DPM Tan had explained the tactics to fulfill the target of the Masterplan. First, infocomm security is not new in Singapore. Its plans have been carried out for a very long time. Moreover, laws are passed to recognize the usage of digital signatures in banking and finance sectors. However, due to relying on infocomm technology, there are increasing cases of cyber attacks. Thus, we have to cooperate with each other to defend and stop this from happening under the Masterplan. Its aims are to shield the important infocomm infrastructure, assure security in public sector and help to create a reliable surrounding for business. Furthermore, the Masterplan has suggested tactics to protect the infocomm surrounding for the people, private and public sectors through a series of programmes. It also pursues to establish national abilities to improve R&D in security technology and assure a reliable national infrastructure. Second, many intelligent security professionals are demanded to carry out essential security programmes; help us attract more well-known infocomm security companies to setup their operations here. Another important factor is the quality of the product and R&D abilities. This has been inspected based on international security standard by IDA under Common Criteria Certification Scheme. The mostly important national infocomm infrastructure is the controlling centre of national economy. Hence, the Masterplan pursues to protect this proactively by assuring that susceptibilities are diminished and attacks are found early through the National Cyber-threat Monitoring Centre. Lastly, everyone has to play a part in infocomm security. We must have responsibility in the security of our own assets, perceive the possible cascading effects of infocomm security mistakes and be responsible and secure user of infocomm technologies by maintaining latest safe infocomm practices. In conclusion, the Masterplan has to be reviewed, re-appraised and re-modified in order to give enough protection to our infocomm assets and investments.
