<p>There have been warnings of increased cyber threats globally arising from the recent cyber-attacks on Ukraine and the developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.</p>
<p>While there have not been reports of any threats to Singapore organisations in relation to the events in and around Ukraine, organisations are advised to take active steps to strengthen your cybersecurity posture, heighten vigilance,
and bolster your online defences to protect your organisation against possible cyber-attacks, such as web defacement, distributed denial of service (DDoS), and ransomware.</p>
<p><strong>Secure Your Systems and Network Infrastructure</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that multi-factor authentication is required for all remote/privileged/administrative access to the organisation's network</li>
<li>Update systems, applications and software to the latest version and download the latest security patches</li>
<li>Disable all ports and protocols that are not essential for business purposes</li>
<li>Install anti-virus software and keep the software (and its virus definition files) updated. Perform a scan of the systems and networks at least once a week and scan all received files</li>
<li>Implement strong access controls if using cloud services</li>
</ul>
<div>
<p><strong></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Monitor Network Connections and Review System Logs to Quickly Detect a Potential Intrusion</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Enable logging of system events to facilitate investigation of suspicious events or issues</li>
<li>Enable user access logging and consider using a Security Information and Event Management appliance (SIEM) for aggregation and monitoring of logs to maintain visibility even after logging periods</li>
<li>Actively review both Active Directory sign-in logs and unified audit logs for unusual activity</li>
<li>Closely monitor inbound and outbound network traffic for suspicious communications or data transmissions </li>
</ul>
<div>
<p><strong></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Prepare for Ransomware Attacks <br>
</strong>Organisations should be on the lookout for potential ransomware attacks which are one of the most common attacks conducted by threat actors. Falling victim to such attacks will adversely impact the operations and business
continuity of any organisation. To find out more about ransomware and how you can protect your organisation’s systems and data from the threat, read our full advisory
<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.csa.gov.sg/singcert/-/media/Singcert/PDFs/SingCERT-Advisory-Protect-Your-Systems-and-Data-from-Ransomware-Attacks.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Prepare Incident Response and Business Continuity Plans</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Back up data regularly and ensure that backups are isolated from network connections</li>
<li>Establish and validate an incident response and management plan</li>
<li>Ensure that critical business functions remain operable if the network becomes unavailable</li>
</ul>

While there have not been reports of any threats to Singapore organisations in relation to the events in and around Ukraine, organisations are advised to take active steps to strengthen your cybersecurity posture, heighten vigilance, and bolster your online defences to protect your organisation against possible cyber-attacks, such as web defacement, distributed denial of service (DDoS), and ransomware. Secure Your Systems and Network Infrastructure * Ensure that multi-factor authentication is required for all remote/privileged/administrative access to the organisation's network * Update systems, applications and software to the latest version and download the latest security patches * Disable all ports and protocols that are not essential for business purposes * Install anti-virus software and keep the software (and its virus definition files) updated. Perform a scan of the systems and networks at least once a week and scan all received files * Implement strong access controls if using cloud services Monitor Network Connections and Review System Logs to Quickly Detect a Potential Intrusion * Enable logging of system events to facilitate investigation of suspicious events or issues * Enable user access logging and consider using a Security Information and Event Management appliance (SIEM) for aggregation and monitoring of logs to maintain visibility even after logging periods * Actively review both Active Directory sign-in logs and unified audit logs for unusual activity * Closely monitor inbound and outbound network traffic for suspicious communications or data transmissions Prepare for Ransomware Attacks Organisations should be on the lookout for potential ransomware attacks which are one of the most common attacks conducted by threat actors. Falling victim to such attacks will adversely impact the operations and business continuity of any organisation. To find out more about ransomware and how you can protect your organisation’s systems and data from the threat, read our full advisory here Prepare Incident Response and Business Continuity Plans * Back up data regularly and ensure that backups are isolated from network connections * Establish and validate an incident response and management plan * Ensure that critical business functions remain operable if the network becomes unavailable Reporting a Compromise Singapore organisations who are affected by a cyber-attack or have evidence of any suspicious compromise of your networks should report to SingCERT. A report can be made via our Incident Reporting Form at https://go.gov.sg/singcert-incident-reporting-form References https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world/russian-forces-invade-ukraine-strikes-major-cities-2516296?cid=internal_app-web-view_app_24022022_cna https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/organisations-urged-to-bolster-defences https://www.ncsc.govt.nz/newsroom/gsa-2022-2940/ https://www.cisa.gov/shields-up CYBER SECURITY AGENCY OF SINGAPORE Who We Are Our Organisation Mission, Vision and Values Corporate Logo Contact Us News Press Releases News Articles Publications Speeches Legislation Cybersecurity Act Codes of Practice Forms Handbook Notices Supplementary References Whistleblowing Programmes Certification and Labelling Schemes CSAT Programme Cybersecurity Career Mentoring Programme Cybersecurity Co-innovation and Development Fund ICE71 PSG Cybersecurity Solutions SG Cyber Safe Seniors SG Cyber Safe Students SG Cyber Safe Programme SG Cyber Talent Careers Overview Working in CSA How We Recruit Job Opportunities Cybersecurity Development Programme (CSDP) Internships Scholarships SingCERT Gosafeonline * Contact Us * Feedback * FAQ * * * * * * Report Vulnerability * Privacy Statement * Terms of Use * Rate This Website * Sitemap © 2020, Government of Singapore Last Updated 27 Feb 2022
