SINGAPORE/PRNewswire/ -- BAE Systems today
announces that it is bringing cloud-based cyber security to
commercial organisations in Singapore for the first time. The company is
introducing a suite of security products designed to defend against
targeted attacks, including so-called "Zero Day attacks."
BAE Systems
protects the digital assets of more than 5,500 organisations
worldwide. The company has a strong track record of building
relationships with customers and partners across Asia Pacific and has a wide network of 15
offices in 10 ASEAN countries, including Singapore, Australia, Malaysia and the Philippines, providing some of the world's most
advanced, technology-led solutions to major organisations.
In Singapore, the company has seen its headcount
triple over the past year.
Recognised as a
top player in the cloud business email market, the expansion into
the cloud of the company's security offering in Singapore aims to meet high customer demand
for a wide and flexible portfolio of solutions -- from on-premise
services to cloud-based services and managed security services --
to combat the ever-increasing cyber threat.
Most cyber
attacks start with an email message; the first set of cloud-based
products to be introduced by BAE Systems into Singapore will therefore comprise BAE Systems'
Email Protection Services (EPS) which provides comprehensive
protection against advanced threats. The offerings include:
With 70-90% of
malware being unique to any single organisation, the most difficult
attacks to defend against are Zero Day attacks -- attacks that are
unknown or have not previously been seen and that, as a
consequence, require advanced defence. Therefore, a core element of
BAE Systems' EPS solution is Zero Day Prevention, which provides
customers with advanced protection from today's most sophisticated
threats. Most importantly, the technology is based on innovative
and pioneering techniques which analyse the email in the cloud for
malicious content and intent, before it reaches the recipient.
Additionally, one
of the biggest risks to businesses is the threat of employees who
accidentally or purposefully leak data. Most companies are
unprepared for this kind of problem, but BAE Systems makes it easy
to find and investigate insider issues with its Insider Threat
Prevention service, which forms part of the EPS product suite.
Nick Turnbull, Director, Cyber
Security, Asia, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence,
said:
"As Singapore
moves towards its Smart Nation goal, a focus on cyber security is
arguably the best defence companies can employ against the current
wave of attacks on their critical assets. By introducing
Singaporean companies to cloud-based protection in a way that is
easy to buy, consume and manage, we aim to help protect those
companies against today's most sophisticated threats. Not only can
cloud-based services be delivered within short timescales --
dealing with threats almost immediately -- but also, companies will
also have the ability to scale their security up or down, as
required, making them more agile in their response."

recent acquisition SilverSky was recognised by Radicati Group in
2014 as a top player in its Cloud Business Email Market Quadrant

Data Breach Investigations Report found that between 70-90% of
malware is unique to a single organisation.
