MAS announces $30 million Cybersecurity Capabilities Grant

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced the launch of a new Cybersecurity Capabilities Grant worth $30 million. This grant is aimed at strengthening the “cyber resilience of the financial sector” in Singapore.

The cybersecurity grant will also help recruit the local talent in cybersecurity.

The fund is capped at $3 million at maximum per institution.

The grant is funded under the Financial Sector Technology and Innovation Scheme (FSTI). The Chief Cybersecurity Officer of MAS, Mr. Tan Yeow Seng said: “The cyber threat landscape continues to evolve and we have to constantly strengthen our cyber capabilities.
