SINGAPORE, October 13, 2023 – InsiderSecurity, a Singaporean developer of innovative cybersecurity SaaS used by many government agencies and enterprises, is excited to unveil its latest cloud security product codenamed CSX, at Govware 2023. CSX already won an award at CSA Cybersecurity Innovation Day 2022.

CSX is a good example of homegrown cybersecurity products that help position Singapore to be a cybersecurity hub in the digital economy.

Founded by local cyber experts, InsiderSecurity has been building advanced cybersecurity software products for the past 8 years. CSX is a cumulation of its expertise in cyber security, user behavior analytics and product development.

CSX is a game-changer in the market as it does one important thing: simplify cloud security.

As more businesses shift to the cloud, attackers are increasingly targeting cloud data and assets. Every now and then, a company appears on the news due to a cyber breach – a cyber breach has become a matter of when, not if. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are held accountable for breaches and some even face criminal charges for lack of oversight.

This brings up the question – how can I be sure that the business’s cloud data and infrastructure are secure and have not been compromised?

Leveraging state-of-the-art analytics and artificial intelligence, CSX offers robust security coverage across the whole cloud stack, encompassing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

CSX flags out anomalous behaviors within cloud environments, providing actionable insights through an intuitive dashboard. CSX empowers businesses to enhance their security posture by minimising the need for extensive security expertise or large security teams. CSX makes cloud security accessible and cost-effective, even for small enterprises.

“We are very excited to release our newest cybersecurity solution for the cloud – CSX,” said Justin Tay, Product Manager at InsiderSecurity. “With CSX, we want to help businesses from Singapore and abroad to get assurance of the security of their cloud products and services.”

One of the standout features of CSX is its simplicity. For example, users can seamlessly onboard their IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services through the user-friendly dashboard. Adding a new cloud service for monitoring is as easy as clicking “Add” and following the automated steps. This streamlined process simplifies security management and minimizes the time and effort required to ensure the security of cloud products and services.

“I can’t wait to onboard all our products when CSX is released,” said a CEO at an SME. “Recently, one of our employees had their mobile phone compromised and lost access to their mobile banking app. Since they also had our company work productivity tools products installed on the same phone, I was extremely worried that our cloud services have also been compromised. At the time, the only way I could be sure there was no major breach was to incur significant costs reviewing each of our security tools – CSX would have made that so much easier and more affordable!”

Put your cloud security worries to rest and secure all your clouds with CSX today. To learn more about InsiderSecurity, please visit InsiderSecurity.

Two-time winner in Cybersecurity Security Agency of Singapore (CSA)’s Cybersecurity Innovation Day

This is the second year that InsiderSecurity won an award at CSA’s Cybersecurity Innovation Day. The first award was in 2020.

Established by Singaporean cybersecurity experts in 2015, InsiderSecurity builds advanced cybersecurity products that are used by many large enterprises, government agencies and SMEs. InsiderSecurity is the only company that is accredited by Singapore’s IMDA in the field of cybersecurity behaviour analytics. Our innovative AI-based solutions provide early-warning of internal threats inside business infrastructures before there is any serious data loss. This technology is useful for early detection for supply chain attacks, such as Kaseya and SolarWinds cyber attack.

InsiderSecurity is featured by Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the AWS YouTube channel! In this AWS interview, we share what we do — solutions to discover the internal threat.

InsiderSecurity’s cofounder Chen Kin Siong is honoured to be in the ASEAN 40 under 40 list, for InsiderSecurity’s innovative work on solving big challenges in cybersecurity.

InsiderSecurity was cited by Minister Iswaran on how our tech is securing Singaporean organisations in his Total Defence Day 2019 speech.

“I am happy that local companies such as SgCarMart and the Singapore College of Insurance have already adopted solutions by InsiderSecurity, a homegrown cybersecurity company founded by Singaporean cyber warfare experts and accredited by IMDA’s Accreditation@SGD programme.” said Minister Iswaran.

InsiderSecurity is proud to be cited by Mr. S Iswaran, Minister for Communications and Information and Minister-in-Charge of Cybersecurity in his speech during the Total Defence Day Commemoration on last February 15, 2019. 

Minister Iswaran talked about various digital threats that took place globally and in Singapore, underscoring how these can be as destructive as physical threats like terrorism. He then called on the nation to play a part in this national effort to fight cyber threats, with various Government Agencies and businesses taking the necessary steps to strengthen security strategies. Minister Iswaran gave the example where Singaporean organisations are adopting InsiderSecurity’s cybersecurity solution.

As a homegrown cybersecurity firm accredited by IMDA, we are thankful for the opportunity to serve fellow Singapore companies, defending them from cyber attackers hiding inside the network.

With cybersecurity increasing in importance each day, we at InsiderSecurity will be building on our strengths in Early Breach Detection and Cybersecurity Behaviour Analytics to make Singapore a safer place.

We had a fantastic GovWare 2018, with great response from visitors and attendees to InsiderSecurity’s award-winning, IMDA-accredited, deep tech for Early Breach Detection! Jonathan, our CEO, was also invited to speak on cybersecurity AI, entitled “Will AI save or kill us in cybersecurity?”

In an interview with Channel News Asia, our CEO, Jonathan Phua, talked about the challenge of finding the right talents who can fill positions in the local cybersecurity industry.

In an interview with Channel NewsAsia, our CEO, Jonathan Phua, talked about the challenge of finding the right cybersecurity talents, who can fill positions in the local cybersecurity industry. Singapore, like many countries, is experiencing a shortage of cybersecurity professionals. This makes it difficult for many organisations to get strong cybersecurity. The higher demand for experienced cybersecurity professionals also means higher hiring costs.

Immediate shortage aside, there are good reasons for Singapore to develop its cybersecurity talents.

“It is vital for Singapore to grow our own cybersecurity talents because of two reasons. First, Singapore has a good shot at becoming a major cybersecurity hub. We have the right people and infrastructure. Second, if not for economics, then for national defense, as cybersecurity is already the sixth pillar of Total Defence,” explained Phua.

Attracting cybersecurity professionals need not always be via higher salaries. There are applicants who join companies not just because of the financial compensation, but also for the value of the product or service they see that those companies are producing. “Within InsiderSecurity, we have been fortunate in that we have been able to attract talents, as we are doing exciting, cutting-edge work,” said Phua.

InsiderSecurity is helping address the current talent shortage by continuing to develop automated cyber threat detection technology, that helps companies with even small IT teams cope with cyber threats.
