CHAPTER 4 STRONG INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS Through consensus, agreement, and cooperation, cyberspace can be a safer and more secure place for all. To achieve this, Singapore will: Forge international and ASEAN cooperation to counter cyber threats and cybercrime. We will continue working closely with the international community and ASEAN partners to strengthen platforms and procedures for cyber incident reporting and response. We will work with ASEAN Member States to coordinate the regional approach to cybercrime. We will also leverage INTERPOL’s resources to tap the global operational networks and capabilities to tackle cybercrime. Champion international and ASEAN cyber capacity building initiatives in operational, technical, legislative, cyber policy and diplomatic areas. We will partner the international community, Dialogue Partners and ASEAN Member States to organise workshops, seminars and conference that seek to advance cooperation and build capabilities in these aspects . Cyber threats do not respect sovereign boundaries and cyber-attacks can emanate from almost anywhere in the world. Malicious actors have deliberately exploited jurisdictional gaps between countries to their advantage. Moreover, with countries increasingly connected to one other through trade, global logistics and financial markets, cyber-attacks disrupting one country can and do have serious spill-over effects on other countries. International collaboration in cybersecurity is thus pivotal to our collective security. Singapore has been an active participant at international platforms on cybersecurity. As an ASEAN member, we have supported and contributed to regional efforts to build cybersecurity capabilities. Facilitate exchanges on cyber norms and legislation. We will continue to participate in global and regional discussions on cyber norms, cyber policy and legislation, cyber deterrence, and cybercrime cooperation. We will host an annual Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) – with the inaugural session in October 2016 – to catalyse, stimulate and promote exchanges on cybersecurity and cybercrime issues.
