Never trust, always verify: Why zero trust is essential for Singapore's cybersecurity
Singapore, a bustling digital and data hub, finds itself on the front lines of an escalating cyber battlefield. Recent announcements from Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam underscore the serious threats from cyberespionage groups like UNC3886 attacking critical information infrastructure. These are not your average opportunistic hackers. We are talking about sophisticated, well-resourced advanced persistent threat (APT) actors that gain unauthorised access to a computer network and target essential services. The intent is clear: espionage, disruption and undermining national security. So, how can nations defend against such formidable and constantly evolving adversaries in today's complex digital landscape? The answer lies in a fundamental shift in our cybersecurity philosophy: zero trust. Beyond the perimeter: why the old ways don't cut it anymore A decade or so ago, securing technology felt simpler. We relied on physical security, strong network perimeters, firewalls and basic identity management. Our applications were often monolithic, tucked safely behind these defences. But those days are long gone. Today, software development is all about distributed, cloud-native, microservices-based applications. We are 'gluing together' countless pieces of existing code, each with its own complex dependencies – forming the software supply chain, which typically encompasses all tools, libraries and processes used to develop and publish software. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up This interconnected nature vastly increases the potential attack surface of our critical systems. Every new component, configuration and connection becomes a potential doorway for attackers. It is no surprise then that we have seen a dramatic hike in common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) – publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities found in software or hardware that act as a standardised way to identify and catalogue security flaws. In the first seven months of 2025, almost 27,000 CVEs were reported – an average of 127 CVEs per day. While investments in cybersecurity spending are essential, vulnerability scanners only work against known threats. This leaves us acutely exposed to zero-day attacks like the infamous Log4Shell, which exploit previously unknown weaknesses and leave defenders no time to prepare a response. Even internal bad actors can pose a zero-day threat; true zero trust means verifying even code from 'the inside'. This increasing complexity, coupled with the sheer volume of new vulnerabilities, means configuration errors or omissions in our distributed cloud-native applications can easily introduce exploitable paths. In fact, SUSE's Securing the Cloud Apac 2024 report revealed that IT decision-makers in the Asia-Pacific region experienced an average of 2.6 cloud-related security incidents in the past year, and 64 per cent confirm an incident in the last 12 months. This includes threats ranging from artificial intelligence-powered cyberattacks to edge security breaches, all aiming to disrupt and exploit our cloud environments. This reality underscores the urgent need for a transformative approach. Zero trust, with its 'never trust, always verify' principle, is that transformation. Hidden weapons in our defence arsenal More than a buzzword, zero trust is a strategic approach amplified by modern cybersecurity features. Zero-day exploits: proactive runtime protection As we have seen, UNC3886 and similar APTs frequently leverage zero-day vulnerabilities. While we cannot always predict where the next zero-day attack will strike, zero trust's granular access controls and microsegmentation significantly limit an attacker's lateral movement after a breach. Cloud-native security solutions that protect applications from zero-day attacks at runtime are crucial. These solutions continuously monitor application behaviour, detecting anomalies and blocking malicious code even if it is present. They also halt unauthorised attempts at access and data exfiltration. This means threat actors are stopped dead in their tracks, even against unknown exploits like Log4Shell. Software bill of materials: knowing what exactly is in your software 'ingredients list' In today's interconnected software landscape, understanding what is inside our applications is paramount. A software bill of materials (SBOM) provides a detailed, itemised list of all components, libraries and dependencies used in a piece of software, much like ingredients on a food label. For zero trust, SBOMs are essential. They enable organisations to know precisely what they are deploying, allowing for continuous monitoring of known vulnerabilities within those components. This visibility is critical for identifying potential weak points in the software supply chain that attackers might exploit. By understanding the provenance – the origins and history – and composition of every software element, zero-trust principles can be applied more effectively, verifying the integrity of each component before it is granted access or permission to execute. SBOMs, therefore, become a foundational element for building trust in the software we consume and deploy, aligning perfectly with the never trust, always verify ethos by exposing hidden risks. Open source: transparency, agility and collaborative defence In the face of sophisticated nation-state adversaries, proprietary, black-box security solutions can be a disadvantage. This is where open source shines. Open-source software, by its very nature, is transparent. Its code is openly available for review by a global community of experts. This transparency leads to faster discovery of vulnerabilities, and patching. Open-source solutions are also adaptable to specific national security needs, allowing for rapid deployment of new defences against evolving threats, increasing overall security resilience. At the same time, it is crucial to acknowledge that while open source offers many benefits, it can also be a source of risk if not managed properly. Regular scanning for known vulnerabilities, diligent patching, and the careful selection of well-maintained and trusted open-source projects can help organisations guard against ever-evolving threats. Building a resilient digital Singapore Cyberattacks by groups like UNC3886 are a stark reminder that our digital defences must be as agile and sophisticated as the threats we face. Implementing a zero-trust architecture – bolstered by features like proactive runtime protection, verified SBOMs and the collaborative power of open source – is a pre-emptive advantage. It ensures that even if an adversary gains a foothold, their mission becomes infinitely harder – safeguarding vital infrastructure and preserving trust so that nations like Singapore can protect and advance their missions as secure digital hubs.

