Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) 2025

Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) 2025 will take place from 20 to 23 October at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre. Organised by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, the event brings together government officials, industry representatives, technical experts, and civil society to discuss cybersecurity policy, operations, and emerging technologies.

The week combines high-level policy dialogue with practical and technical engagement. Diplomatic tracks include ministerial meetings such as the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity and regional coordination platforms on cybercrime and cyber norms. In parallel, operational activities such as the ASEAN CERT Incident Drill and SPIRITCYBER Hackathon provide hands-on collaboration between incident response teams and technical communities.

The GovWare Conference & Exhibition, running throughout the week, serves as the main industry and innovation hub, showcasing cybersecurity solutions and hosting workforce and skills development sessions.

Artificial intelligence is a recurring theme across the agenda, with panels examining AI-enabled cyber operations, accountability frameworks, and risks associated with autonomous systems. Other discussions will address quantum readiness, smart city security, subsea cable resilience, and public-private cooperation against scams and ransomware.

The programme also includes youth and diversity tracks, including the YouthTechSG Dialogue and Women in Cyber sessions. The week will conclude with the International Counter Ransomware Initiative Summit, held by invitation.
