According to the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, insufficient knowledge and experience are the top barrier to the adoption of cybersecurity measures amongst organizations here. Other hurdles included lack of resources, low return-of-investment concerns, and budget constraints.

Amid the surge in phishing scams and ransomware attacks, is the confidence among Singapore organizations unwarranted?

Daniel Chu, Vice President of Systems Engineering, APJ, at ExtraHop weighs in.

Why It Matters: Are organizations in Singapore confident in managing cyber risks?

Singapore shares moved higher today as investors looked ahead to the latest Federal Reserve rate decision due overnight.

The Straits Times Index was up 1.18% at 4,993.97 points at 2.06pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.18B seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch for today, we have Singtel, after a second disruption of mobile services in recent days hit some of the telco’s users yesterday.

Elsewhere, from how Malaysia’s ringgit rose to the strongest versus the Singapore dollar in five years as higher energy prices supported the net energy exporter, to how Nvidia has reportedly won Beijing’s approval to sell its second-most powerful AI chips to China, more international and corporate headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Jeremy Tan, CEO, Tiger Fund Management.

A growing divide has emerged among Western allies after President Donald Trump urged partners to send warships to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Countries including Germany, Spain and Italy have declined, citing legal limitations, the lack of consultation before the strikes on Iran, and the absence of a mandate from organisations such as NATO, the EU or the United Nations.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Leon Goldsmith, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Middle East Politics at the University of Otago, to examine why some US allies are reluctant to get involved, what this reveals about tensions within Western alliances, and what it could mean for efforts to secure one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.
