From Passive Defence to Predictive Power, Advancing Singapore’s Cyber Posture

In today’s digitised world, cyber threats are growing in scale, precision and stealth. For hyper-connected Singapore, this means confronting some of the world’s most complex digital risks – from zero-day vulnerabilities and APTs to sophisticated malware that blends into routine operations. These aren’t just technical issues; they are strategic threats to business continuity, government services and public trust. 

These advanced threats rank among the most insidious and high-impact in today’s cyber landscape. They enable attackers to maintain stealthy, long-term access, move laterally across systems and exfiltrate sensitive data – often evading detection by conventional security controls. 

The challenge isn’t just their sophistication, but their ability to blend into legitimate activity. Countering them demands more than standard defences; it calls for a tightly integrated, intelligence-driven, and collaborative security posture that can detect and disrupt these threats before they escalate. 

Resilience today goes far beyond recovery and redundancy – it's about anticipation, adaptation and precision response. With zero-days and APTs bypassing traditional controls, true resilience relies on early detection, smart automation and continuously validated defences to ensure threats are neutralised before impact. 

Singapore’s cyber terrain is shaped not only by its digital leadership but also by its global connectivity. Attacks launched halfway across the world can reach local systems in hours. This makes speed and context essential. Threat intelligence must be global in scope yet locally actionable – able to map how an APT targeting global financial systems could intersect with Singapore’s banks, or how foreign malware could compromise local smart grids and critical services. 

Across the APAC region, organisations are contending with a surge in targeted attacks. To stay ahead, threat intelligence is continuously fed into solution development through global telemetry, sandboxing, behavioural analysis and threat actor tracking. This real-time intelligence loop enables the rapid tuning of detection engines, enrichment of response playbooks and development of adaptive defence mechanisms that evolve alongside the threat landscape 

The future of cybersecurity lies in tight integration. Bringing together global threat feeds, malware telemetry, behavioural analytics and vulnerability data within scalable infrastructure enables organisations to build intelligence-led defences. It’s not simply about visibility anymore – it’s about velocity and precision. When intelligence can be processed, contextualised and acted on quickly, defenders gain the upper hand. 

As cyberattacks grow more targeted and persistent, this marks a critical evolution: from a reactive stance of detection and response to a forward-looking approach built on prediction and prevention. By embedding threat intelligence deep into infrastructure and workflows, organisations can stay one step ahead of adversaries. 

The session will allow delegates to:

  • EVOLVE cybersecurity from a reactive shield to a proactive strategy 
  • UNCOVER emerging threats faster with global visibility and intelligent alerting 
  • ANTICIPATE complex attacks with insights into adversary tactics and behaviours 
  • ACCELERATE response and threat hunting to minimise dwell time and impact 
  • ENHANCE defensive strategies by targeting high-risk areas with precision 

Who should attend:

  • Chief Information Officers
  • Chief Information Security Officers
  • Directors of Heads of IT Security
  • Directors and Heads of Cybersecurity
  • Directors and Heads of Data Security
  • Heads of CISO Office
  • Heads of Security Architecture
  • Chief Technology Officers
  • Directors and Heads of IT
  • Chief Data Protection Officers

Organised by

OpenGov has over 20 years’ experience in providing a platform enabling collaboration. The last 5 years, solely to Public Sector within the Asia Pacific Region, including Australia and New Zealand. We are a team that has revolutionised the traditional conference platform, having developed a method to return real and tangible value to the delegates that attend. By creating an environment that enables and enhances true collaboration and knowledge exchange, OpenGov enhances the experience which provides true insights from lessons learnt. These insights are delivered from, and by the many leaders in government agencies from around the world that attend these events. These events cover ICT, Health, Education and Crisis Assessment Response Effectiveness (CARE). Our team has been past winners of the "Best CEO Level Conference in Asia" award.

In speaking with over 500 Government ICT officials this year, we have detailed the challenges many government CIO’s face. Due to the ever changing digital environment, CIO's struggle to keep up with all these changes. To assist these CIO's, OpenGov has embarked on a journey of exploration, finding solutions and best practice examples to assist CIO's in bridging this knowledge gap.

OpenGov has organised many types of events. These events being small training seminars, large scale conferences and industry based exhibitions. They specifically focus on Government, in the areas of Public Sector ICT, Health care and Education. To add further value to these events, we have included private sector representation, which has further expanded on our knowledge based and understanding in the delivery of services to our citizens.