European Firm SUSE Introduces Sovereign Support Service
SUSE has unveiled its Sovereign Premium Support, a support service designed to meet stringent demands for digital sovereignty across the European Union. Named as such to reflect both its locality and commitment, the service offers EU-based support engineers and service managers, along with data storage confined to networks within the EU, guaranteeing compliance with regional regulations and data privacy expectations. Geopolitical shifts, evolving regulations and rising concerns over data control have pushed sovereign infrastructure into the mainstream of IT strategies across both public and private sectors. IDC research cited by SUSE indicates that over 80% of organisations in Europe are using or plan to implement sovereign cloud solutions by the end of 2025. Dirk‑Peter van Leeuwen, SUSE's CEO, said their company's long-standing European roots – with headquarters in Luxembourg and development centres in Germany and the Czech Republic – offer an advantage over non-EU providers and align with the growing need for in‑region control. 'Digital sovereignty has become a really hot topic… companies feel an increasing need to get things done in‑region within Europe, with less dependency on non‑European vendors,' he told The Register. ADVERTISEMENT The new support tiers – Silver, Gold and Platinum – promise varying degrees of access, from named support staff to 24/7 response times, on‑site days and encrypted data handling. EU‑based support personnel ensure that sensitive data, including system logs generated during incident resolution, never leave the jurisdiction and are encrypted end‑to‑end. Sectors such as defence, healthcare, finance and telecoms have been early adopters, with heightened oversight in areas like government and law enforcement, but the offering is aimed at a broader market. The Register reports that some customers are paying approximately 15% more for this enterprise-grade sovereignty support. This move positions SUSE as a strong European counterpart to American hyperscalers such as AWS and Microsoft, which have launched EU‑focused services, including AWS's new regional cloud and Microsoft's Data Boundary initiatives. SUSE, by contrast, offers an open‑source foundation with support designed and delivered from within Europe – an increasingly significant differentiator. Analysts view this as a wider trend. IDC's Rahiel Nasir classified 2025 as 'a watershed year' for digital sovereignty, noting interest spanning regulated and non‑regulated industries as geopolitical uncertainties intensify. Techzine describes the service as a strategic tool to accelerate the continent's adoption of sovereign solutions. Beyond data storage, SUSE emphasises that genuine sovereignty encompasses full control over personnel, operations and infrastructure. That is the 'entire IT stack', according to SUSE senior executives, rather than just keeping data local. The service offers named Premium Support Engineers and Service Delivery Managers, ensuring familiarity with each client's infrastructure and more proactive engagement. This approach reflects SUSE's core creed of being 'open by design, sovereign by choice', rooted in open‑source principles that facilitate transparency and avoid vendor lock‑in. The open‑source model underpins interoperability across diverse environments, while EU‑based support operations reinforce regional trust. While hyperscalers are responding with their own sovereignty services, SUSE's local‑first open‑source strategy may appeal more to organisations seeking avoidance of platform dependencies, particularly in regulated infrastructure. SuSE itself does not host its own cloud infrastructure, focusing instead on support and software layers. Early reaction from industry players like Fsas Technologies Europe underscores a shift in enterprise expectations. Udo Wuertz, CDO of the company, applauded SUSE's 'deep understanding of regional needs and now enhanced EU‑based support', saying it allows better alignment to customers' sovereignty demands. Market adoption now centres on whether customers will embrace the premium pricing in return for compliance, operational resilience and long‑term sovereignty. SUSE expresses confidence: this launch is an evolution of its three‑decade heritage in open source and regional presence.

