StarHub's cybersecurity revenue grew 79% in 2019

Ensign InfoSecurity's profitability could be affected by the pandemic.

StarHub's cybersecurity business, Ensign InfoSecurity, saw a 79% revenue growth with a full-year turnover of $145.7m in 2019, according to the company's annual general meeting. However, the unit also registered losses of up to $21.8m over the same period.

StarHub says its profitability this year could take a hit from the pandemic, which has led to cautious corporate spending as well as project and tender delays. StarHub is said to be working to grow its cybersecurity arm's top and bottom lines.

The telco also stated that Ensign now has a roughly 16% share in its home market of Singapore.

StarHub assures that it remains committed to returning 80% of underlying net profit to shareholders.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
