The DBS CyberWellness program comprises 10 online modules, each covering a different facet of cybersecurity, such as password protection, phishing, digital scams, physical security, and social media security. To make the training even more accessible for time-strapped employees, each module can be accessed on the go digitally through an e-learning platform, with all 10 modules taking no more than 120 minutes to complete.

At the end of the program, SMEs will be presented with recommendations for suitable cyber insurance and cybersecurity solutions. This enables SMEs to take immediate steps to protect their businesses from potential cyberattacks.

Going forward, DBS is looking to partner with Government agencies, industry associations, and like-minded corporate partners to scale the program so SMEs can continue to digitalise safely and securely.

StarHub was recently introduced as a program partner for DBS CyberWellness, and will provide participating SMEs with a complimentary two-month trial of their hardware-free, plug-and-play cybersecurity solution 'Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) for SME'; enabling SMEs to gain a business-wide defence against cyber threats.
