The recent call by NSA Director General Paul Nakasone for industries to disclose details of telecom hacks underscores the growing concern around cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The director highlighted that U.S. telecoms experienced a staggering 76 incidents related to data breaches and cyberattacks in just one year, emphasizing the pressing need for transparency in handling these threats. As cyber incidents continue to rise globally, our industry leaders must recognize that sharing information proactively can enhance security measures across sectors. Greater disclosure empowers companies not only to protect their systems but also fosters trust among consumers and stakeholders alike. Cyber resilience is not merely an operational necessity; it requires collaborative effort from all parties involved. For businesses in Singapore, engaging with this narrative means acknowledging the importance of transparency and preparedness in today’s interconnected world. As we adapt our strategies aligned with international standards, we must consider how we can contribute to a safer digital landscape while boosting our own defenses against potential threats.

Cyber Security Communications I Cyber Security Awareness Communications I Cyber Engagement and Outreach
Interesting and very sensible recommendations. However, isn't that the role of a #CISO? Or do the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT recommendations mean another member besides a CISO? I would also be interested to hear more about a unit that can support small and medium-sized businesses. Would they offer guidance and recommendations, or would they push regulations and policy onto these businesses? It's quite a big ask of businesses, particularly small businesses. However, it's positive to see this Government taking #cybersecurity seriously with the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. #resilience #cyber #informationsecurity #cybersecuritybill
CEO of the Online Dating and Discovery Association (ODDA), Co-Founder of Cyber London, Honorary Visiting Fellow at City, University of London and Associate for Dods Plc.
Fascinating article in today's The Independent on a report published by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, calling for the Government to "urgently prioritise new legislation to protect the UK from (cyber) attacks and catastrophic system failures." The BCS' recommendations include requiring company boards to include a member who will be held accountable for the firm’s cyber security and a new cyber security code of practice with mandatory requirements to report breaches. One recommendation the BCS make which I fully support is a call on the Government to set up a unit to support small and medium-sized businesses. A failing of many governmental systems around the world (not just our own) is that the work of government is often organised into silos which means they aren't very good at dealing with cross-cutting policy issues. Success or failure is often down to individual personalities at Ministerial level. Cyber is one of those issues which touches every part of government and therefore needs proper coordination. Placing this unit in the Department for Business and Trade (under the leadership of the Cabinet Office and informed by the National Cyber Security Centre as the UKs technical authority) would make perfect sense. It would also embed cyber security as a core business function. With the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill announced in the King's speech last month, it will be interesting to see the detail when it is published. https://lnkd.in/ei2KwVxz Cyber London #cyber #cyberresilience #cybersecurity

What We Can Learn from the Latest U.S. Telecom Breach Recently, the networks of major U.S. telecom companies were breached by Chinese hackers, reportedly gaining access to systems used for federal court wiretaps. This breach, known as “Salt Typhoon,” is a stark reminder of how sophisticated cyber espionage is evolving—and why understanding the layers of defense is crucial for businesses. Here’s what every organization should take away from this incident: 1. The Importance of Encryption: Sensitive communications and data should always be encrypted, whether in transit or at rest. This ensures that even if hackers gain access, the information remains protected. 2. Incident Response Plans: If you aren’t already prioritizing incident response drills, now is the time to start. Fast and coordinated action is essential to mitigate damage from any breach. 3. Zero Trust Model: Adopting a zero-trust architecture—where no user or system is trusted by default—can significantly reduce vulnerabilities. By assuming breach and constantly verifying users, you can strengthen your defenses. Understanding these risks is the first step toward better cybersecurity practices. How are you building your cybersecurity strategy? #CyberSecurity #CyberEspionage #CloudSecurity #GRC #ZeroTrust #Encryption #IncidentResponse

Foreign interference isn't just a cyber security or distant geopolitical issue, it poses a direct threat to Australian businesses across a range of methods. The recent example of Iranian activity shows how hostile actors can target sensitive sectors, potentially disrupting operations, stealing intellectual property, or even undermining trust with customers and partners. The 'so what' for Australian businesses clear: ignoring these risks can result in significant financial, reputational, and operational damage. To safeguard your business, distill these threats into how they specifically apply to you and address them through targeted, balanced actions. This approach goes beyond cybersecurity, it's about protecting your IP, assets and operations, to remain competitive, compliant, and resilient.
