When it comes to cybersecurity, most business owners fall into two camps: those doing it for compliance (because a big client or regulator told them to) and those doing it for security posture (because they are genuinely worried about being hacked). If you are in the “security posture” camp, the options are overwhelming. Do you…
A domain name may look harmless — just an address that points users to your website. But behind every domain lies a treasure trove of information freely available to the public. From DNS records and certificates to historical data and internet scanners, an attacker can piece together your infrastructure like a digital jigsaw puzzle. “Security…
You’ve just completed a penetration test and the report looks clean. No Remote Code Execution, no SQL Injection. And then you remember—the test was conducted over the Internet, through the WAF. That raises a real concern: is your application genuinely secure, or did the WAF block serious attacks that your application is actually vulnerable to?…
In cybersecurity, Security Through Obscurity (STO) is the notion that hiding system details—like code, architecture, or configurations—can keep attackers at bay. At best, it’s a temporary deterrent. At worst, it’s a dangerous illusion that collapsed defenses once the secret is out. Recent events around Microsoft’s tightening of its Active Protections Program (MAPP) highlight why obscurity…
In Singapore’s competitive government project scene, winning the tender often feels like the hardest part. But for many M&E vendors, the real challenge — and the real cost — comes after the win. Time and again, we see vendors discover after signing the contract that the project includes strict government cybersecurity compliance requirements. These requirements…
In the past, Operational Technology (OT) systems ran in isolated, air-gapped environments. But times have changed. Modern industrial systems are increasingly integrated with IT networks, exposed to external vendors, cloud platforms, and remote access. This convergence brings tremendous efficiency gains — but also new cybersecurity risks. Recent attacks such as UNC3886 have shown how OT…
As more Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) vendors take on projects involving Operational Technology (OT) in critical infrastructure — from defense facilities to surveillance networks — cybersecurity is no longer optional. It’s a fundamental requirement. Whether you’re deploying SCADA systems for water treatment or installing sensors in a defense facility, your OT systems are now part…
Imagine you just received your penetration test report. You scroll down and see only a couple of low-severity issues — maybe a clickjacking vulnerability or a misconfigured HTTP header. No critical bugs. No SQL injection. No exposed admin portals. Should you be relieved? Happy? Or maybe… a little concerned? ⸻ What Low or No Findings…
If you are a Singapore government vendor, such as a provider of CCTV systems or Building Management Systems (BMS), you will likely encounter cybersecurity terms like DAST, SAST, VAPT, SSAT and SSCT frequently in project requirements. These tests are critical to ensuring the security and compliance of systems, particularly for on-premise or air-gapped deployments. Their differences…
Singapore’s digital infrastructure is governed by a robust set of cybersecurity frameworks. For companies working with government agencies or financial institutions, compliance is no longer optional—it’s a critical success factor. This guide explains three of the most important frameworks: IM8 (The Instruction Manual for ICT&SS Management) – The baseline for all public sector IT systems…
