Keeping Cyber Risks at Bay
Pervasive remote working arrangements and growing customer use of digital finance have amplified cyber and technology-related risks. MAS has since stepped up it's monitoring of the cyber threat landscape and issued advisories to financial institutions to ensure that their IT infrastructure is secure and resilient, as well as to adopt additional risk-mitigating measures and precautions.
MAS’ Cyber Research and Intelligence team scans the horizon and gathers intelligence from public, private and commercial sources to maintain visibility and situational awareness over the latest cyber threats confronting the financial sector. This is aided by our Cyber Threat Intelligence Management System, which automates the aggregation of all our intelligence feeds for pattern correlation and trend analysis and presents the curated information and insights to the analyst in a single pane of glass for further assessment.
Let’s hear from Charles Lim, Deputy Director, Technology & Cyber Risk Supervision to find out more about his role in conducting surveillance in the cyber landscape, and how he transited from the private sector to MAS.
