Since Sept 11, 2001, threats to security have increasingly become non-conventional, far different from the battles between the armies of two or more states. Similarly, cyberthreats have to be seen as the “new normal” today, said Graham Ong-Webb of NTU. “It is something we have to mitigate and reduce the impact of whenever it happens,” says Ong-Webb, who is a research fellow at NTU’s RSIS. “The SingHealth breach is not going to be the last incident, but this is not a reflection of poor cybersecurity in Singapore, although we need to make a significant improvement.”
