Five years from now, cybersecurity will face greater challenges and even higher risks. Currently, the global cybersecurity penetration testing market is worth $4.1 billion, and experts predict it will increase at a strong annual rate of 13.1% until 2033, due to more challenging cyber attacks, broader cloud use, and stronger data privacy rules. Commonly seen in Singapore but happening elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region as well is a strong increase in the need for advanced testing like CREST penetration testing due to government support, increased digitalization, and the Smart Nation goal.
Data protection and security of their infrastructure are increasingly difficult tasks for Singapore’s public and private sectors. The introduction of CREST in Singapore with the Cyber Security Agency and the Association of Information Security Professionals opens the door to establishing regular, accepted standards for penetration testing worldwide.
