ST Electronics, SUTD unveil $44.3m cyber security laboratory

It's the first corporate lab to focus on cyber threats.

ST Electronics and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have injected $44.3m to establish a new cyber security laboratory.

The ST Electronics-SUTD Cyber Security Laboratoryis part of the National Research Foundation's Corporate Laboratory@University Scheme, which supports the setting up of key corporate laboratories via public-private partnerships. It is the first corporate laboratory under this scheme to focus on cyber security.

The laboratory will dentify current and future cyber solutions required by the industry, develop cutting-edge technologies, provide proof of concepts and testbeds for the next generation of cyber security products and solutions.

The collaboration will increase the cyber security talent pool and professionals available to support Singapore’s Smart Nation Initiative.

The laboratory will focus on three main research and development areas, namely, cyber security and big data analytics, developing trusted monitoring and mitigating techniques, and developing innovative methods for detecting malicious and deceived insiders in an organisation.

The joint laboratory is located at the new state-of-the-art SUTD campus at Changi, occupying 400 square metre of research and office space. At full-capacity, the laboratory will have around 60 cyber security researchers from SUTD and ST Electronics

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.
