SPTel has unveiled AI-Security, an artificial intelligence tool designed to enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. Launched on 3 September, AI-Security aims to help SMEs swiftly identify and assess cyber risks in a cost-effective manner.
AI-Security provides round-the-clock monitoring of cybersecurity advisories and vulnerabilities, cross-referencing them against an SME’s digital infrastructure. Upon detecting a threat, the tool issues immediate alerts, allowing engineers or network service providers to respond promptly. This system classifies threats using the SME’s risk matrix, aligning with risk policies and prioritising responses to optimise resource allocation. Heng Kwee Tong, Head of Engineering and Corporate IT at SPTel, stated, “With AI-Security, we are giving SMEs a powerful AI tool that moves cybersecurity beyond reactive protection to proactive intelligence.”
Developed in collaboration with technology provider 1CloudStar, AI-Security is hosted on SPTel’s edge cloud, ensuring data sovereignty and enhanced physical security within Singapore. Mike Li, Founder and CEO of 1CloudStar, emphasised the tool’s focus on empowering rather than overwhelming SMEs.
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore’s Cyber Landscape 2023 report highlights that over 80% of organisations face at least one cybersecurity incident annually. For SMEs, which often lack specialised expertise, robust cyber defence is crucial for business resilience.
To promote AI-Security, SPTel is offering 1,000 complimentary trial accounts to SME members of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Interested parties can learn more at SPTel’s showcase during the SME Infocomm Commerce Conference at Suntec Singapore on 3–4 September.
