Role of SBF

SBF partners with organisations across both private and public sectors to help businesses address cybersecurity concerns that include prevention, detection, response, and recovery to ensure businesses can stay secure, remain competitive in a constantly evolving threat environment. SBF further support businesses to raise their cybersecurity posture towards aligning and attaining CSA’s cyber essentials and cyber trust marks that can enhance customer confidence and trust in the business's ability to protect sensitive information.

Enhancing Vigilance

Enhancing vigilance is essential to defending against cyber threats, and phishing exercises play a crucial role in this effort. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between SBF and the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), SBF is dedicated to supporting businesses in Singapore to bolster their resilience against cyber threats, with one key initiative being a phishing exercise designed to engage businesses across various sectors and sizes in Singapore. This tabletop digital exercise aims to simulate real-world cyber-attacks, providing businesses with the opportunity to guide their employees on identifying suspicious emails, assessing security systems, reviewing vulnerabilities, and improving incident response strategies.

Identifying Vulnerabilities

SBF offers targeted cybersecurity workshops on risk scanning to help businesses identify and address vulnerabilities in their outward facing digital assets. These workshops raise awareness of potential security gaps and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen overall security. By improving defences against cyber threats targeting such digital assets, businesses can enhance protection, boost employee awareness of cybersecurity risks, and better prepare to respond to and manage cyberattacks and security incidents. Ultimately, these efforts help organisations build a more resilient cybersecurity posture.

Continuing Impact and Ensuring Continuity

By strengthening incident response capabilities, businesses can swiftly contain and mitigate the operational, financial, and reputational impact of cybersecurity breaches, ensuring rapid recovery with minimal disruption. SBF organises tailored workshops and tabletop exercises centred around incident response, designed to equip teams with the knowledge and confidence to act decisively. Additionally, businesses will learn to continuously refine their strategies, staying ahead of evolving cyber threats. With a proactive and adaptive response framework in place, businesses can maintain operations with minimal impact, safeguarding both productivity and reputation.
