ST Engineering launches AI-powered cybersecurity service for SMEs

It uses AI to detect known and unknown threats.

ST Engineering has launched AETHER (AI-Enabled Threat Elimination and Response), a new fully managed cybersecurity service designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), at its largest-ever Cybersecurity Summit.

AETHER uses AI-driven behavioural analytics to detect both known and unknown cyber threats, providing integrated protection through continuous threat scanning, monitoring, and incident response.

The service builds on the SME CyberResilience programme launched in partnership with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in May 2025 and is part of ST Engineering’s broader effort to strengthen cybersecurity across the entire business ecosystem.

The summit, graced by Tan Kiat How, senior minister of State for Digital Development and Information, focused on the rising risks posed by AI-powered attacks and quantum computing.

“Now in its fourth edition, the summit centred on the triple threat of cyber, AI and quantum, spotlighting the urgent intersection of emerging technologies that are transforming the cyber landscape,” said Goh Eng Choon, president of Cyber, ST Engineering.

ST Engineering also showcased 15 new cybersecurity innovations built to defend against emerging threats. These included AGIL® Secure AI, which protects AI and GenAI systems; EtherCrypt 1000, a quantum-safe encryption solution; and AI-powered tools such as AICYMO and Agentic AI Cyber Analyst for advanced cyber monitoring and response across IT, OT, and cloud systems.

The event brought together more than 1,000 leaders from government, industry, and academia to address critical cybersecurity challenges and advance digital defence strategies.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
