2013 - to what extent is technology a useful tool for governments...


problem



Not a tool but an enemy they have to learn to defend 

themselves against

attempts to bring down government websites, and the

 defacement of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and Istana 

webpages. 


solution


WORK is under way to tighten Singapore's defence against 

attacks that aim to disable government websites


how



This will be done by providing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services.
DDoS attacks work by having thousands of infected computers accessing and overwhelming a targeted site, causing a huge spike in traffic.
DDoS mitigation is a set of techniques that differentiates genuine incoming traffic from that sent by hijacked, infected browsers, so that services to genuine users will not be denied.
