Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
You would think that US would be up there somewhere with cybersecurity but there are many hackers in the US that can bypass many things. So Singapore in the league then Good for them and continue the progress.

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
It makes some sense that Singapore is ahead -- it's a small country, but it is highly automated. The city-nation also wants to maintain strict control over its residents, and it can't maintain an orderly smart-city without automated traffic/transportation controls. If those transportation controls were hacked, the city would be flooded with traffic jams and might grind to a halt.
Singapore has historically been quite paranoid about its physcial security. It's small enough that it could "easily" be overrun by attackers -- if not for everyone having mandatory military training. So it's not surprising that after physical security, Singapore would also want cyber-security as well. Given how good "Singapore Math" is, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone isn't also trained in good IT hygiene, too.

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
@mhhf1ve would we still call it "paranoid" when major security breaches make the news every day? And those are the ones that we know about; I'm sure many otheres don't make headlines.

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
Singapore has a lot of incentive to make sure its IT security is top notch.
Technology is one of the country's biggest industries. It's not like Singapore has a bunch of natural resources - it has to rely on advanced economics. Cybersecurity is part of that equation.

Singapore Tops UN Cybersecurity Survey
That Singapore beat out the U.S. in its cybersecurity approach is telling. The U.S. could learn something from this country.

Can We Learn?
That's great and all, but I want to know how much they are willing to share so the U.S. can get their hands on some better security.

Is Cybersecurity a smokescreen?
Being the best at cybersecurity pretty much means that you have it figured out for today. The problem is that the bad guys come up with ways to get past security as fast as good guys can build the walls. Still, it would be nice to be the country with the least amount of security issues to worry about.
Re: Can We Learn?
@afwriter - In my opinion it would be in Singapore's best interest to share their advances in technology, if for no other reason than profit.

Singapore and the US are allies, and I know there are already some security partnerships for transferring Singapore's know-how to the US. However, some things just can't be replicated in the US. Singapore's citizens are accustomed to their freedoms being limited by their government -- but the US can't legally surveil residents (ahem, at least, post-Snowden). The US can learn, but not everything can be applied.

Hmm. I suppose we should all be "reasonably mistrustful" -- but being paranoid means that we are "unreasonably mistrustful" -- so.. hopefully, the "fake news" and conspiracy theories of the day aren't making us unreasonable!
