Tan Kiat How on securing Singapore's space-based critical information infrastructure

Over 99 per cent of Singapore's Internet traffic today is transmitted via non-satellite means - internationally through submarine cables, and domestically via terrestrial cables and radio networks. Specific enterprises here may use satellites as a secondary channel for communications or environmental monitoring. The impact of potential disruptions to satellite services today is therefore limited. Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How said this in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26) in reply to an MP’s questions, adding that security and resilience are built into the various networks in their design.
