NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept 12 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Phosphorus, the leading provider of advanced and full-scope security for the extended Internet of Things (xIoT), today announced a new partnership with Tindo, a leading IT security System Integrator in Southeast Asia. The new partnership will see the two companies jointly delivering a new generation of xIoT security solutions for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.
The new partnership comes at an important time for the ASEAN region. Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) recently warned that critical IoT devices now face a growing risk of ransomware and other attacks by cybercriminals. In its Singapore Cyber Landscape 2021 report, the agency cautioned that such attacks could have a “devastating impact on organisations due to the potential costs in downtime.” The CSA further warned that attacks on IoT devices used in critical information infrastructure and essential services could also threaten national security.
