A/72/315 • Foster a culture of cybersecurity that promotes safe and appropriate use of cyberspace • Develop and cultivate national cybersecurity capabilities. The computer emergency response team has been successfully delivering different information security services to meet the needs of the country ’s constituents, businesses and organizations, especially in the areas of incident response, intelligence, resiliency, training and awareness, crisis management, key public infrastructure licensing and identity, and the creation of the national information security compliance framework. Qatar believes there is currently a gap in the ability of States to gain and share sufficient cyber situational awareness at regional and international levels to enable effective decision-making. More work is needed on collaborative prevention to ensure stronger cybersecurity across cyberinfrastructure and services to ensure resilience, especially in regard to the normal operation of daily life for Governments, services, businesses, consumers and citizens. Cybersecurity has never been more efficient than when information e xchange is taking place. Working on information-sharing agreements would be a great asset for States through collaboration frameworks that describe verification and compliance methodologies. Attacks will happen and nations, Governments, organizations and industry must be prepared, together. Singapore [Original: English] [31 July 2017] As a small and highly connected State, Singapore supports a secure and resilient cyberspace underpinned by international law, well -defined norms of responsible State behaviour and coordinated capacity-building efforts to meet these norms. Robust international cooperation is necessary to address the emerging challenges posed by cyberthreats and Singapore will play its part. Singapore established its Cyber Security Agency in 2015 to provide centralized oversight of national cybersecurity functions. Singapore ’s cybersecurity strategy was launched in October 2016 and outlines its holistic approach to protecting essential services from cyberthreats and creating a secure cyberspace. Four pillars underpin the strategy: building a resilient infrastructure; creating a safer cyberspace; developing a vibrant cybersecurity ecosystem; and strengthening international partnerships. At the regional level, Singapore is working to build and deepen capacities among its neighbours. It has launched a S$10 million cybercapacity programme in association with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to complement regional capacity-building efforts. Under this programme, Singapore held an ASEAN cybernorms workshop in May 2017 and will hold an ASEAN cybersecurity capacity-building workshop in August 2017. It also hosts the annual Singapore International Cyber Week, which comprises the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity and the International Cyber Leaders’ Symposium for global leaders across government, industry and academia to engage the region and discuss emerging and cross-cutting issues. In terms of multilateral cooperation, Singapore supports the work of the Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and 17-13876 23/25
