Singapore government hires NEC and Sypris to develop cyber security lab

To counter "increasingly complex" cyber threats.

NEC Asia Pacific, a leading infocomm technology provider, and Sypris Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM: SYPR) and a leader in high-end, global cyber security solutions, announced that their team was awarded a contract to develop a Cyber Security Laboratory for the Singapore Government. The contract will involve deploying a simulation-based training and modeling platform that will provide a safe, realistic hands-on environment for the participants to hone their skills in countering cyber-attacks.

The award is a result of a strategic partnership between NEC Asia Pacific and Sypris Electronics to deliver a joint global product and service offering.

“With the increasingly complex and sophisticated attacks from cyber criminals, an organization faces a multitude of cyber security risks to its IT systems, ranging from web defacement and malware infections to network and operation system attacks. NEC, together with Sypris, will bring together the latest technologies to jointly deliver a solution that will address the cyber security needs of the Singapore government, to prevent and mitigate against potential attacks,” said Toshiya Matsuki, Chief Executive Officer, NEC Asia Pacific.

“The Sypris Cyber Range provides the critical platform required for organizations to simulate today’s increasingly complex cyber threats,” stated John Walsh, President of Sypris Electronics. “The Range allows customers to seamlessly integrate and continuously upgrade best of breed capability and training curriculums from our world class partners to make certain that their employees stay ahead of their cyber adversaries.”

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.
