StarHub has announced plans to partner several industry players with the goal to drive Singapore’s cybersecurity, jointly investing S$200 million (US$145.86 million) over five years to do so.
The initiative was unveiled Wednesday at the launch of the telco’s Cyber Security Centre of Excellence, which would serve as a hub to support the new initiative.
According to StarHub, an initial group of five industry players and four local tertiary institutions had joined the centre, including Blue Coat, Fortinet, and Wedge Networks, as well as Republic Polytechnic and Singapore University of Technology and Design. These partners would be involved in various initiatives aimed at boosting Singapore’s cybersecurity capabilities, specifically, in skills development and industry collaboration.
StarHub said it was targeting to train more than 300 professionals with relevant skillsets in over the next five years, and would work on research and development projects with the four educational institutions and Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency. For the full article click here
