Singapore Chosen for Boeing’s First Cyber Analytics Center Outside U.S.

Boeing has confirmed that Singapore will be home to its first Cyber Analytics Center outside the U.S..

The center will help train and equip cybersecurity professionals, perform advanced analytics and serve as Boeing’s regional cybersecurity center of excellence.

Boeing will hire and train cybersecurity professionals in Singapore to staff the center.

“Boeing is a leader in cybersecurity from the U.S., and we warmly welcome Boeing’s decision to establish the Cyber Analytics Center in Singapore,” said Gian Yi-Hsen, director of the Singapore Economic Development Board’s Safety & Security Industry Programme Office. “This center is a first for Boeing internationally and a significant addition to the cybersecurity industry in Singapore to meet the growing demands of the region.”

A key feature of the facility will be the ability for customers to share timely and actionable information. The center will also provide a collaborative environment for security professionals to work with industry partners, customers and academia to solve complex, cybersecurity challenges.

“We’ve established this center to address current and evolving cybersecurity challenges in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Per Beith, director of Boeing’s Information Security Solutions. “The risks to critical infrastructure and governments worldwide continue to grow, and this center demonstrates Boeing’s – and Singapore’s – commitment to addressing the cyber threat.”
