Remembering Digital Defence this Total Defence Day

Feb 14, 2022

Just got a notification from SGSecure app. Reminds me that Digital Defence is part of Total Defence:

“Digital Defence is the new sixth pillar of Total Defence. The other five pillars of Total Defence are Military, Civil, Economic, Social and Psychological Defence. The heightened awareness of defence in the digital domain is critical for Singapore and Singaporeans in view of the increasing pace of global digitalisation.

Digital Defence – Be Secure, Alert, and Responsible Online– is a whole-of-nation effort to protect and defend ourselves and our nation online. It requires Singaporeans to:

a) practise good cybersecurity habits

b) guard against fake news and disinformation, and

c) consider the impact of our actions on the community.