Forging A Responsible, Secure Way Forward For Open-Source AI
Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen is the CEO of SUSE, a global leader in innovative, reliable and secure enterprise open source solutions. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, the focus is shifting from experimentation to execution. How do businesses harness AI's potential in ways that are practical, principled and at scale? The answer lies in an open approach. Organizations can achieve responsible, transparent and secure AI through open-source tools and open platforms that foster innovation without locking it behind proprietary walls. With large language models and other AI technologies evolving at lightning speed, agility and adaptability are essential—and an open, collaborative ecosystem can keep up. My conviction comes from observing previous technical revolutions that have moved from experimentation to scale. Large-scale adoption while keeping the pace of innovation only really happened when open source (and its community) was at its heart. Linux stands as a powerful testament to the value of open-source development. By making its code freely available, Linux invited a global community of developers to collaborate, test and innovate—resulting in one of the most secure and scalable operating systems in the world. Today, it runs everything from smartphones to supercomputers, proving that openness doesn't hinder progress—it accelerates it. Kubernetes is the backbone of modern cloud infrastructure. It enables scalable, vendor-neutral application deployments as well as open internet protocols, which enable the interoperable, decentralized growth of the internet. This proves that open standards can scale globally and empower billions without centralized control. As we chart the future of AI, embracing similar openness can ensure the technology benefits from collective expertise and serves the broader good. Understanding Open-Source AI Before diving into what an open approach to AI looks like in practice, we must first understand what 'open-source AI' really means. Defining it is a complex and evolving effort involving plenty of debate, but creating a standard is helpful for providing clear guidelines, promoting transparency and trust, and accelerating innovation and collaboration. One formal definition that has emerged comes from the Open Source Initiative (OSI): the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID), which is a work in progress that we endorse. At a high level, the OSAID defines open-source AI as an AI system that allows users to: • 'Use the system for any purpose and without having to ask for permission.' • 'Study how the system works and inspect its components.' • 'Modify the system for any purpose, including to change its output.' • 'Share the system for others to use with or without modifications, for any purpose.' I will be referencing the OSAID when discussing an open approach to AI. Ultimately, whichever definition you endorse, openness remains essential to building trust and driving AI progress. Building Blocks For Trustworthy And Open AI There are three cornerstones for a future where AI innovation is both fast-moving and fundamentally trustworthy: open datasets, open infrastructure and regulatory guardrails/legal frameworks. How to treat datasets used for training is a subject of debate because, unlike source code, data influences models through patterns and can include proprietary or sensitive information. Finding the right balance between openness and legal protections and practical restrictions is key. This is why the OSAID emphasizes making training data accessible to the public and ensuring transparency about all datasets and the process for cleaning and labeling them. Robust, open infrastructure is another critical factor for quick and secure GenAI deployments when security and observability are built into the platform. The benefits of this approach include flexibility and interoperability; applications can seamlessly integrate with a variety of technologies and platforms. Open infrastructure also allows for customization and avoids vendor lock-in. Organizations are under stricter scrutiny for their risk and security management, and that also applies to how they use AI. Regulatory guardrails and legal frameworks are essential to ensuring secure and responsible AI use against threats like data leakage, prompt injection attacks and modern manipulation—all of which can result in costly repercussions. How Businesses Can Adopt An Open Approach To AI In reality, most businesses can't achieve complete open source for AI use given legal and practical constraints like data privacy laws, intellectual property protection and the risk of misuse or security threats. Additionally, the complexity of scaling AI infrastructure and potential legal liability make companies cautious about releasing powerful models without safeguards. So what does an open approach to AI look like in practice? Leveraging the building blocks I mentioned earlier, let's look at some of the key implementation strategies: This first step is key to IP protection, as depending on the sensitivity of the information, different levels of openness may be applied. Your organization's guidelines for AI access and usage should prioritize data governance and security and proportion restrictions by risk level. Consider zero-trust security frameworks and conduct regular auditing and monitoring of AI systems using observability tools to detect and nip problems in the bud. Open weights refer to the final parameters of a trained AI model made publicly available. They differ from open-source AI in that they usually don't allow access to the model's architecture, training data and code. Since training AI models is a time-consuming, resource-intensive and expensive process, it's more realistic for most organizations to use, distribute and modify open weights instead of training a model from scratch. Open Source: The Future Of AI AI innovation and execution are moving at breakneck speed, but it requires an open approach to truly succeed through fostering transparency and trust and focusing on flexibility and security. Embracing open-source principles for AI models, data and infrastructure is key to unlocking AI's full potential while also ensuring it remains agile, trustworthy and, ultimately, beneficial for all.
