What You'll Learn

The number of job postings for cyber security professionals has grown from 629 in 2018 Q1 to 4162 in 2021 Q1. This 6.6 times growth in over three (3) years is expected to increase in time, with the government announcing the Safer Cyberspace Masterplan in October 2020 that aims to raise Singapore's general level of cybersecurity. Under the master plan, a slew of initiatives such as a Cybersecurity Trustmark for enterprises that practise good cybersecurity and newly established processes to boost Singapore's cybersecurity defence will be put in place to safeguard digital assets.
