From AI to quantum solutions: Singapore showcases next-gen cybersecurity innovation at the RSA Conference 2025

Singapore made its national-level debut at RSAC 2025 with a dedicated Singapore Pavilion jointly organised by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre (The Centre), and SGTech . Held from 28 April to 1 May at the Moscone Centre in San Francisco, the conference brought together global cybersecurity leaders and innovators.

The Singapore Pavilion highlighted the nation’s growing role as a global cybersecurity hub and strategic gateway to Asia’s burgeoning S$10 billion digital economy. Six Singapore-based companies — cloudsineAI, Cyber Sierra, Cybernatics, Invisiron, pQCee and ST Engineering — showcased solutions designed to address some of today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges.

Among them, CloudsineAI and pQCee introduced specialised technologies tackling emerging threats such as GenAI-driven attacks and quantum decryption — threats that traditional cybersecurity tools struggle to address. Most existing tools still rely on broad, one-size-fits-all approaches that lack the precision needed for today’s evolving threat landscape. This leaves critical gaps in protection persist, which expose organisations to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.

The participating companies are supported by the Centre, a joint initiative between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) . The Centre aims to drive innovation and grow a vibrant cybersecurity ecosystem in Singapore and beyond.

"Singapore's CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth Collaboration Centre, in conjunction with our National Cybersecurity R&D Programme, aims to drive key innovations in the global cybersecurity landscape. We support companies developing advanced digital infrastructure protection, strengthening our nation’s defences while empowering collaborative global efforts against a rising tide of cyberattacks, marked by a 30 per cent increase in 2024," said Associate Professor Benjamin C.K. Tee , Vice President (Ecosystem Building), NUS Enterprise. 

As part of the week-long conference, the Centre also hosted the Singapore Networking Night on 30 April 2025, which brought together around 250 cybersecurity innovators, CISOs, investors, international start-ups, and Singapore ecosystem builders, including key government agencies. The event provided a valuable platform for start-ups to connect directly with CSA, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) , EDB Investments, and Enterprise Singapore . These agencies play a vital role in supporting business expansion into Singapore and the region, offering strategic insights, resources, and partnership opportunities.

The evening also featured a panel discussion on “Scaling Global Cybersecurity from the Red Dot”, with speakers Mr Kuan Seah CHUA , Deputy Commissioner of Cybersecurity and Deputy Chief Executive (Development), CSA; Ms Cheri L. , Chief Information Security Officer, Temasek International; and Mr Gene Yu , Co-founder & CEO, BlackPanda. The session was moderated by Mr Garrettson Blight , Vice President, Global Government Market, Booz Allen Hamilton, and explored how Singapore contributes to the global cybersecurity landscape and scales innovation from a small but highly connected nation.

cloudsineAI: Blocking malicious content in GenAI applications

CloudsineAI has launched a new GenAI firewall, built specifically to protect GenAI applications.Unlike traditional firewalls that defend against standard network or web application threats, this solution is powered by its unique ShieldPrompt™ multi-layered defence. It actively scans both user inputs and AI-generated outputs to prevent prompt injection — a cybersecurity threat where attackers craft malicious prompts to manipulate the behaviour of large language models — and to block harmful or sensitive content.

“In our recent survey of CIOs across Southeast Asia, the top GenAI security concerns were clear: regulatory and compliance challenges, data leakage, and malicious prompts. Our GenAI firewall is built to address exactly these risks, while also tackling emerging threats like hallucinations and toxic outputs,” said Mr Matthias Chin , cloudsineAI CEO.

pQCee: Futureproofing data against quantum threats

SafeQuard by pQCee is a lightweight security tool that protect documents against the future threats of quantum computing. Hackers are already stealing encrypted data today, with plans to decrypt it once powerful quantum computers become available. As this technology ,sensitive documents stored now could be compromised in the future, making quantum-safe encryption a critical need.

“As quantum computing advances, the threat to digital confidentiality becomes increasingly real. At pQCee, we believe the time to act is now. With SafeQuard, we are delivering quantum-safe protection today for the documents that matter tomorrow. Our work ensures that sensitive data — whether personal, corporate, or national — remains secure against the threats of a post-quantum world,” said Mr Teik Guan Tan , pQCee CEO.
