K Shanmugam, Singapore’s Coordinating Minister for National Security, launched the Singapore Cybersecurity Strategy 2026 on 13 October 2026 at the opening of the 11th Singapore International Cyber Week. The strategy, first launched in 2016 and refreshed in 2021, has four pillars and two enablers. Under its AI and quantum pillar the Government will use AI in cyber defence, building in-house capabilities and promoting AI-enabled cyber tools, and will publish guidance to help organisations adopt AI systems securely. It also commits the Government to help critical infrastructure owners defend against AI-enabled attacks and to work with major technology firms on AI-enabled cybersecurity.

Why it matters

Singapore’s national cyber defence will use AI, and operators of critical infrastructure will get government help against AI-enabled attacks.
