Portfolios
Cyber Security
MCI and Cyber Security Agency (CSA) work with government agencies and private organisations to build resilient infrastructure, create a safe cyberspace, develop a vibrant cyber ecosystem and strengthen international partnerships.
Digital Defence
Digital Defence is one of the six pillars of Total Defence to guard against threats from the digital domain.
Digital Readiness
Comprising representatives from the public, private and people sectors, the digital readiness initiative aims to develop strategies and principles for building digital readiness for Singaporeans, with a particular emphasis on those who might be at risk of being excluded from opportunities in the digital future.
Infocomm Media
The convergence of infocomm and media has changed the way the infocomm and media sector is organised. MCI and IMDA work together to ensure our businesses and people seize opportunities in the infocomm and media sector and that the regulatory environment keep pace with the developments, remain conducive for businesses and protect consumers' interest.
Libraries
The National Library Board (NLB) runs 26 public libraries, the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) to serve all residents in Singapore.
Personal Data
MCI, through the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in IMDA, oversees and crafts policies to strengthen Singapore's personal data protection regime. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of data protection among Singaporeans and assist businesses in building up their data protection capacity.
Public Communications
MCI plays an important role in public communications. Through listening to citizens and explaining government policies, MCI ensures that Singaporeans are heard, connected and engaged as citizens of Singapore.
