About SICW
Organised by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), the Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) is the Asia-Pacific’s most established cybersecurity event. CSA is Singapore’s national authority for cybersecurity and plays a pivotal role in Singapore’s Smart Nation and digital economy ambitions.
The ninth edition of the SICW took place from 14 to 17 October 2024, at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore. Geopolitical and economic contestations, supply chain vulnerabilities and increasing pressures on the democratic process have impacted international security and stability. Under the theme of “Trust and Security in the Digital Era”, SICW 2024 drove critical conversations and partnerships to foster trust and enhance security in the digital and cyber domain, amid an increasingly fragmented global landscape.
The event brought together global policy makers, industry leaders and top academics from across the world to exchange best practices and strengthen international cooperation on topics ranging from harnessing digital opportunities and tackling cyber challenges, the evolution of cyberspace and cybersecurity policy, the implementation of cyber norms, as well as security in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) space.
Key SICW 2024 events included the SICW Summit, the SICW High-Level Panels: Opening Plenary, a series of SICW High-Level Panel Sessions focusing on diverse cybersecurity policy, operational, technical and diplomacy topics, as well as the SICW Women in Cyber plenary and International IoT Security Roundtable. Other various high-level events held on the sidelines included the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity (AMCC) and ASEAN Senior Officials Roundtable on Cybercrime.
The GovWare Conference and Exhibition 2024, the region’s premier cybersecurity trade show, returned alongside SICW with expert-led keynotes and cutting-edge tech showcases by global and local innovators. Highlights included the closed-door Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) Forums for senior leaders, vendors, and policymakers to tackle critical challenges in the FSI and Healthcare sectors, as well as the CII Innovation Showcases, featuring digital breakthroughs and cybersecurity strategies driving innovation across the FSI, Healthcare, and Energy sectors.
