Papers by Benjamin Ang
- Get insights from the release of the "Guide to Securing Remote Access Software" by top agencies like NSA, CISA, FBI, MS-ISAC, and Israel National Cyber Directorate and learn best practices to mitigate malicious activities and fortify your cybersecurity measures.
- Learn about Accenture and Immersive Labs' collaborative efforts to fill 1 million entry-level cybersecurity jobs through a free upskilling program. Find out how they aim to bridge the global talent gap in this critical field
2.Malaysians' personal data is actively being sold on the dark web, with at least one advertisement from those with the information appearing every two days, suggesting lax data protection protocols among local companies. We also discuss the gaps in the legal frameworks across the region, that do not compel companies to report data breaches
3. APAC is facing a critical shortage of Cybersecurity talent. We discuss this and how you can upskill yourself to take advantage of this employment wave.
This document outlines the problem of digital exclusion in Singapore, defined as the lack of or suboptimal access to the internet be it due to (i) inability to acquire and maintain appropriate devices, (ii) inability to link to internet connections, (iii) not having essential online skills or (iv) a combination of any or all these factors. It identifies communities in Singapore that have experienced or are currently experiencing some form of digital exclusion and illustrates how the exclusion is felt at the ground level. These communities include low-income students, low-income adults, the elderly, and migrant workers. Put together by academics, social service agencies and volunteer groups that have been involved in bringing digital resources to needy communities during the Covid-19 pandemic (See Annex B for list of supporting agencies and persons), it highlights gaps, lessons and suggestions in equalizing access to the three necessary digital resources of (i) computing devices, (ii) internet connection, and (iii) digital literacy. These culminate in recommendations that aim for universal access, i.e. making digital access more automatic and affordable.
