M1 is Singapore's first digital network operator, providing mobile, fixed line, and fiber services to more than two million customers over its Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN). M1 offers a wide range of mobile and fixed communication services to consumers. Its extensive suite of business services includes symmetrical connectivity solutions of up to 10Gbps, as well as managed, cloud, cybersecurity, Internet of Things, and data center solutions. With a mission to drive transformation in Singapore's telecommunications landscape, M1 began with its own digital transformation journey, seeking to improve agility and deliver a holistic, highly personalized customer experience.

M1, Singapore's first digital network operator, embarked on a digital transformation journey with the aim of improving agility and delivering a highly personalized customer experience. The company designed its all-digital platform on four fundamental pillars: cloud-native for scalability, data analytics for actionable insights, automation for efficient integrations, and hyper-personalization of services. M1's Azure cloud infrastructure supports everything from internal systems and tools to customer-facing systems and customer data. The challenge was to defend these assets against all cyber threat vectors, which was mission-critical. The company needed to safeguard services and customer data, defend a digital infrastructure across cloud, network, and endpoints, and increase security visibility across the enterprise.

M1 chose Check Point Infinity Total Protection as an integral part of its 'secure-by-design' approach. This solution provides network security hardware and software with fully integrated endpoint, cloud, and mobile defenses. It includes the most advanced, real-time threat prevention against zero-day and emerging cyber attacks with 24x7 support and real-time updates. With Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, M1 gained immediate protection for its cloud assets and network through a virtual security gateway. Check Point automates and unifies advanced threat intelligence and prevention across all of the company's environments. Check Point Maestro Hyperscale Network Security enables M1 to seamlessly scale security defenses as-and where-needed with Terabit-per-second throughput. Web applications and APIs that enable third-party partner integration are automatically protected against malicious actors and by Check Point Cloud Guard Application Security. Check Point Harmony Email & Office secures essential business applications against phishing attacks and protects users from threats posed by malicious attachments and URLs. Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects all company endpoints, fixed and mobile, against the most imminent threats, such as phishing, ransomware, and malware.

• The implementation of Check Point Infinity Total Protection resulted in consolidated comprehensive cyber protection, intelligence, and management across networks, cloud, and endpoints for M1. The company gained unified visibility and automated management, future-proofing its security infrastructure for ongoing business continuity. Consolidating security defenses boosted operational efficiency, with all network points protected by autonomous threat prevention with automated orchestration and updating. The company's agility was increased, with consolidated cybersecurity architecture saving time for the security team and automation ensuring policy and configuration consistency. Policy management, logging, reporting, and control are managed from a single point, delivering optimized visibility for decision-making. The strong cybersecurity defenses enable M1 to confidently continue on its mission to drive telecommunications transformation across Singapore, keeping pace with ever-evolving cyber threats.
