Enhanced service features best-of-breed security and network solutions
Singapore, 1 October 2024 – Singtel today announced the launch of an enhanced Singtel CUBΣ1, aimed at empowering enterprises with intelligent security and network services so they can navigate a complex digital landscape with agility and resilience. The unified suite of network solutions and services will now feature Security Access Service Edge (SASE) services from industry leaders Fortinet, Palo-Alto, and Zscaler as well as advanced AI-powered Algo-Routing services which dynamically optimise path selection for business workloads, thereby improving Internet performance by up to 30%.
