Cybersecurity: Emerging Issues, Trends, Technologies and Threats in 2015 and Beyond

This collection of short commentaries presents views on many of the on-going debates relating to cybersecurity policy. The authors include government practitioners and leading academics who addressed the Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS) workshop on “Cybersecurity: Emerging Issues, Trends, Technologies and Threats in 2015 and Beyond” on 20-21 July 2015. The workshop focused on the possible implications of these debates on countries like Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia/Asia Pacific region, particularly in terms of the regulatory, operational and governance domains. The quality of contributions at the workshop led to the decision to publish them here. These edited commentaries which are based on the workshop presentations have been expanded to provide greater depth to those arguments originally made in the presentations.
