Singapore announces new national tool to protect users from scams and cyber threats

Singapore will develop a new national tool — the protective domain name service (PDNS) — to reduce the country’s exposure to phishing, scams, malware and other cyber threats, announced Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam on Tuesday (Oct 13). When someone tries to connect to an online domain which is known to be malicious, PDNS can stop the connection “before the threat reaches the user”, he said.

The government will also invest in the capability to evaluate various artificial intelligence (AI) models to boost its cyber defence instead of developing its own. #sgnews #singapore
