From 28 to 30 October 2025, the ASEAN Cybercrime Conference (ACC) 2025 was held at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. The ACC was organised by the Cybercrime Division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and supported by the Commercial Affairs Department and the Online Criminal Harms Act Office of the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
With this year’s theme being “Coming Together as One ASEAN – Fortifying Our Defences Against the Next Wave of Cyber Threats”, the conference brought together regional and international partners to strengthen partnerships and shape a collective response to the evolving cyber threat landscape.
Recognising the need for international collaboration and public-private partnerships to combat cybercrime, the SPF invited ASEAN member states, foreign law enforcement agencies, international organisations as well as private sector stakeholders to attend the conference.
The ACC highlighted the importance of strengthening operational capabilities and legal frameworks to enhance detection and disruption of cybercrime.
The three-day programme featured in-depth discussions on operational collaboration and success cases amongst law enforcement agencies from across the world. The programme also included technical insights by private-sector partners, as well as learning journeys to Microsoft Singapore and the SPF Anti-Scam Command (ASCom).
Focused sideline meetings also facilitated bilateral exchanges, case building and the sharing of operational insights. This reinforced working-level relationships and laid the groundwork for future cooperation among regional and international partners.
The SPF remains dedicated to working closely with global counterparts to combat cybercrime. Deputy Commissioner (Investigation & Intelligence) concurrent Director of CID, Deputy Commissioner of Police Zhang Weihan highlighted the importance of cross-border collaboration, stating: “Cybercrime threat actors take advantage of the borderless nature of the Internet to exploit victims and hide their tracks. It is only with strong international collaboration that law enforcement agencies can impose consequences on cybercrime actors and hit them where it hurts the most.”
