.
The subsequent official review recommended remedies[4] that should already be basic security policies.
Two years after the SingHealth hack, Singapore's cybersecurity is being improved by everything from the fintech-oriented @-Wise Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence[5] to mandatory standards for home routers[6].
