the @-WISE Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence in Singapore aims to grow and groom cybersecurity talents.
Plans for the cybersecurity platform were announced by partners Hong Kong-headquartered financial services group AMTD, the University of Waterloo, iQ4 and the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) at a virtual signing ceremony on Thursday.
The @-WISE Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence aims to raise the awareness of the importance of cybersecurity among digital platforms, fintechs, financial institutions, and other sectors in Singapore, the announcement said.
As part of the partnership, the platform will also grow and groom cybersecurity talents, as well as build a cybersecurity ecosystem in response to the escalating cybersecurity threats, ultimately helping to shape a cyber talent strategy that will contribute to Singapore’s Smart Nation vision.
Connecting Ecosystems
AMTD and SFA previously announced a strategic agreement to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in Singapore's fintech community, which builds on the two sides' work under the MAS-SFA-AMTD Solidarity Grant.
