Half of security vulnerability reports the Singapore government received via bug bounties and public disclosure schemes have been ascertained to be valid. The public sector also recorded a 44% increase in data incidents over the past year, though, none were assessed to be of “high severity”.
The Singapore government reported 108 data security incidents in its fiscal 2020, ended March 31 this year, compared to 75 in the previous year. Despite the increase, the breaches were determined to be either low or medium in severity, according to a report released Tuesday by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO).
The level of severity was assessed based on the incident’s impact on national security or national interests, and on an individual or business entity. There were five levels of severity ranging from low to very severe.
