Singtel teams up with Inmarsat to boost maritime cyber security

It will provide a suite of cyber defences.

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) and Inmarsat have teamed up to strengthen global maritime cyber security.

According to Singtel’s news release, Singtel’s cybersecurity arm, Trustwave, will provide the software-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) service to be integrated with Inmarsat hardware onboard ships, to protect data and lessen cyber risk for maritime firms.

The UTM service offers a suite of cyber security defences like advance firewall, anti-virus, intrusion prevention, and web-filtering backed by global round-the-clock support. It will be delivered through Fleet Xpress, available from a single communications provider.

Singtel and Inmarsat intend to launch the new maritime cyber security service in 2H16.

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.
