CII owners will remain responsible for ensuring their CII are secure and resilient even as they embrace new technological and business models, like the use of cloud computing. They will also be required to report more types of cyber incidents, including those happening in the supply chain. Doing so will empower CSA to be more situationally aware of the cyber threats that could disrupt essential services and work with CII owners to proactively protect those services further.
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) has proposed amending the Cybersecurity Act 2018 through the Cybersecurity (Amendment) Bill. This will enable the law to keep pace with the developments in the cyber threat landscape and evolving digital economy.
Firstly, the Bill will update existing provisions relating to the cybersecurity of critical information infrastructure (CII) to ensure continuous delivery of essential services such as water, electricity and banking services.
