StarHub and Temasek form cybersecurity joint venture

The JV is expected to generate revenues in excess of $100m annually.

StarHub and Temasek Holdings’ indirect subsidiary Leone will merge their cybersecurity-focused companies into one of the largest in Asia through a new joint venture called Branded Ensign InfoSecurity (Ensign).

StarHub’s Accel Systems & Technologies (ASTL) and the Temasek-owned Quann will be the companies merged for Ensign. The new Ensign team will have 500 analysts, consultants, and researchers based out of their corporate headquarters in Singapore, where enhanced Security Operations Centres are also located.

Ensign will initially support Government and Enterprise customers and generate revenues in excess of $100m annually in cybersecurity solutions, systems integration and managed services.

In addition to transferring 100% of ASTL and its other cybersecurity assets, StarHub will pay $36m in cash for its stake in the joint venture company. The transaction is expected to close by October 2018.

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.
