-internet safety is GOOD-
I think that this step in terms of safety will be good for all internet users, for the individual and online business/service owners alike. More internet security and stability will cut down the threat currently posed to us by cyber terrorists and hackers. This in turn will be an attractive incentive for more service providers to mae the decision to set up base in Singapore. This bodes well for the economy in general because this will generate more jobs, generate more revenue, and overall increase the confidence that service providers have in terms of internet security in Singapore.
How does this cyber-threat monitoring centre work? If it monitors cyber traffic, does that mean it is just like what the Bush administration has set up in the United States where phone calls are monitored for suspicious activity? The good news for the internet user is NO, it is not an infringement on personal internet space where every single move you make on the internet is recorded and looked at. It only monitors activity that can be of threat to users, and this means that the system in general will be more secure, without invading personal privacy.
This National Cyber-threat Monitorng Centre will work hand in hand with other such centres around the world so that information regarding hackers, viruses, spam and other such internet threats are kept constantly upgraded and allowing the internet all over the world to be more secure and lowering the threat of potential terrorist activities, spam and so on. --DE
