The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and TNB Ventures have launched a Cybersecurity Industry Call for Innovation inviting industry providers to develop innovative solutions to address specific cybersecurity challenges.
This is done in collaboration with Ascendas-Singbridge Group, PacificLight Power, Singapore LNG Corporation (SLNG), SMRT Corporation (SMRT) and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).
The Call for Innovation consolidates and articulates the cybersecurity needs of these organisations into challenge statements that industry solution providers are invited to address*.
There are two categories of challenge statements. The first category is Advanced Protection and Detection to help end-users avoid, defend against, and detect cyberattacks. This includes intelligent solutions that are able to detect intrusions into operational technology (OT) systems. The other category is Advanced Security Operations, to help end-users reduce their vulnerabilities through better management of their systems. This includes solutions to increase the efficiency of patch management processes and management of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud systems.
"The call provides an excellent platform for us to share with innovators and solution providers the challenges facing our sector, and to work together to strengthen the country's capacity to address the growing cybersecurity threats,” said Chong Nai Min, VP (Information Technology), SLNG.
"This call presents a unique opportunity for Ascendas-Singbridge Group to engage with a wide range of cybersecurity solution providers. It would certainly help us to gain access to, and be a sponsor of, innovation emerging from Singapore," said Alvin Tan, CIO, Ascendas-Singbridge Group.
Solution providers whose proposals are shortlisted will be invited to discuss their proposals in greater depth with the participating organisations for potential co-innovation, adoption and test-bedding.
Selected solutions that fulfil the eligibility criteria may also be awarded with proof of concept (POC) funding of up to S$500,000 under CSA’s Co-innovation and Development Proof-of-Concept Scheme.
Said Yu Tat Ming, CEO of PacificLight Energy and PacificLight Power: “To protect ourselves against increasing cyberthreats, it is vital that industry, regulators, researchers and IT specialists work together to increase our collective knowledge and capabilities."
“Keeping our digital infrastructure safe from relentless and increasingly advanced cyberattacks is a challenge that requires the joint effort of all stakeholders involved,” said Michael Yap, MD, TNB Ventures.
“Through this initiative, we aim to provide greater opportunities for innovative solutions to be supported and adopted more widely.”
Teo Chin Hock, Deputy Chief Executive (Development), CSA said: “The cyberthreat landscape is evolving rapidly. To build our cyberdefences and at the same time grow the industry, innovation is important. We are glad to have our partners on-board our first Cybersecurity Industry Call for Innovation. We hope to help them strengthen their cyber resilience, and at the same time, provide opportunities for solution providers to catalyse cutting-edge solutions here for commercial adoption.”
