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.

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.
