In response to the intensifying threat of ransomware attacks in Singapore, StarHub introduced the country’s first one-stop cyber security solution, to help enterprise customers develop stronger immunity against system breaches, unauthorised system lockdown, data exfiltration, and extortion attempts. starhub cyber security

Available from today, StarHub CyberSecure Business Solution is a one-stop managed service that provides a suite of cyber defences for enterprises, securing network frontlines as well as back-end systems. The solution integrates crisis and incident response management, digital forensics, cloud-delivered threat detection for every system and device, and secure data backup and recovery services, packaged in collaboration with three cyber protection heavyweights Ensign InfoSecurity, Palo Alto Networks, and Veeam.

Enterprises simply liaise with a single party – StarHub – for assistance on all things related to ransomware protection, including the deployment of preventive security measures as well as remediating intrusions to prevent further harm. In the unfortunate event of a suspected ransomware attack, enterprises will just need to contact their StarHub Managed Service Account Managers for priority assistance.

“Increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks demand highly-responsive security strategies, especially so as these threats expose firms to severe financial, compliance, and reputational risks. The number of local ransomware cases has spiked, and as a responsible service provider, we want to offer our customers cyber security solutions that offer maximum security and yet are simple to manage,” said Charlie Chan, Chief, Enterprise Business Group, StarHub. “Deep industry cooperation is critical to addressing threats successfully for customers. Together with Ensign InfoSecurity, Palo Alto Networks, and Veeam, we are delighted to leverage our strengths and domain knowledge to help keep Singapore businesses safe and secure.”

StarHub CyberSecure Business Solution offers customers three main features:

Fortifying entry points for quicker threat detection

In today’s remote work era, the new first line of defence for enterprises is where the internet meets their employee devices, such as laptops and tablets, as well as point-of-sales equipment, are. Traditional firewalls alone, sited deep within central data centres, are not as effective in combating the expanded threat area.

Powered by Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE which brings best-of-breed security into a cloud-delivered platform, StarHub’s solution enables enterprises to establish advanced security defences into every device, regardless of where employees are or what internet connectivity they are on. Users are authenticated, data traffic is inspected, and threats are neutralised at the edge of the enterprise network perimeter.

Maintaining backups off-site for maximum business continuity

The next vital ransomware protection advantage for enterprises is to have up-to-date copies of valuable company data, which are stored securely off-site and ready for retrieval at a moment’s notice.

With StarHub’s solution, enterprises can set up data sources, frequency of backups, and the retention period. Enterprises can speedily bring systems and applications back online to the last known good configuration, for business operations to continue with minimal disruption even if their data were to be accidentally deleted or held to ransom.

Ensuring ready access to cyber security experts for hands-on assistance starhub cyber security

Time is of the essence when it comes to repelling cyber-attacks and mitigating their impact on organisations. Crown jewels, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), intellectual property and trade secrets, are often the targets of financially motivated cyber criminals. StarHub’s solution provides enhanced protection for enterprises’ endpoints, and monitors them on a 24/7 basis to detect any malicious attack attempts.

In addition, StarHub’s solution gives enterprises access to experts with proven track record and deep knowledge in cyber incident response. At the onset of a cyber-attack, 24/7-on-call incident response and forensic specialists will step in to assist organisations in containing and eradicating the threat, assessing the impact, and identifying the root cause of the incident. These specialists will also advise organisations on regulatory matters, assist them on the fastest path to business recovery, and provide post-incident threat monitoring to prevent attack resurgence.
