Chapter 3 Keeping Our Cyberspace Safe and Trustworthy Together FACILITATING EXCHANGES WITH REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS International collaboration is pivotal to global cybersecurity. Singapore has been actively involved in various international platforms on cybersecurity, from multilateral discussions on international cyber norms to bilateral cooperation. In 2016, CSA signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Netherlands and the USA. The MoUs cover cooperation in areas such as operational exchange of cyber threat and attackrelated information; sharing of best practices on national cybersecurity approaches, strategies and procedures and CII protection; certification of cybersecurity products and services; and training. Singapore has also initiated discussions on cyber norms with its ASEAN partners, including at the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity (AMCC). The AMCC was organised during the Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) in October 2016 for ASEAN Ministers and senior officials from the 40 telecommunications and other relevant sectors to discuss regional cybersecurity issues. It also saw ASEAN Member States agreeing on the value of developing a set of practical cybersecurity norms of behaviour in ASEAN, and calling for closer cooperation and stronger coordination on regional capacity-building initiatives. Such new initiatives will add to existing efforts which have been ongoing for many years. These include a capacity-building workshop jointly organised by Singapore and the USA for ASEAN countries in August 2016, and the annual ASEAN CERT Incident Drill (referred to as “ACID” by its participants), which has been testing the incident-handling procedures of ASEAN CERTS over the last 10 years. CYBERGREEN Cyber Norms discussion at the International Cyber Leaders’ Symposium held at the inaugural Singapore International Cyber Week on 10 Oct 2016 Initiated by the Japan Computer Emergency Response Team in 2014, the CyberGreen project aims to provide a cyberhealth check of countries by highlighting the levels of infections seen in each country. In 2016, Singapore became one of the founding sponsors of the global initiative. CSA will work with IMDA and telcos to clean up the infections in cyberspace to improve Singapore’s overall cyber hygiene.
