Singapore, UN extend cybersecurity programme for three years

The UN-Singapore Cyber Programme aims to address AI and online scams.

The UN-Singapore Cyber Programme (UNSCP), launched in 2018 for the cyber capacity of UN member states, has been extended for three years, starting 2026 to 2028.

The UNSCP aims to enable UN-member states to understand and address evolving cyber threats through international cooperation and intergovernmental discussions, the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore (CSA) said. 

“The renewed partnership will provide a stronger focus on the nexus between cybersecurity and emerging threats, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum, and online Scams,” the CSA said.

In the UNSCP extension, CSA and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs will discuss the threats with UN agencies, states, and other non-government stakeholders through workshops and an e-learning course, the agency said.

The programme also initiated the UN-Singapore Cyber Fellowship, which runs up to twice a year to gather national authorities and to enable them to discuss cybersecurity threats and craft national policy.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
