MAS and Mastercard signs deal to bolster financial sector’s cyber resilience

The two parties aim to work together to formulate solutions that will help enhance cybersecurity.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Mastercard have teamed up to boost cooperation in cybersecurity.

The memorandum of understanding signed on 9 April 2024 aims to “strengthen cyber resilience in the financial services sector in Singapore,” the parties said in a joint statement.

Through this partnership, MAS and Mastercard said they will be able to cement their collaboration in terms of sharing information about cyber threat intelligence, analysing the latest risks affecting the sector to come up with possible actions, and conducting competence-building activities. 

“Synergising our resources and expertise, we will advance on our joint commitment towards securing the financial ecosystem and enhancing cyber resilience in Singapore and beyond,” said Ari Sarker, president for Asia Pacific at Mastercard.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
