Singtel has signed a strategic partnership with Akamai Technologies, a global leader in Content Delivery Network (CDN) services to provide businesses with enhanced protection against, and faster response to, Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) and web application attacks.
Singtel is the first operator globally to be trained and certified by Akamai to deliver professional and managed security services for its Web Security solutions in the region.
These services will be made available to Singapore enterprises first, followed by the regional markets in Asia Pacific.
Singtel’s Advanced Security Operations Centre (ASOC) staff will be trained to use the round-the-clock security monitoring and attack mitigation capabilities of Akamai’s Managed Security Service to respond more quickly to cyber-attacks.
They will leverage Akamai’s end-to-end visibility of internet traffic and attack patterns globally to better monitor, alert, triage and mitigate against the latest security threats.
William Woo, Managing Director of the cyber security business in Group Enterprise, Singtel
The combination of our global threat intelligence with the enhanced capabilities of the ASOC will allow us to better help businesses secure their servers, connectivity, web infrastructure and applications against critical downtime and theft of commercial data while maintaining performance.
Graeme Beardsell, Managing Director, Asia Pacific & Japan, Akamai
As security remains a key business concern for many organisations, this strategic partnership with Singtel will greatly benefit businesses, leveraging a powerful combination of trained security personnel and advanced tools.
