Supported by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore and part of the renowned Singapore International Cyber Week, GovWare 2025 confronts the core issues of modern cyber security challenges head-on. This year’s theme, “Cyberspace: Of Starbursts, Black Holes, and Last Frontiers”, takes inspiration from science’s enduring pursuit: to probe the unknown, to dissect complexity and to expand the boundaries of knowledge.
Through thought-provoking presentations, interactive panels, innovation showcases and networking opportunities, attendees will engage with cutting-edge ideas and collaborate on shaping the future of cyber security.
Come and see us on stand F22 to learn more about how we are addressing the most critical cyber needs of governments and businesses across the globe.
Geopolitics and the Weaponisation of Critical Infrastructure
Speaker: Miriam Howe, Head of International Consulting, BAE Systems Digital Intelligence
Dates & time: 4:00pm – 4:30pm Tuesday 21st October
Governments and businesses face a geopolitical landscape that has rarely been more complex. Within it, the tech sector sits at an intricate interplay of heightened tensions, where technology influences geopolitics and vice versa. Malicious activities by state and non-state actors in cyberspace pose an ongoing threat to global peace, stability and security. With technical capabilities advancing at pace, enabled by hyperscale compute, data and AI, cyber is an attractive domain for those looking to cause disruption or harm. And increasingly, threat actors are interconnected by dark markets and aligned incentives.
The threat is most acute for CNI, where cyber attacks can cause harm to society, disrupt global supply chains and undermine national security. In the UK, a new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will aim to mitigate the threat, but will it be enough? This session provides insights into the threat facing CNI (with examples) and how nations can build a cyber resilient foundation.
