According to the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), the proposed law will address a broader set of resilience and security risks across systematically important digital infrastructure, ranging from technical misconfigurations to physical hazards such as fires and cooling system failures.
As the line between the physical and online worlds thins, disruptions to digital services and the proliferation of online harms can negatively impact our well-being. Recognising this, one of the goals of Singapore’s refreshed Smart Nation vision (also known as Smart Nation 2.0) is to build a Smart Nation that we can trust.
To achieve that, Singapore will introduce a new Digital Infrastructure Act in 2025 to improve the reliability of key digital infrastructure and services.
