Kaspersky has strengthened its partnership with VSTECS Singapore to enhance its presence and support for local businesses in Singapore's enterprise cybersecurity market.

According to data released by Kaspersky, the fourth quarter of 2024 saw over 1.2 million cyber threats detected on the computers of Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) participants in Singapore. The first half of 2024 also recorded more than 1.7 million brute-force attacks detected and thwarted by Kaspersky's enterprise products, reflecting the increasing threat landscape and the necessity for robust cybersecurity solutions within the region.

Adrian Hia, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky, said, "Kaspersky has gone from strength to strength in enhancing our enterprise offerings and we are delighted to strengthen our partnership with VSTECS to further our ambitions. In line with Singapore's continuous efforts to fortify its cybersecurity infrastructure, partnering with a trusted distributor enables us to better support local businesses with advanced security solutions. By expanding our enterprise reach, we also aim to empower organisations with the resilience needed to combat evolving cyber threats."

Amy Foo, Vice President for Enterprise and Client Solutions at VSTECS Singapore, remarked, "Digital transformation and AI technologies are evolving and integrating into every aspect of business and personal life. They are also reshaping the cybersecurity landscape in profound ways. The partnership is expected to address growing cybersecurity needs by making Kaspersky's security solutions more accessible for VSTECS' partners and customers. We look forward to expanding the reach of Kaspersky's renowned security products to the Singapore market."

VSTECS Singapore, a prominent IT products and solutions provider, plays a crucial role in the distribution agreement.
