Having a safe and secure cyber space is imperative for us to succeed in our Smart Nation journey. But how do we ensure a secure cyberspace? How do we play a part to co-create new ideas to attract more individuals to a cyber security career and help the community to be more aware of cyber security?

The SGfuture engagement series, a launchpad for Singaporeans to co-shape our collective future, was an ideal platform to bring cyber security enthusiasts together to discuss these challenges in cyber security and to co-create new ideas which Singaporeans can champion and support for the future.

Close to 40 students and young professionals participated in the engagement session organised by CSA titled The Future for You: Be a Cyber Security Champion. The session was held on 23 February 2016. Present at the session was Minister for Communications and Information and Minister-in-Charge of Cyber Security, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, who delivered the opening remarks. It was a stimulating discussion as the participants candidly shared their views and ideas on ways to enhance a cyber security career and raise cyber security awareness amongst the local community.
