Security at All Times
Past IMF/WB events witnessed protests by anti‐globalization activists attempting to
spread their ideology through various tactics ranging from physical blockage of the
event venue to cyber attacks. Activists could attempt to create cyber disruptions by
targeting Singapore government’s web presence in order to discredit the event and
embarrass the organizing country. In view of this risk, one of the requirements for the CI
was to set up a computer security monitoring service for the IS applications and the
event website. This was to ensure that any computer threat to these systems was
quickly identified and addressed. The onus was on the CI to ensure the smooth and
secure operation of all IT infrastructure and services at all times, without any
compromise to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the systems and data.
