公务员们还是可以浏览网页,不过只能用自己的电脑或机构分发的设备.

Anthony James, chief marketing officer at cyber security company TrapX Security, recalled one case where an attacker was able to steal data from a law enforcement client after an employee connected his laptop to two supposedly separated networks. "Human decisions and related policy gaps are the number one cause of failure for this strategy," he said.

网络安全公司TrapX Security的总经理安东尼•詹姆斯回忆起曾经有过这样一个案件:一个执法机关的员工将他的笔记本连接到两个应该毫无关联的网络后,黑客成功偷出了执法机关客户的资料和数据.他说:"人们的决定及相关的政策漏洞是此项策略失败的首要原因."

Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said it had worked with agencies on managing the changes "to ensure a smooth transition" and was "exploring innovative work solutions to ensure work processes remain efficient".

新加坡资讯通信发展管理局表示他们已经在与一些机构合作来应对这些变化"以确保平稳过渡".他们也在"探索新的解决方法,保证工作流程仍然高效."

One 23-year-old manager, who gave only her family name, Ng, said blocking web access would only harm productivity and may not stop attacks. "Information may leak through other means, so blocking the internet may not stop the inevitable from happening," she said.

一位23岁不愿透露名字的伍姓经理认为,封锁网络只会降低工作效率,也不能制止网络攻击.她说:"信息可能会从其他渠道泄露,所以封锁网络并不能防止这个不可避免的事情发生."

It's not just the critics who are watching closely.

关注此事的不只有批评人士.

Local media cited one Singapore minister as saying other governments, which he did not name, had expressed interest in its approach.

当地媒体援引新加坡一位部长的话,称还有别的国家政府对此政策有兴趣,不过他并没有说是哪个国家.

William Saito, a special cyber security adviser to the Japanese government, said some Japanese companies had cut internet access in the past year, usually after a breach. "They cut themselves off because they thought it was a good idea," he said, "but then they realised they were pretty dependent on this internet thing."

日本政府特别网络安全顾问威廉•西户说,去年有些日本公司切断了互联网连接,而这大多是在发生了信息泄露之后采取的措施.他说:"他们切断网络连接因为他们认为这是个好办法,但是之后,他们都意识到他们对互联网有多依赖."
