Cybersecurity

Secure our cyberspace to enable Singapore to be a safe and secure Smart Nation.

As Singapore harnesses technology to improve lives and livelihoods for all, our plans must be built on a strong foundation of cybersecurity. In cybersecurity, you will hunt for cyber threats, investigate breaches and fortify our cyberspace and defence systems to build a resilient and trusted cyber environment. The work will never be mundane in this challenging and fast-moving environment.

There are career opportunities in incident response, threat hunting, penetration testing, research and development in new technologies and systems. Be involved in driving Singapore’s cyber and digital security diplomacy efforts internationally, and the exciting work in other cybersecurity-related roles.

Be our next generation of cybersecurity leaders. Join us to shape, transform and safeguard our cyber landscape.

“A good cyber defence is proactive: it requires getting the right intelligence to stay one step ahead of the threat actors, to keep up with the fast-evolving cyber landscape. Leading a Security Operations Centre, I supervise multiple teams in looking actively for cyber threats within the SAF’s warfighting network. The challenging and dynamic nature of my work means that there is never a dull moment.”

Peh Wei Ting, Jeslyn
Senior Engineer, Cybersecurity Programme Centre, DSTA
Joined in 2021

“I strengthen the cybersecurity of MINDEF and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), by performing vulnerability analysis of related software. I analyse tools and templates used to set up cloud systems — such as the workings of Infrastructure as Cloud (IaC) — making them secure, efficient, and consistent. I also work with Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to address the shortcomings in their tools in meeting our deployment needs. It’s meaningful to know my efforts make cloud systems more secure and reliable for our users.”
