 | Objectives Launched Feb 2005, the masterplan serves to develop national capabilities, enhance security technology research and development, and improve the resilience of critical infocomm infrastructure. | An Infocomm Security Masterplan (ISMP) was launched in Feb 2005. The masterplan serves to guide Singapore's nation-level efforts to protect the country against external and internal cyber-threats. The ISMP includes extensive initiatives to enhance the security of the infocomm environment in the public sector.
Under the ISMP, the Business Continuity Readiness Assessment Framework was established and provided a common framework to measure the level of readiness of the public sector agencies in resuming business operations should an incident result in the unavailability of their Government operations and services. Once the Business Continuity readiness level of the public sector has been measured and established using the framework, the result can be used to enhance the agencies' Business Continuity Plans to ensure a resilient and robust government infrastructure.
The human element was also not forgotten. The National Infocomm Security Awareness Programme includes effort to promote security awareness among the infocomm users in the Government, and was stepped-up through multiple channels, including game shows, contests, websites and an annual Public Sector Infocomm Security Seminar. |
