Gerald Giam on Cybersecurity (Amendment) Bill
Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure can pose a significant threat to Singapore's national security and well-being, said MP Gerald Giam in Parliament on Tuesday (May 7). With the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) empowered to regulate, monitor and enforce compliance through penalties and directives, he wanted to know if the Bill grants CSA or any other national body explicit authority to take over the operations of critical systems if their owners fail to secure them adequately, despite directions from the authority. He also asked if there is any additional protocol for bringing in the Singapore Armed Forces' Digital and Intelligence Service to manage the cybersecurity defences of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII). Mr Giam also wanted to know how the Government will enforce its extraterritorial judgments on overseas providers of CIIs if the owner is not in Singapore.
