Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) has signed a multi-year agreement RSA, the security division of EMC, a manufacturer of systems for information management, to train Singaporean candidates for careers in cyber security and combat online fraud.

The EDB and RSA will seek qualified graduates from Singapore universities and existing cyber security professionals to take part in a multi-year residency and repatriation program designed to train candidates with the latest skills needed for cyber security and anti-fraud careers.

Selected candidates will be enrolled in one or two year residency training rotations at the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center (AFCC) in Israel through a new grant programme administered by the EDB. They will be working alongside RSA cyber security professionals and anti-fraud research analysts to gain skills required to fight cybercrime and cyber threats in areas such as:
• Phishing, pharming and Trojan attack detection, analysis and shutdown
• Ecommerce and online banking fraud
• Security management and monitoring
• Breach preparedness and incident response
• Governance, risk and compliance

The RSA will open the application process for the cyber security residency programme in Q3 2013.

In January 2013, RSA has rolled out a commercial crime protection policy which protects businesses against fraud, dishonesty or malicious acts.
