The Singapore government will finetune several provisions in the country’s upcoming cybersecurity bill in response to public feedback regarding its proposed licensing framework and definition of responsibilities.
Slated to be introduced in parliament early-2018, the Cybersecurity Bill was first unveiled in July this year and touted as a necessary step to enable the relevant authorities to take proactive measures to protect local critical information infrastructures (CIIs) and swiftly respond to threats and incidents. It listed 11 sectors considered to own CIIs, including water, healthcare, government, maritime, energy, and aviation.
