Singapore's Operational Technology Cybersecurity Masterplan 2024: Key Points for Everyone

Singapore's Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Masterplan 2024 aims to protect critical systems that power essential services like electricity, water, and transportation from evolving cyber threats. Building on the achievements of the 2019 plan, the updated strategy focuses on enhancing cybersecurity training, fostering information sharing, strengthening policies, and promoting innovative technologies. A key feature is the "Secure-by-Deployment" principle, which ensures security is integrated into OT systems from design through deployment. By expanding its scope to include non-critical sectors and small businesses, the plan seeks to create a more resilient and secure OT ecosystem for Singapore.
