🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech?
We’ve heard about gigabytes and terabytes.. But have you heard about yottabytes? 🤔
The yottabyte is a measure used to denote the size of data. In fact, it is the largest unit approved as a standard size by the International System of Units (SI).
For reference, 1 yottabyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes!
It’s so big that there’s currently nothing big enough to measure in yottabytes 😲
What other cool tech facts do you know? Share with our community here.

🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech?
In our finale of this series, we share more about Zero Trust!
It refers to a new cybersecurity model that focuses on applying Zero Trust principle for continuous security posture validation. This approach assumes that all activities are “untrusted” even if they appear to be from legitimate government users. We practise this to protect government applications and keep information technology systems safe, access is permitted on a time-limited basis after coherent authentication and authorisation checks.
At GovTech, the Government Zero Trust Architecture (GovZTA) acts as a framework for the Singapore Government to implement Zero Trust.
