"As one of the most connected countries in the world, Singapore remains a target for cyber- attacks and cybercrime. Threat actors have continued to evolve their tactics, resulting in an intensification of malicious cyber activities in 2019,” says David Koh, Commissioner of Cybersecurity and Chief Executive of CSA.
