StarHub has teamed up with local firms and institutes to roll out $200m over the next five years to beef up Singapore cyber security.

According to the telco’s news release, StarHub today launched its new Cyber Security Center of Excellence (COE), and announced that StarHub and its partners will undertake initiatives to develop talent, innovation, and industry collaboration to bolster local cyber security.

Five industry partners, namely Blue Coat, Cyberbit, EY, Fortinet and Wedge Networks, and four institutes of higher learning (IHL), including Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic and Singapore University of Technology and Design have thus far joined the COE.

StarHub shares that it plans to rope in more industry and IHL partners to the COE to drive value and results.

Meanwhile, Professor Yitzhak Ben-Israel has been appointed as the advisor to the COE. He is a member of Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise Council, as well as the International Advisory Panel for Singapore's National Cybersecurity Research and Development Programme. Ben-Israel is also Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology & Research, and heads the Security Studies programme at Tel Aviv University.

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.
