(i)
Increasing cybercrime awareness in the private sector
42.
SPF regularly engages key private sector stakeholders (e.g. stakeholders in the IT and banking
industries) to enhance cybercrime prevention efforts. CSA and the Singapore Infocomm Technology
Federation (SITF) lead the Cyber Security Awareness Alliance (CSAA), which includes SPF, the Media
Development Authority of Singapore (MDA), iDA, the Media Literacy Council, as well as other IT
companies. Through CSAA, SPF works closely with IT companies in Singapore, to raise awareness of
cybercrimes in the private sector and in Government, and to encourage the adoption of good cyber
hygiene practices.
(ii)
Developing capabilities to combat cybercrime
43.
SPF has partnered local research institutes to develop new cybercrime investigations and
forensics capabilities:
a.
Cyber-Forensics Project
Under the National Cyber Security Research & Development Programme (NCRP), SPF
is working with the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) to enhance capabilities in
digital forensics.
b.
Video trawling and analytics
SPF has partnered the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to develop deep
learning capabilities to enhance object detection and recognition, including the
detection and recognition of everyday objects, such as caps, backpacks and car
models.
c.
Online and social media analytics
SPF and Temasek Polytechnic have jointly developed a tool to assist investigators in
advanced social media analysis, so as to identify useful leads for cybercrime
investigations.
d.
Malware analysis tools
MHA is working with industry to develop customised malware analysis tools. This will
enable more effective incident triage and case assessment by cybercrime
investigators.
44.
MHA has also worked with IHLs to create conducive environments for the development of
cyber-related innovations. One example is MHA and Temasek Polytechnic’s joint establishment of the
Temasek Advanced LEarning, Nurturing and Testing (TALENT) Lab, which serves as a platform for
students from IHLs to design and validate innovations, to see if they are effective in dealing with
cyber-threats. The TALENT Lab will foster deeper cooperation between MHA and IHLs in the areas of
cyber-forensics and cyber-investigations, and facilitate knowledge sharing among students from the
different IHLs.
