Singapore’s top performers in cybersecurity ratings, with 100% A grades, were Agriculture, Energy, and Healthcare, the report added. The Financial sector followed closely, with 90% rated A, outperforming Europe’s 39%. Still, none of these A graders could actually avoid supply chain entanglements. The technology sector reported the highest direct breach rate of 40%, compared to an average of 5% across the board.
The research accounted for a period from 24th June 2024 to 24th June 2025, examining the cyber performance of the top 100 publicly traded companies in Singapore, which, although not directly named in the report, likely includes major players like DBS Group Holdings, Sea Ltd, OCBC Bank, Singtel, and United Overseas Bank (UOB).
Singapore faces targeted threats
Beyond statistical exposure, Singapore is also facing targeted campaigns against its critical infrastructure. One such operation involves China-linked threat group UNC3886, recently observed exploiting vulnerabilities in Juniper (Junos OS) routers to infiltrate telecom and service provider networks.
Gilad Maizles, threat researcher at SecurityScorecard, said, “The campaign appears to be operated through a China-nexus ORB network known as the GobRAT ORB.” Operational Relay Box (ORB) networks act as stealthy infrastructure layers, allowing attackers to relay malicious activity through a mesh of compromised systems, making the attacks persistent and evasive.
