Keppel, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Singapore, is a global asset manager and operator focused on alternative real assets. Its operations span more than 20 countries across three core segments: Infrastructure, Real Estate, and Connectivity. The firm manages approximately $95 billion in funds and raised $28.2 billion in capital between 2020 and 2025, with an average internal rate of return of 21% since 2002.
The company's work touches critical infrastructure - energy grids, data centers, telecommunications networks, and urban developments. That means cybersecurity isn't a bolt-on function; it's embedded in the operational integrity of physical systems that support cities and economies. The threat model includes attacks on industrial control systems, supply chain compromises, and risks tied to the rapid digitalisation of energy and urban infrastructure.
Keppel addresses challenges around climate change, the energy transition, and increasing digitalisation through its asset portfolio and sustainability solutions. Security professionals working here operate at the intersection of IT and OT environments, protecting assets that can't afford downtime - where a breach doesn't just mean data loss but real-world operational disruption across jurisdictions with varying regulatory frameworks.
