Singapore board directors to get cyber crisis training

2025-08-19 12:00

Board-level cybersecurity training addresses the governance gap where directors lack sufficient technical understanding to provide effective oversight of cyber risks. Crisis training specifically prepares board members for high-pressure decision-making during active cyber incidents when rapid response and clear communication are essential. Singapore board directors face unique challenges due to the interconnected nature of the city-state's critical infrastructure and economy. Effective board cyber crisis preparation requires scenarios that reflect realistic attack patterns, potential business impacts, and available response options. The initiative recognizes that cyber incidents often escalate into business continuity crises that require executive leadership beyond technical response teams.
