It wants to have capabilities for solutions in cryptographic and digital security.

StarHub Ltd acquired cryptographic technology firm D’Crypt Pte Ltd for $122m to enhance its info-communications technologies (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutioning capabilities.

According to a press release, StarHub acquired D'Crypt to enhance its reach in cryptographic and digital security amidst Smart Nation initiatives.

After the acquisition, D’Crypt will operate as a standalone StarHub subsidiary and continue to be led by its current management team.

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.
