I was honored to be a guest speaker at the dedication of Singapore’s ST Electronics DigiSAFE Cyber Security Centre earlier this month. What a delight to experience the new Centre, which is dedicated to hands-on training for Singapore’s Security Operations Center professionals and is the first of its kind in the region. Singapore IDA’s Managing Director, Ms. Jacqueline Poh, gave the opening address and unveiled the new Centre.
Globally, we frequently lament the lack of solid security talent at a time when attacks seem omnipresent. In my opinion, our partnership with the Centre is a great opportunity to showcase how the platform approach we’re taking at Palo Alto Networks can improve the experience of SOC operations.
Rather than a conga line approach to security, with lots of different products in use, or a UTM with discrete security functions that never “talk” to one another, our platform approach gives security practitioners:
With these advantages, SOC analysts can lighten their workload, with fewer alerts and less manual correlation. Security operations management is happy, too: reduced resource loads mean fewer costs.
My congratulations to ST Electronics and Singapore for a well-planned program! We look forward to the fruits of the partnership. See some photos from the event below:
