Jaga

Jaga is a mascot introduced by Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) to promote cybersecurity awareness and encourage safe digital practices among Singaporeans, especially public officers. The name “Jaga” is derived from the Malay word for “guard” or “watch over,” reflecting the mascot’s role in protecting users from cyber threats.

Jaga has mouse cursors for three of Jaga’s quill tips, as well as bulging eyes and a wide smile. Besides being featured on GovTech’s cybersecurity content on social media, the hedgehog mascot also had plushies and even a 3D trophy pointing guns made from keyboards.

In 2024, GovTech launched the Let’s Jaga Together campaign, which included a short animated video introducing Jaga’s enemies - Kingphisher the Cybercriminal Mastermind and Phishy Pigeons the Cyber Threat Actors.
