CHINESE Internet users have turned to virtual private networks (VPNs) to access sites blocked by their government, a ploy that could take hold here if new anti- piracy laws kick in.
VPNs work by making it seem that the user is accessing the site from another country, such as the United States, where the offending website is not blocked.
If the proposed new legislation - which would allow copyright holders to force Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to piracy sites - comes into force, more tech-savvy Singaporeans might opt for a VPN.
"By implementing (piracy site blocking), a lot of users will seek other options to bypass the blocks," said Singapore Polytechnic senior lecturer Samson Yeow of the School of Digital Media and Infocomm Technology.

Chief security officer role gaining prominence - The Business Times
At least 50 per cent of all companies will have a chief security officer (CSO) of some sorts in their C-suites in five years’ time, as opposed to less than one per cent which currently do, according to Naveen Bhat, Ixia’s vice-president and APAC general manager.
According to Liew Chin Chuan, course chair of SP’s DISM, Singapore is taking a leading position in establishing a very secure network. SP’s Cyber Security Academy, a first in the region, is an example of such leadership.
