网络威胁日趋复杂，新加坡网络安全局设立全新的网络验证室，以便在发生网络攻击事件时，能迅速展开调查，并有所防御和应对。副总理兼国家安全统筹部长张志贤昨天在参观网络验证室后说，新加坡迈向智慧国时，将更紧密地与互联网挂钩，遭遇到的网络攻击可能随时打击我国。因此，新加坡网络安全局（Cyber Security Agency of Singapore，简称CSA）除了保障国家的关键系统，也需要在设计新系统时，优先把网络安全考虑在内。内政部长兼律政部长尚穆根上周说，伊国组织的势力已蔓延至邻国，而国内通过网络自我激进化的案例令人担忧。我国如今面对的恐怖袭击威胁层级已达到近年来的最高水平。张志贤说，网络安全的重要性涵盖多方面，不单是抵御恐怖分子可能利用互联网曝露的防卫缺口展开攻击，也因网络攻击可源自犯罪组织，甚至是那些想通过网络攻击，针对一些课题表态的恶意份子。他也强调，网络安全是新加坡非常重视的课题，所以政府会继续提高网安局的能力。去年4月1日投入运作的网安局新成立的网络验证室（Cyber Forensics Laboratory），除了能应对网络攻击，也能对手机和平板电脑等移动器材的系统进行分析，测出隐藏在电脑系统中的恶意软件（malware）等。网络验证室可同时容纳多达80名网安分析师，以应对在同时间爆发的多起网安事件。逾百名专业人士参与跨界网安演习张志贤与负责领导网安局的通讯及新闻部长雅国博士，昨天在参观网络验证室后，也视察在网安局展开的Cyber Star网安演习。这项演习是网安局首次举办，有超过100名来自银行及金融、政府部门、能源，以及资讯通信共四个关键领域的专业人士参与。雅国受访时说，在任何一个关键领域发生的网络攻击事件，可能波及其他领域，因此演习测试网安局迅速与其他领域分享关键信息的反应，以及跨领域专人如何互换信息等，确保所有关键领域都能及时防御。通讯及新闻部今年1月发表政府施政方针附录。雅国当时说，信息基础设施的网络安全极为重要，政府明年将提呈网络安全法案，以赋予网安局更大的执法权限。他昨天进一步说明，发生网络攻击时，网安局必须有权限立即采取行动，确保重要机构和系统保持完好。网安局也须有权限，指导不同关键领域在面对网络攻击时，有一定的应变能力。他希望明年初可提呈这项法案。网安局负责统筹各政府部门的网络安全事宜，以及监督能源、银行及金融、政府、医药、水源、资讯通信、陆路交通、海事、民航、保安和媒体这11个关键领域的网络安全。参与演习的资讯通信发展管理局网络安全司司长蔡景伦受访时说，网络世界有越来越多危险和怀有敌意的恶意分子，可能对多个关键领域同时展开攻击，因此，类似Cyber Star的演习让各领域专人有机会互相交流，熟悉互换信息的流程和系统，在面对攻击时，就能快速协调，做出应对威胁的举措。Get the full story from Lianhe ZaobaoImage: Category: NewsSingaporePublication Date: Wednesday, March 23, 2016 - 05:00Send to mobile app: Byline: 叶伟强
