“Build on Singapore 2019” Hackathon

We are truly proud of our NUS students who walked away with the top 3 prizes in the “Build on Singapore 2019” hackathon yesterday! NUS IT, together with AWS and Govtech, organised this inaugural event which saw students from post-secondary institutions participating in this competition. This is a nation-wide initiative from NUS IT to bring the world to the classroom for students, and lead in harnessing IT in higher education.

Bug Bounty Challenge 2019

We’re honoured that NUS is the first university in Singapore to actively incentivise its own students to hone their hacking skills through a bug bounty challenge. We’re also the only university outside of the US that HackerOne has partnered with, to empower students to secure the campus.

First IHL in Singapore to implement Facial Recognition Door Access (FRDA) on campus

In Sep 2018, we became the first institute of higher learning (IHL) in Singapore to implement Facial Recognition Door Access (FRDA) on campus. This solution was rolled-out to our i4.0 building, a 6-storey building home to NUS Smart Nation Research Cluster. In addition, FRDA was also implemented in 2 levels of University Hall, where our senior management offices are situated. In all, FRDA has been deployed to 38 doors!
