Singtel teams up with Inmarsat to boost maritime cyber security

It will provide a suite of cyber defences.

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) and Inmarsat have teamed up to strengthen global maritime cyber security.

According to Singtel’s news release, Singtel’s cybersecurity arm, Trustwave, will provide the software-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) service to be integrated with Inmarsat hardware onboard ships, to protect data and lessen cyber risk for maritime firms.

The UTM service offers a suite of cyber security defences like advance firewall, anti-virus, intrusion prevention, and web-filtering backed by global round-the-clock support. It will be delivered through Fleet Xpress, available from a single communications provider.

Singtel and Inmarsat intend to launch the new maritime cyber security service in 2H16.

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.
