The government is intending to send local cyber security personnel overseas to allow them to train in cyber security, according to the First Standing Committee of the Legislative Assembly (AL).
Last Friday, government representatives including Secretary for Security, Wong Sio Chak, met with the AL committee to discuss matters regarding the cyber security law.
According to Ho Ion Sang, chairman of the committee, the government has claimed that there is a massive shortage of talented personnel in cyber security. Furthermore, according to Ho, the government’s central recruitment of these professionals is also not optimal.
In the near future, the government will send civil servants to Singapore and Interpol to receive training.
The government believes that once the cyber security law is passed, more local youth will choose to undertake cyber security studies as there will be potential for development within that industry.
