SINGAPORE’S CRITICAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS The reliable supply of essential services depends on the security of the computer and network infrastructure in Singapore’s Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) sectors. Today, we have identified 11 CII sectors, which cut across utilities, transport, and services. Cyber-attacks on Singapore’s CIIs may have spill-over effects regionally and globally. As an international financial, shipping and aviation hub, Singapore also houses critical systems that transcend national borders, such as global payment systems, port operations systems, and air-traffic control systems. Successful attacks on these supra-national CIIs can have disproportionate effects on the trade and banking systems beyond Singapore’s shores.

SERVICES Singapore is a major financial centre that processes massive amounts of transactions every second. For example, our local inter-bank payment systems handle millions of transactions totalling trillions of dollars annually. Many of our public services – government transactions, healthcare, emergency services – are increasingly reliant on complex underlying computer systems to serve millions of users each year. The Government Technology Agency (GovTech), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), MOH Holdings (the holding company of Singapore’s public healthcare entities), Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) are committed to strengthening the cybersecurity of the systems delivering government and emergency services, healthcare, media, and banking and financial services. 10 CHAPTER 1 UTILITIES Power, water and telecommunications are the lifeline of modern cities. In particular, the failure of power and telecommunications services can bring other services to a grinding halt. The Energy Market Authority (EMA), Public Utilities Board (PUB) and Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) will work closely with the private operators delivering these services to raise their cybersecurity posture and ensure the reliability of these services. TRANSPORT Singapore is an international logistics hub. The Singapore Port and Changi Airport are among the world’s busiest. The Port is a major transhipment hub that handles more than 130,000 vessels and 30 million containers each year. The Airport sees more than 340,000 flights, 55 million travellers, and 1.8 million tons of cargo annually. Our public transport system handles 7.5 million passenger trips per day. The Land Transport Authority (LTA), Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) have put in place governance frameworks and are building cybersecurity capability to ensure that our transport and logistics systems are robust.
