• 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.

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
