GovernmentWare 2014

On 23 September 2014, participants from the public and private sectors convened at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre for the 23rd GovernmentWare infocomm security seminar and exhibition to learn about the latest challenges in IT security.

The Guest-Of-Honour was Mr. Masagos Zulkifli, Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

In his opening speech, he indicated the complexity of having the complete visibility or oversight of the environment. “We have to build robust information and intelligence sharing channels which we can tap on to put in place effective early warning systems. Such systems will enable us to better prepare against cyber attacks.”

He also mentioned how government to work with private, education sectors to fight cyber threats. "For example, in January this year, KPMG set up a Cyber Security Centre in partnership with the Infocomm Development Authority and Singapore Polytechnic. The Centre brings together companies, institutes of higher learning and security technology vendors to build capabilities and drive innovation in cyber security."
