Eileen Chong on Digital Infrastructure Bill
It is timely to introduce legislation that addresses non-cyber risks which also affect the security and resilience of major data centres and cloud service providers, said NCMP Eileen Chong. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (Oct 6), she highlighted the need for clarity in the way the measures will work, including the tradeoffs. She sought clarifications on how the requirements will work in practice. No serious operator or service provider would object to being held to a standard, but what would wear them down is being held to varying standards that have not been reconciled, she said.
