Singapore - Government to Raise Cybersecurity Labeling Requirements for Residential Routers

​The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) will work with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) to raise mandatory cybersecurity requirements for residential routers from Cybersecurity Labeling Scheme (CLS) Level 1 to Level 2 by 2027.

CSA will raise the mandatory cybersecurity requirements for routers to CLS Level 2 to better protect consumers from cyber threats. Under CLS Level 2 requirements, manufacturers need to ensure that residential routers incorporate stronger security measures such as secure communications, secure storage of sensitive data and robust authentication mechanisms to better protect users' data and privacy. These measures also reduce the risk of devices being compromised by malicious cyber actors.​
