ST Engineering launches AI-powered cybersecurity service for SMEs

It uses AI to detect known and unknown threats.

ST Engineering has launched AETHER (AI-Enabled Threat Elimination and Response), a new fully managed cybersecurity service designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), at its largest-ever Cybersecurity Summit.

AETHER uses AI-driven behavioural analytics to detect both known and unknown cyber threats, providing integrated protection through continuous threat scanning, monitoring, and incident response.

The service builds on the SME CyberResilience programme launched in partnership with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in May 2025 and is part of ST Engineering’s broader effort to strengthen cybersecurity across the entire business ecosystem.

The summit, graced by Tan Kiat How, senior minister of State for Digital Development and Information, focused on the rising risks posed by AI-powered attacks and quantum computing.

“Now in its fourth edition, the summit centred on the triple threat of cyber, AI and quantum, spotlighting the urgent intersection of emerging technologies that are transforming the cyber landscape,” said Goh Eng Choon, president of Cyber, ST Engineering.

ST Engineering also showcased 15 new cybersecurity innovations built to defend against emerging threats. These included AGIL® Secure AI, which protects AI and GenAI systems; EtherCrypt 1000, a quantum-safe encryption solution; and AI-powered tools such as AICYMO and Agentic AI Cyber Analyst for advanced cyber monitoring and response across IT, OT, and cloud systems.

The event brought together more than 1,000 leaders from government, industry, and academia to address critical cybersecurity challenges and advance digital defence strategies.

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.
