Singapore is taking significant strides in the cybersecurity sector, with three local companies—cloudsineAI, Cyber Sierra, and pQCee—leading the charge against emerging global threats. As cybercrime costs are projected to soar to $105t by 2025, these firms are developing advanced solutions to address vulnerabilities that traditional cybersecurity measures struggle to cover.
cloudsineAI has introduced a GenAI firewall designed to protect against threats specific to generative AI applications. This firewall employs a unique ShieldPrompt multilayered defence, scanning both user inputs and AI-generated outputs to prevent harmful content. Cyber Sierra, meanwhile, offers an AI-driven platform that integrates Cyber Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) with Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), enhancing organisational compliance and risk management. pQCee’s SafeQuard tool provides quantum-safe encryption, safeguarding sensitive data against future quantum decryption threats.
These innovations are supported by the CyberSG Talent Innovation and Growth Collaboration Centre, a $15m initiative by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). The Centre aims to bolster Singapore’s position as a cybersecurity hub and will showcase these solutions at the RSA Conference 2025 in San Francisco.
Associate Professor Benjamin Tee of NUS Enterprise highlighted the Centre’s role in driving global cybersecurity innovation, stating, “We support companies developing advanced digital infrastructure protection, strengthening our nation’s defences whilst empowering collaborative global efforts against a rising tide of cyberattacks.”
As Singapore positions itself as a strategic gateway to Asia’s digital economy, these pioneering efforts underscore its commitment to addressing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats.
