- SingTel has partnered with Akamai Technologies to offer cloud-based cyber security solutions to enterprises in Asia Pacific, complementing its multi-layered cyber security solutions. Akamai's globally-distributed Intelligent Platform helps companies swiftly neutralise DDoS threats and keep networks and websites up during Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.
- According to Akamai, the cloud-based DDoS solution helps enterprises to strengthen their ability to cope with the volumetric and application types of DDoS attacks and other malicious web attacks. The solution that is offered on a monthly subscription basis can pre-emptively scrutinise, detect and block DDoS threats before they reach the targeted web services, said Akamai.
"Enterprises today deploy mission critical applications such as enterprise resource planning, e-commerce, cloud-based applications and Unified Communications across wide area networks and the Internet. While these applications help enterprises to be more productive, agile and cost efficient, they also render enterprises more vulnerable to cyber attacks such as DDoS. This extends SingTel's security perimeter and protection coverage to ensure that our customers' servers, connectivity, web infrastructure and apps are secured against critical downtime and theft of commercial data, without loss of performance."
- William Woo, Managing Director, Enterprise Data and Managed Services, SingTel
"Akamai has a long history with SingTel, first as our customer and now as a partner, and we share their commitment to helping businesses succeed in today's hyperconnected world. We believe this partnership will enable SingTel to provide unparalleled security, availability and high-performance to their business customers, helping them drive their business and brand forward."
