Singapore's upcoming cyber security legislation is intended to ensure that operators across industries take steps to secure critical information infrastructure and protect sensitive data, the government said.

 

The legislation isn't meant to target mobile app developers specifically and is in the early stages of development, according to a spokesman from the Ministry of Communications and Information. It is now preparing a Cybersecurity Act to be introduced in parliament next year.

 

Vivian Balakrishnan, minister-in-charge of Singapore's Smart Nation program, said in an interview last week the planned legislation would ensure the data that companies collect is safe from hackers.
