Singapore to launch Cyber Resilience Centre in 2026

This week the ASD ACSC published its Annual Cyber Threat Report 2024-25. The report highlights an increased trend in cyber incidents which collectively suggest that the threat landscape is intensifying in frequency, sophistication, and consequence. Interestingly, there has been a shift in compromised assets, networks or infrastructure in this year's report compared to the 2023-2024 report where account compromises were more prevalent. This shows adversaries are evolving from targeting user credentials to compromising the underlying infrastructure itself signalling a maturing, more dangerous threat landscape that requires deeper system level defences. At Rhodium Solutions, we continue to partner closely with government agencies and private sector organisations to strengthen and secure their ICT infrastructure. Our focus is on helping clients build resilience against evolving cyber threats by aligning with frameworks such as the PSPF, ISM and more specifically the ACSC Essential Eight. In an environment where cyber threats are rising year-on-year, Rhodium Solutions remains committed to working collaboratively with industry and government to safeguard Australia’s digital ecosystem.

Singapore's New Digital Defence Hub: A Strategic Response to Rising Cyber Threats. On October 17, 2025, Singapore announced the establishment of a new Digital Defence Hub (DDH) within the Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies (CSIT). This initiative comes as a response to an alarming 400% increase in suspected advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks on critical information infrastructure from 2021 to 2024. The hub is designed to enhance cybersecurity for government services and critical sectors, deploying resources to counter sophisticated cyber threats linked to state-sponsored actors. Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam highlighted the urgency of this initiative, noting Singapore’s recent experience with an APT identified as UNC3886, which posed significant risks to national security. The establishment of the DDH marks a critical pivot in Singapore's national security strategy, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity as every sector increasingly relies on digital networks. The collaboration between various government agencies within this framework is pivotal for comprehensive threat assessment and incident response. Given the global interconnectedness of cyber threats, Singapore's proactive stance could serve as a model for other nations grappling with similar challenges. cyberinsight.cyzea.io

Canada’s cybersecurity landscape is accelerating, and so are the threats. As emerging technologies like AI and quantum continue to advance, they’re reshaping Canada’s digital landscape, introducing new considerations for cybersecurity. These are powerful tools that require built-in safeguards to avoid unintended risks. Security must be integrated from the ground up, not added as an afterthought. October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and TECHNATION’s Cybersecurity Taskforce (CTF) continues to lead the national conversation. This multi-sector council brings together experts across government and industry to tackle Canada’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges. For #CyberMonth2025, we’ll be sharing insights from our CTF members on how Canada can better anticipate, prepare for, and withstand cyber threats. Resilience isn’t just about defense - it’s about shaping a secure, adaptive digital future. We are honoured to open the month with insights from J.Paul Haynes, P.Eng., President & COO, and Chair of TECHNATION’s Cybersecurity Taskforce (CTF). His message underscores the importance of making cyber resilience a national priority and reminds us that vigilance must extend beyond October. 👉🏻 Learn more about the Cybersecurity Taskforce and its national impact here: https://bit.ly/3KtPGQK #CyberMonth2025 #GetCyberSafe | Get Cyber Safe

"The report identifies a 50% year-on-year rise in major incidents, marking the third consecutive year of increased cyber activity. Dr Richard Horne, Chief Executive of the NCSC, describes cybersecurity as “a matter of business survival and national resilience,” warning that every organisation must elevate cyber readiness to a board-level priority...." https://lnkd.in/ezefxru7

In an era where cyber threats are an ever-present concern, the emergence of the Phantom Taurus hacking group marks a significant escalation in the landscape of global cybersecurity. This group’s targeted approach towards established governments illustrates a growing trend where cybercriminals are shifting their focus from enterprises to public institutions. Such activities not only threaten national security but also challenge the resilience of our governmental frameworks and the trust of the citizens. Key takeaways from this situation highlight the necessity for enhanced cybersecurity protocols across all sectors, particularly those engaged with sensitive government data. As businesses face similar vulnerabilities, adopting a proactive cybersecurity strategy and fostering a culture of awareness becomes imperative. Organizations must remain vigilant, ensuring that they are not only compliant with existing regulations but also prepared for evolving threats. How can businesses better protect themselves against organized cyber groups like Phantom Taurus, and what role should collaboration between the private and public sectors play in strengthening our defenses?
