"We need more people to come forward to share their expertise and experience. This practical guide to cybersecurity -- the first of its kind in Singapore -- is a good step in this direction, with invaluable lessons and insights from real-world experience. I trust this initiative by Palo Alto Networks will inspire others to follow in their footsteps." - Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Communications & Information and the Minister-in-charge of Cyber Security "To deal with the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, there is a need for close collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas among academia and industry, both local and foreign. Cybersecurity R&D does not involve just developing engineering solutions to difficult technical problems; emphasis must also be placed on research into policy, governance and legislation, which are equally essential... Collective defence is the key to creating a safer cyberspace." - David Koh, Chief Executive, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore "Boards of directors need to be more educated in the fast-rising risks of cyber threats so as to provide oversight and governance with management in cyber risk assessment. In the financial industry, regulators now require board members to undertake cyber security awareness training..." - Bill Chang, Chief Executive Officer, Group Enterprise, Singtel "The most sophisticated and advanced security technology in the world cannot guard you securely unless employees understand their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding sensitive data and protecting company resources. This involves establishing, and implementing practices and policies that promote security and training employees to identify and avoid risks." - Khoo Boon Hui, former INTERPOL President; retired Singapore Police Commissioner "Every organisation needs to evaluate the way cybersecurity is strategically managed and embedded into the business to enable the continued pursuit of its digitisation agenda." - Seah Kian Peng, Chief Executive Officer, NTUC FairPrice "Cybersecurity can support the goals of senior executives to keep the company running and profitable. Executive leadership must set organisational strategy that builds cybersecurity considerations into the business planning process. Toward that goal, technical and non-technical personnel should enter into a common lexicon to discuss how cyber is the vector where good and bad things happen and that there is no such thing as cyber risk, it is just risk to the business." - Sean Duca, Vice President, Regional Chief Security Officer, Palo Alto Networks To learn more about how Palo Alto Networks helps organisations prevent successful cyberattacks with its next-generation security platform, visit: To download the original U.S. edition of the guide published in partnership with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), visit: https://www.securityroundtable.org/the-book/ About Palo Alto Networks Palo Alto Networks is the next-generation security company, leading a new era in cybersecurity by safely enabling applications and preventing cyber breaches for tens of thousands of organizations worldwide.
