Comprehensive Ransomware Mitigation Strategies for Singapore

This whitepaper has been designed for Singaporean firms and explains how they can act on recommendations from the Singapore Counter-Ransomware Task Force (CRTF) that was convened, by the government, to tackle the growing ransomware issues facing the country.

The Singapore Counter-Ransomware Task Force (CRTF) aims to muster Government agencies across relevant domains, capabilities, and operational plans to strengthen Singapore’s counter-ransomware efforts and put Singapore in a better position to push for international action against the global ransomware threat. The guidelines put forth can also be leveraged as best practices for private organisations operating in Singapore and the region.

This whitepaper includes additional recommendations for public and private organisations on how to best protect against various cyber threats, with a focus on the findings and recommendations of the taskforce’s report.

By developing the right capabilities and practices, government and private organisations significantly strengthen their security posture around data protection and disaster recovery (DR), and greatly reduce attack vectors from both internal and external threats.

In addition, this whitepaper will cover several other aspects that make up hardened backup solutions.
