Serious UN Says Zikapore's Approach To Cybersecurity Is Near-Perfect! PAP! PAP!

GENEVA (REUTERS) - Singapore has a near-perfect approach to cybersecurity, but many other rich countries have holes in their defences and some poorer countries are showing them how it should be done, a UN survey showed on Wednesday.

Wealth breeds cybercrime, but it does not automatically generate cybersecurity, so governments need to make sure they are prepared, the survey by the UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU) said. "There is still an evident gap between countries in terms of awareness, understanding, knowledge and finally capacity to deploy the proper strategies, capabilities and programmes," the survey said.

The United States came second in the ITU's Global Cybersecurity Index, but many of the other highly rated countries were small or developing economies.


The rest of the top 10 were Malaysia, Oman, Estonia, Mauritius, Australia, Georgia, France and Canada. Russia ranked 11th. India was 25th, one place ahead of Germany, and China was 34th.


The ranking was based on countries' legal, technical and organisational institutions, their educational and research capabilities, and their cooperation in information-sharing networks. "Cybersecurity is an ecosystem where laws, organizations, skills, cooperation and technical implementation need to be in harmony to be most effective," the survey said. "The degree of interconnectivity of networks implies that anything and everything can be exposed, and everything from national critical infrastructure to our basic human rights can be compromised." The crucial first step was to adopt a national security strategy, but 50 percent of countries have none, the survey said.

Among the countries that ranked higher than their economic development was 57th-placed North Korea, which was let down by its "cooperation" score but still ranked three spots ahead of much-richer Spain.


The smallest rich countries also scored badly - Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and San Marino were all well down the second half of the table. The Vatican ranked 186th out of 195 countries in the survey.

But no country did worse than Equatorial Guinea, which scored zero.

Oh no.

This is an invitation to hackers worldwide to come and test their skills.

Expect more security breaches in the next few months.

you asshole…are you surfing the net at work?

allowing viruses to breach our defences?

My office also has a near perfect approach to cyber-security. I've hired the best minds from India's IIT to ensure that.

Oh no.

This is an invitation to hackers worldwide to come and test their skills.

Expect more security breaches in the next few months.

They can try, but they will fail. Why do you think we signed CECA with India? They have an endless supply of cheap and good keling programmers who will keep us safe. Not even Tony Stark's Jarvis computer can hack us.

sg goes up a notch in cybersecurity by preventing civil serpents and gov workers from accessing the internet at their work computers. that kills two birdies with one stone: shut down the number of open ports to the internet and stopping gov workers from surfing the web, chatting cock, posting crap, browsing questionable sites and exposing themselves to malware. now we know what sinkie civil serpents are doing during office hours. 69% of the time shake legs jiakliaobi talk cock sing song.
