SBI250737

Overview

Cybersecurity is no longer a peripheral issue; it is a top business priority. According to the Singapore Business Federation's (SBF) National Business Survey 2025, Annual Business Sentiments Edition, released on 27 November 2025, the combined concern over cybersecurity and data-privacy risks has soared to 36 per cent. This dramatic rise has displaced foreign workforce policies from the top five business concerns, underscoring the immediate need for robust digital defenses.

To meet this critical challenge, the SBF Business Institute, in collaboration with Mastercard, presents an unparalleled, hands-on cybersecurity training experience designed to fortify your business against these evolving digital threats.

Don't miss this opportunity to transform your cybersecurity strategy from a defense mechanism into a powerful driver for innovation and growth.
