CHAMPION INTERNATIONAL AND ASEAN CYBER CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVES Cyber threats are borderless and no country can deal with the rapidly evolving threat landscape alone. Singapore stays committed to build cybersecurity capacity within ASEAN in operational, technical, legislative, cyber policy and diplomatic areas.

To do so, Singapore will partner the international community, Dialogue Partners and ASEAN Member States (AMS) to organise workshops, seminars and conferences that advance international and regional cooperation in these aspects. We will also support the active role played by the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) countries in fostering cyber confidence building and capacity building measures.
