Ensign InfoSecurity Collaborates with Intel 471 to Strengthen Cyber Threat Intelligence Capabilities for Enterprises in South Korea

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach
– 19 October 2021 – Ensign InfoSecurity
(Ensign), Asia’s largest pure-play cybersecurity firm, announced today its partnership with Intel
471, a premiere cybercrime intelligence provider.

The new partnership marks another milestone in
Ensign’s expansion plan in South Korea as it reinforces its footprint in the
market, further strengthening its position as a leading provider of end-to-end
cybersecurity solutions.

The government in South Korea, one of the
region’s most digitally connected markets, recently announced a US$2.6 billion
investment in hyperconnectivity and emerging technologies like cloud and
blockchain. These technologies will also be rolled out in key sectors including
manufacturing, healthcare, education and the public sector ^[1] .
As digitalisation efforts accelerate across key industries, the digital attack
surface of enterprises will continue to expand, exposing them to new
vulnerabilities and cyber threats.  

“With
enterprises scaling up their digital initiatives, they will require more data,
and richer and relevant insights to strengthen their cybersecurity strategy,
and customise their cyber defences,” said General Manager Sam Goh at Ensign
Korea. “To this end, we can enable South Korean organisations to shift gears
and take a proactive, intelligence-led cybersecurity stance, improving their cyber
resilience as they expand their digital estate.”

“As
the number of cyber attacks accelerate and threat actors continue to evolve at an
alarming pace, prioritised, relevant, and timely insights into the cyber underground
could not be more critical for enterprises around the globe,” said Chief
Executive Officer, Mark Arena at Intel 471. “This partnership between Intel 471
and Ensign InfoSecurity will provide enterprises in South Korea with a growing
repository of rich threat intelligence to better anticipate and make proactive
decisions for threat detection and analysis, incident response and
remediation.”
