Singapore’s Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS) has launched a training command to help its personnel keep their skills current as technology and security threats change.

The DIS Training Command will provide career-long training, from foundational skills to advanced expertise and leadership development, across six domains: intelligence, cybersecurity, digital, C4, electronic protection and information defence. Existing institutions include the Imagery and Geospatial School and a new school for continuing education; further schools, including one focused on intelligence technology and analysis, are planned from 2027. Officials said its programmes will draw on real-world experience and lessons learned.
