Strengthening Cyber-Security Defences

Two research Centres have been set up to look into designing privacy technologies that can protect data throughout its life cycle and separately, provide businesses with off-the-shelf solutions to keep their data private.

The Centres, at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), have been given $22 million in total. Their mandate: to keep private data private in the era of the Smart Nation. Both Centres were set up by the National Research Foundation Singapore.

The Strategic Centre for Research in Privacy-Preserving Technologies and Systems (SCRIPTS), based at NTU, will be led by Professor Lam Kwok Yan, programme chair (secure community) at NTU Graduate College.
