Besides "foritifying" what security we have, we need to make sure citizens know what is the urgency of this. Not with a random PSA, but to hit them where they know, then they will finally know why we as a nation need a thorough security.
In what way you might ask? Hack singaporeans account. Do not do anything with it. Just use that as an example of technological terrorism that anyone can do.

# data[].attributes.body
besides strengthening cyber security, educate others so that they will also be more aware. they will also actively take more measures to protect their profiles

# data[].attributes.body
Netizens should be further educated about how to keep their online profiles and information. Practising responsible internet usage can reduce the chances of being victimised by cyber attacks. One way of educating people about this is through inculcating more IT lessons during curriculum time in school. This way, Singaporeans would learn from an early age and thus they would be more informed about the dangers of the Internet.

Educate the common people about cyber security so that they know what to do in the instance of being hacked or seeing hacking happen.

# data[].attributes.body
the first strategy is to educate people of the importance of online security. and to remind them of the need to safekeep details and personal information. second strategy is to hire experienced and strong hackers with the intent to protect the country and safety online and counter-hack the aggressive hackers when they hack

# data[].attributes.body
Students should be educated in depth on cyber security in schools so that they will be more aware and thus more careful.

# data[].attributes.body
They should employ experienced hackers, both black and white hackers with knowledge and experts in their own field to build a very strong system that cannot be hacked just by any hacking organization or individual.

# data[].attributes.body
We can do exercise on these kinds of cyber attack. It is like how we have practice sessions for terrorists, we can do it for cyber attacks as well. This will help us to learn how we should react or act. We can also implement stricter cyber laws or rules to prevent attacks like hacking.

1. Citizens should install security softwares to prevent hacking or leaving of information from their devices.

schools could help to educate students on how they should use the internet responsibly and that they should log out after each use of the particular media and that they should use different passwords for each respective social media. to educate the public , advertistment can be shown as how to prevent such instances of the risk of being hacked. basically to educate people to make them more aware about the risk of their personal security being invaded.

they definitely could have acted sooner but at least they're finally taking action against it.

To be ever ready to counter the defences against the imminent threat of online attacks.

# data[].attributes.body
it is to defend the government sites against cyber attacks.

strategy:
Ensure people monitoring operations are properly trained on how to identify cyber attacks.

# data[].attributes.body
A. For a stronger system and better processes to be put in place in defense of cyber attacks.
B. It is highly controlled and assessed, where skilled personnels are put in charged 24/7 to monitor important networks.
C. It could have been implemented later, where hackers are even more skilled, prepared, and aggressive. Hence the DCO has been implemented at a good time, even if it could have been set up a little earlier.

# data[].attributes.body
Its to prevent such attacks from happening again and to protect information that could lead to the downfall of a country. It's also to prevent confidential information from being leaked. I think that its too late for the information has already been stolen, if they did this earlier they could have prevent the attack from happening in the first place. One way of preventing such crisis from happening again is by placing this information on many different platforms and servers as this will help minimize the information leaked if they were hacked. Another way is to educate the people of our society the importance of cyber security and severity of stealing information.

The DCO was set up to strengthen cyber defence and security against increasing cyber attacks.

it is not too late to start securing Singapore's cyber networks because better late than never, & this can prevent more advanced information from being hacked.

To prevent future cyber attacks from occuring.
It will be an effective deterrent against online threats as there will be military personnel employed to monitor the military networks round-the-clock.
Other strategies that can be implemented is to arouse public awareness on the amount of private information revealed on websites.

it's also probably way too late of a move as it isn't the first time getting hacked.
I think getting hackers to try and find loop holes in certain websites like what Facebook does would be a good idea as they would have the experience to hack and from there we could "reverse engineer" it to be "hack proof"

To keep Singapore safe and secure from cyber attacks

# data[].attributes.body
To provide better security services and to strengthen Singapores defences against the growth in threats online.

Providing physical monitoring may be effiective due to the prevention in human error , where people would not forget to log out of an important system.

Also , there are many softwares that protects personal information. I think it is not a bad choice to invest in such softwares. However , it may be a scam that you see online. Therefore researches on protective softwares are necessary.

