StarHub and Temasek form cybersecurity joint venture

The JV is expected to generate revenues in excess of $100m annually.

StarHub and Temasek Holdings’ indirect subsidiary Leone will merge their cybersecurity-focused companies into one of the largest in Asia through a new joint venture called Branded Ensign InfoSecurity (Ensign).

StarHub’s Accel Systems & Technologies (ASTL) and the Temasek-owned Quann will be the companies merged for Ensign. The new Ensign team will have 500 analysts, consultants, and researchers based out of their corporate headquarters in Singapore, where enhanced Security Operations Centres are also located.

Ensign will initially support Government and Enterprise customers and generate revenues in excess of $100m annually in cybersecurity solutions, systems integration and managed services.

In addition to transferring 100% of ASTL and its other cybersecurity assets, StarHub will pay $36m in cash for its stake in the joint venture company. The transaction is expected to close by October 2018.

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.
