Governments are increasingly deploying web and mobile applications to serve their citizens more efficiently. However, these applications can be compromised to access sensitive data. Thus, cybersecurity software solutions in the government and public sector are critical. The rise of e-governance has also led the government to focus on cybersecurity.

Cisco Systems, Inc. is a global enterprise that deals in high-technology products & services, such as networking hardware and telecommunications equipment. It is recognized by 360Quadrants as a visionary leader for its reputed cybersecurity portfolio. Like most visionary leaders, Cisco also has strong business strategies.

Recently, Cisco entered into a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) with the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). This MOC was signed in order to formalize a partnership in the cybersecurity domain, which will see the creation of a framework for cooperation in capability development and information sharing. This MOC is one of the many collaborations between Cisco and CSA—past partnerships include training programs under Singapore’s ASEAN cyber capacity initiative.

As per the terms of this MOC, Cisco and CSA will enhance information sharing capabilities on the cyber threat landscape as well as boost efforts to exchange ideas and nurture talent. The duration of this MOC is two years. The signing formally took place at Cisco’s San Jose, California headquarters. Singapore is a pioneer in digital adoption, and the continued technological advancements will create major opportunities for the country. In order to exploit the massive potential of its digital landscape, Singapore must tackle evolving cybersecurity threats. Through this MOC with Cisco, the country will be able to further this vision through the right combination of people and technology.

360Quadrants also lists competitors of Cisco in the cybersecurity software in government and public sector space.