Government can also hire experts specialise in cyber security that are talented and trained to strengthen cyber security.

okay cool 12/10 easy

To strengthen Singapore's defences against the growing threat of online attacks.

- I think the DCO was set up to guard against future possible online attacks on Singapore. Especially with the growth of increasingly more powerful cyber attackers, like Anonymous.
- I find that it is still not too late to do something about cyber attacks now. Information may have been obtained by others, but it could have been alot worse.
- 1. Cyber defenses could be regularly maintained and updated so as to be on par with any cyber attackers' level.
2. Current personnel in charge of cyber security could be sent for further training to upgrade their skills set and be up to date with today's fast advancements in technology.

Strategy
Install better security software to defend

a) I think the Government set up the DCO to strengthen and tighten the cyber security against different types of death threats. It is needed to set up this Organisation,so that personal information can be safely kept. Cyber Attacks can be then prevented.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that it is because Singapore knows the power that the hackers encompasses, and knows that drastic conflicts calls drastic measures.
It shows the amount of effort that Singapore is willing to fork out, showing that they are serious about their cyber security, thus frightening potential hackers from hacking Singapore technology.

the government set up the DCO to strengthen the cyber defense and security of the network of Singapore. also to take precaution measures for potential future possible attacks.

After reading this article, post your answers to the following discussion questions.

- Why do you think the government set up the DCO?

- How do you think DCO will be an effective deterrent against "external threats through the digital front"?

[Chap 11] Singapore strengthens cyber defence with new organisation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Singapore is setting up a new Defence Cyber Organisation (DCO) to bolster its defences against the growing threat of online attacks, as it moves to boost the round- the-clock protection of its military networks.

It will also build a force of cyber defenders - tapping national servicemen, both full-time and operationally ready men - who will lead the charge in this new battlefront.

These moves are vital in the light of the Defence Ministry's (Mindef) disclosure earlier this week that the personal details of 850 NSmen and staff were stolen, a theft uncovered last month.

"We can expect more of such cyber attacks in the future," Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said yesterday when announcing the DCO in Parliament during the debate on Mindef's budget.

Dealing with such security threats, including fake news, is increasingly important for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), which as a fighting force is relying more often on computer technology.

Cyber warfare is a growing phenomenon. Dr Ng cited Ukraine's power grid being hit by cyber attacks and, in the US presidential election, the computers of the Democratic National Committee were hacked by unknown sources to discredit its candidate Hillary Clinton.

Fake news inflamed ethnic and political tensions in Indonesia, prompting it to form an agency to counter cyber crime and fake news.

"Modern militaries can no longer choose to ignore these external threats through the digital front,'' said Dr Ng.

Explaining the make-up of the DCO, he said it is "at the highest level of our organisational hierarchy".

It will have four formations, each with different roles, including overseeing the cyber security of all defence agencies and building up cyber defence capabilities.

The DCO will be led by a deputy secretary and the formations by a colonel or a flag officer, who is either a general or an admiral.

It fortifies the military's past efforts at securing its cyber defence. These include the 2013 Cyber Defence Operations Hub, which gathers its cyber-security experts under one command.

The round-the-clock monitoring of the military networks will be carried out by two units of the Cyber Defence Group (CDG) formation.

They are the Security Monitoring Unit and Incident Response and Audit Unit, whoseteams will identify and neutralise cyber threats.

Under the units' watch, the security of SAF's networks will also be audited for resilience.

The CDG also has the Cyber Defence Test and Evaluation Centre, which has been operational since 2015 but was unveiled yesterday.

The ministry plans to have about 2,600 cyber defenders in 10 years - a big jump from the current numbers that "reflects the importance of this new battlefront", said Dr Ng.

SAF will also partner Singapore Technologies Electronics (Info-Security) and Nanyang Polytechnic to provide, among others, industrial attachments and joint development of cyber defence curriculum.

Two new defence technology labs are to be set up, to develop robotics, and exploit artificial intelligence and data analytics.

In addition, a new $900 million training ground covering 88ha will be built to give SAF soldiers a realistic combat experience.

Dr Ng said: "Even as we set up a new cyber command and technology labs... we must never neglect to train the SAF as a conventional force against traditional threats... and terrorism."
