πŸ“’ #SmartNation and #DigitalGovernment #IndustryBriefing 2023

Last week, we held our annual Industry Briefing. The hybrid event connected the public sector with ICT partners and showcased partnership opportunities and key ICT projects. More than 500 industry partners joined us in person while over a thousand caught the event online.

The Singapore Government is always eager to co-create better digital services to improve the lives of citizens and support businesses.

Here's a recap of the key highlights, from how the government is continuing to push ahead with the cloud strategy and finding more ways to work closely with the ICT industry, to the introduction of sustainability criteria in the evaluation of ICT contracts.

🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech ?

Benefits of using gateways include:
βœ… Connectivity - enables communication and data transfer between networks
βœ… Security - prevents unauthorised entry with multiple layers or protection
βœ… Filtering - regulates collisions and broadcasts domain
βœ… Protocol Conversion - converts the data format to match the architecture requirements of the destination

🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech ?

We use it daily without really noticing it πŸ‘€ But what actually is HTTP? Is HTTPS its plural form? πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a medium that lets your browser communicate with servers through the exchange of data.

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of that, powered by Transport Layer Security (TLS), that – you probably guessed it by now – transfers data more securely by encrypting it. This makes HTTPS websites a lot less vulnerable to hackers!

Give this a πŸ‘ if you learnt something new today!

πŸ“’ PSA: Download Government apps only from their official app stores, e.g. Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

⚠️ Installing apps in other file formats, like Android Package Kits or iOS App Store Package, from third-party websites puts you at risk of viruses and malware attacks.

Malicious actors can modify the installation files to gain unauthorised access to your data, spy on your activities or even steal your passwords.

These sites are common and malicious actors can strike anytime, so stay vigilant! πŸ‘€
