Cybersecurity

Tapping potential of cyber security

The CFE has identified cyber security as an area of great potential, and Singapore has been rolling out new initiatives to defend itself against attacks. These include a national cyber security strategy that lays out the country's long-term approach to securing its cyberspace and critical infrastructure, and a national Cyber Security Agency.

Cyber security has grown by leaps and bounds since Mr Noordin's teenage years, when he would stay up till 3am dabbling with security tools and techniques to the confusion of family and friends who did not see the potential of the field. Now, it is hard to deny its importance. Opportunities abound, and people have been flocking to make a career in it.
