The first dedicated cybersecurity framework in Singapore has been passed by the country's parliament.

The Cybersecurity Act (87-page / 251KB PDF) will apply to organisations that are designated as operating 'critical information infrastructure' (CII) in Singapore. Organisations in the energy, telecoms, water, health, banking, transport and media sectors are among those that could be impacted.

A new commissioner of cybersecurity in Singapore will be tasked with selecting the specific organisations to designate as CII owners subject to the new regime. Organisations will be able to raise an appeal against the designations to Singapore government ministers.
