  1. Securing Trusted Action in the Agentic Enterprise — As AI agents gain greater autonomy across enterprise systems, cyber security must evolve to keep pace. This Frost & Sullivan industry analysis, commissioned by Singtel, explores how organisations can continuously establish trust, defend at machine speed and engineer resilience to scale AI with confidence. /business/insights/securing-trusted-action-in-the-agentic-enterprise
  2. Hospitality’s network is becoming business infrastructure — Hospitality networks were once treated primarily as infrastructure for keeping guests connected, but that is changing. Today, loyalty platforms, contactless services, streaming, connected devices and AI-driven personalisation increasingly rely on the same network, making it a critical part of both the guest experience and day-to-day digital operations. As hospitality operators expand across ASEAN, the ability to orchestrate networks across locations, support regional connectivity and bring compute closer to where services are delivered can help create more consistent experiences across properties, markets and borders. /business/insights/hospitalitys-network-is-becoming-business-infrastructure
  3. When trust becomes the bottleneck for digital growth — As digital fraud becomes more commercially accessible and sophisticated, traditional identity checks are increasingly vulnerable to stolen credentials, synthetic identities, and deepfakes. This article explores how financial institutions can build stronger trust by combining multiple signals, including network intelligence, to make higher-confidence decisions without adding friction to legitimate digital journeys. /business/insights/when-trust-becomes-the-bottleneck-for-digital-growth
  4. Network-level caller verification: Defending against voice phishing — The phone remains one of the most trusted channels enterprises use to reach their customers, which is exactly why generative AI voice is being weaponised against it. Effective defence depends on verifying caller identity at the network layer, before the call ever reaches a handset. As deepfake fraud scales across Southeast Asia, the maturity of carrier-level verification and risk-signal capabilities will shape how well the voice channel can be defended. /business/insights/network-level-caller-verification-defending-against-voice-phishing
  5. Singtel named Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Singapore Cybersecurity Services Company of the Year — Singtel has been recognised for its leadership in cyber security services in Singapore.

  6. Autonomous defence in BFSI: why the network matters — Banking is moving toward more autonomous cyber defence as agentic AI takes on a growing role in assessing risk and guiding responses. Its impact depends on the ability to enforce decisions consistently across complex, hybrid environments, making the network a critical execution layer. As adoption expands, the maturity of data, cloud, and connectivity foundations will shape how effectively these capabilities operate at scale. /business/insights/autonomous-defence-in-bfsi-why-the-network-matters
