Singapore's Defense Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has signed a contract with Oracle for an Oracle Cloud Isolated Region which will support both the Ministry of Defense (MINDEF) and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), giving them access to a high-performance, air-gapped, and secure sovereign cloud region as well as artificial intelligence services.
“The demand for secure and scalable cloud solutions is growing. It is more than just data storage and computing - it will be the foundation for a lot of innovation," said Ng Chad-Son, chief executive of DSTA. "Through this pilot collaboration with Oracle, we will harness advanced cloud and AI technologies to digitalize and transform our operations.
Rand Waldron, global defense CTO, Oracle, added: “Oracle has safeguarded the world’s most sensitive data for decades. We are pleased to bring this expertise to support the Singapore defense community’s missions. Our air-gapped, isolated cloud regions bring the capabilities of our public cloud and defense ecosystem to the world's most secure networks. Oracle is built to deliver the highest levels of security and performance for governments around the world.”
