Singapore cybersecurity companies pioneer AI and quantum computing solutions to combat global threats
Three homegrown companies, cloudsineAI, Cyber Sierra and pQCee, are leading this effort with specialized solutions to tackle some of the biggest threats today like GenAI-driven attacks2 and quantum decryption risks. These challenges remain difficult for traditional cybersecurity solutions to address. With 70 to 80 percent of existing tools being one-size-fits-all3, critical gaps in protection remain, leaving organizations vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated threats.
These Singapore-based innovators are supported by the US$15 million CyberSG Talent, Innovation, and Growth Collaboration Center, a joint initiative between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). By targeting high-impact, niche vulnerabilities, they help organizations worldwide stay ahead of emerging threats while ensuring the safe use of new technologies.
“Singapore’s CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth Collaboration Center, in conjunction with our National Cybersecurity R&D Program, aims to drive key innovations in the global cybersecurity landscape. We support companies developing advanced digital infrastructure protection, strengthening our nation’s defenses while empowering collaborative global efforts against a rising tide of cyberattacks, marked by a 30 percent increase in 2024,” said Associate Professor Benjamin Tee, Vice President (Ecosystem Building), NUS Enterprise.
cloudsineAI: Blocking malicious content in GenAI applications
As GenAI adoption rapidly increases, so do the risks they pose, from prompt injection to sensitive data leakage. According to the Big Four accounting firm Deloitte, it is expected that GenAI could enable fraud losses to reach $40 billion in the US by 20274. To address these emerging threats, cloudsineAI has launched a new GenAI firewall, built specifically to protect mission-critical GenAI applications. Unlike traditional firewalls that protect against standard network or web application threats, this solution is powered by its unique ShieldPrompt™ multi-layered defense that actively scans both user inputs and AI-generated outputs to prevent the injection and block harmful or sensitive content.
The GenAI firewall also complements any AI guardrails to provide an updated threat vector database, contextualized security controls and integration with other security tools such as SIEMs. This innovation ensures that organizations can safely and securely innovate with GenAI while mitigating advanced cyber threats.
Cyber Sierra: The AI platform with agentic infrastructure for comprehensive compliance and protection
Cyber Sierra’s AI platform and agentic infrastructure enables complete protection and compliance. By integrating Cyber Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) as well as Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), the architecture is built to meet the evolving demands of security and compliance teams. By harnessing intelligent automation and AI agents into human teams, Cyber Sierra is transforming how organizations detect risks, accelerate response times, while maintaining comprehensive compliance.
Cyber Sierra is also the first cybersecurity company in Southeast Asia to be recognized as a Sample Vendor in two key categories, Cyber GRC and CCM, in the Gartner® Hype Cycle for Cyber Risk Management 2024.
pQCee: Futureproofing data against quantum threats
SafeQuard by pQCee is a lightweight security tool that protects documents from the growing risks posed by quantum computers. Hackers are already stealing encrypted data today, with plans to decrypt it once powerful quantum computers become available. As this technology advances, sensitive documents stored now could be compromised in the future, making quantum-safe encryption a critical need today.
Fully compliant with security standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, SafeQuard safeguards the long-term confidentiality of high-value documents, protecting sensitive personal data and proprietary business information well into the quantum future.

AECOM supports CEDD and AFCD of HKSAR Government in launching Hong Kong’s first comprehensive nature-based solutions guidelines to advance sustainable urban development
Developed through multidisciplinary expertise in ecology, landscape architecture, engineering, climate resilience and urban planning, the HKNbSDG provides a practical blueprint for designing, implementing, sustainably managing, and evaluating NbS across diverse environmental contexts — from rivers and wetlands to coastlines and high-density urban districts.
Factoring in the characteristics of Hong Kong’s natural ecology and urban development, the HKNbSDG is built on three core principles that outline a holistic approach to promoting ecosystem diversity at multiple scales, embracing human-nature coexistence for mutual benefits, and improving resilience through NbS. It also includes a performance evaluation framework to support evidence-based decision-making and features local case studies, including Long Valley Nature Park and Tung Chung East Eco-shoreline.
“The HKNbSDG reflects our commitment to advancing nature‑positive design and supporting Hong Kong’s journey toward climate resilience and sustainable growth,” said Dr. Johnny Cheuk, senior vice president and Hong Kong executive leader at AECOM. “By integrating ecological science into design practice, we aim to empower practitioners to harness nature’s potential in building climate-resilient infrastructure.”
The HKNbSDG was officially launched at the Promulgation Ceremony held on March 3, 2026, at Long Valley Nature Park. The event was officiated by Miss. Diane Wong Shuk-han, JP, Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology; Mr. David Lam Chi-man, JP, Under Secretary for Development; Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head of Nature-based Solutions Centre of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); Ir Michael Fong Hok-shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development; and Mr. Mickey Lai Kin-ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation.
The ceremony featured an introduction to the HKNbSDG by Stephen Suen, director of landscape architecture at AECOM, followed by a panel discussion on building cross-sector partnerships to reverse nature and biodiversity loss through NbS.
Panelists included:
- Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head, Nature-based Solutions Centre, IUCN
- Ir. Michael Fong Hok‑shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development
- Mr. Mickey Lai Kin Ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
- Ms. Frances Chen, Director, Sustainability & Climate Change, North Asia, HSBC
- Mr. Benny Au, Senior Manager, Sustainable Development, Swire Properties Limited
The release of the HKNbSDG supports Hong Kong’s key policy commitments, including the Climate Action Plan 2050 and its biodiversity conservation targets, by providing a practical roadmap for enhancing urban resilience and expanding green infrastructure. This publication equips practitioners with essential tools — from integrating ecology into early planning to designing for multifunctional benefits — grounded in Hong Kong-specific experience. It also serves as a central resource for advancing the Northern Metropolis development strategy, where NbS is helping to drive urban-rural integration and foster the co-existence of urban development and ecological conservation.
The HKNbSDG forms part of AECOM’s broader mission to help cities adapt to climate risks while enhancing quality of life. By bringing together global best practices and local ecological insights, AECOM aims to strengthen industry-wide capability in implementing NbS at scale.
