“Against a backdrop of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, it is imperative that we all come together to fight against cyber threats as well as contribute to the building of a strong and trusted economy for Singapore. Today, CSA is proud to celebrate the incredible work of all our nominees who, in various ways, gave Singapore’s cybersecurity push a leg up despite these challenging times. With the newly launched SG Cyber Talent Development Fund, we hope to see more communities and organisations develop initiatives to grow the cybersecurity ecosystem further and contribute towards securing our digital future.”

- Mr David Koh, Commissioner of Cybersecurity and Chief Executive of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA)


“Covid has introduced a new norm which accelerated business activities towards digitalisation. With the increase in digitalisation, it magnifies the importance of having effective cybersecurity practices and measures to safeguard businesses and individuals from unethical hackers and to keep both personal and business-critical information safe. TCA aims to honour individuals and companies that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in cybersecurity initiatives. Ultimately, the awards recognise individuals and companies for their dedication in promoting a safer, more secure, and trusted cyberspace. All the nominees are important blocks in building a cyber resilient and robust cybersecurity ecosystem to support Singapore Smart Nation transformation. We believe that there are more companies and individuals who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes in contributing to the cybersecurity ecosystem and hope to encourage them to step forward and inspire others with their achievements.”

- Mr Johnny Kho, President of the Association of Information Security Professionals
