Singtel unveils cyber security institute to train firms against attacks

Its programs tackle threat awareness, risk management.

In a thrust to address the growing number of cyber threats, Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) has unveiled the Singtel Cyber Security Institute (CSI).

According to the telco firm’s news release, CSI is a hybrid between an advanced cyber range and an educational institute and is housed in a permanent space of over 10,000 sqft. It will provide cyber skills development and education programmes tailored to the needs of company boards, C-suite management, technology, and operational staff.

Boards and C-suite level participants will be trained in the areas of cyber threat awareness, risk management, business continuity planning, and communications preparation. The cyber operations team will be trained in defence and response capabilities.

Singtel also revealed it is the first Singapore company to collaborate with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore on the Cyber Security Associates and Technologists (CSAT) Programme to train infocomm professionals in cyber security.

“Cyber security is no longer just a technical issue to be tackled only at the operational level. It needs to involve all levels within an organisation including boards and C-suite management, and even external stakeholders such as regulators,” said Bill Chang, CEO of Group Enterprise at Singtel.

“We hope to arm enterprises and public agencies with the necessary know-how to counter cyber threats in a holistic manner. This will help them mitigate the risks and costs associated with cyber disruptions,” Chang added.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
