SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 April 2025 – The global cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, with the annual cost of cybercrime projected to reach US$10.5 trillion by 2025, up from US$8 trillion in 2023¹. This sharp rise underscores the urgent need to address cyber risks, as malicious actors continue to exploit vulnerabilities across industries worldwide. In response, Singapore is accelerating the development of cybersecurity innovations, not only to protect its own infrastructure but also to address emerging risks globally.

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.

Debuting Singapore’s cybersecurity solutions at the RSA Conference 2025

JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 May 2025 – Ready, set, build! The most anticipated LEGO® school event in Asia is back—and it’s bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever. The LEGOLAND® Malaysia School Challenge 2025, organized in partnership with the Ministry of Education, kicks off its fourth edition with a mission to unlock the boundless creativity of students across the region.

(From left to right) Ms Stephane Thong, General Manager, Trip.com Malaysia, Ms Thila Munusamy, Director of Sales and Marketing, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, Mr Samuel Lee, Deputy Director General of the Malaysian Tourism Promotion Board, Mr Mohamad Zaidi Bin Ishak, Deputy Director of Sports, Co-Curricular and Arts Department, Ministry of Education Malaysia and Mr Cs Lim, Vice President, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort

Since its inception in 2022, the Challenge has become a regional phenomenon. Following record-breaking participation in 2024, this year promises an even more thrilling experience, packed with new features and prizes that spark imagination and ignite a passion for learning.

New Theme, New Thrills: “Build Your Dream Destination”
Now open to three age categories (7–9, 10–12, and 13–17), the 2025 edition challenges students to design their ideal travel destination using LEGO bricks. Whether it’s a futuristic underwater world, an island of imagination, or a dreamland among the stars, participants are encouraged to combine creativity, storytelling, and technical building skills to bring magical destinations to life.

What’s New in 2025?
Two major updates make this year’s Challenge truly unmissable:

Grand Prizes Go Global: Winners from the Primary and Secondary Categories will experience a trip to LEGOLAND Korea, while Junior Category champions will enjoy a getaway at LEGOLAND Malaysia.

Speed Building Showdown: For the first time, the finale will feature a high-energy Speed Building Challenge. The Top 5 finalist teams in each category will compete live in front of a judging panel and audience, racing against the clock to create an original LEGO build in just 45 minutes.

Each finalist team will also enjoy a 3D2N stay at LEGOLAND Hotel, receive exclusive LEGO trophies, exciting LEGO sets, and Annual Passes to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort.

Inspiring Young Innovators: A Story of Growth
Among the Challenge’s most inspiring alumni is Nathanael Yap, a three-time Grand Prize winner. At the launch event, he shared:

“Being part of the LEGOLAND School Challenge for three years in a row was honestly one of the best parts of my school life. Every year, I got to team up with friends, solve problems in creative ways, and build something we were proud of — brick by brick. It taught me how fun learning can be when you get to think outside the box.

Even though I’ve graduated and can’t take part anymore, the experience has stayed with me. As I look ahead to university and start thinking more seriously about my future, I realise how much the Challenge helped shape my interests — especially in areas like design, engineering, and creative thinking. I’m excited to see what this year’s participants will build, and I hope they take the chance to push themselves and discover what they’re capable of.”

His story reflects what the Challenge is all about – empowering young minds to explore, imagine, and create.

Shaping Future Creators, One Brick at a Time
Cs Lim, Vice President of LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, remarked, “The LEGOLAND School Challenge has always been more than just a competition. As an event centered around our LEGO DNA of learning through play, it helps cultivate essential skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and innovation in our future leaders. Since we expanded last year to include participation from schools across Asia, this has also become an avenue for cultural exchange for students and teachers alike. We look forward to welcoming more participants this year across the region and seeing their creativity unleashed.”

The 2025 Challenge is proudly supported by the Ministry of Education, Tourism Malaysia, Trip.com Group, and the LEGO Group—all sharing a common goal: to ignite the passions of the next generation of builders, dreamers, and doers.
