AETOS Holdings

What AETOS Holdings does

AETOS Holdings Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered, SJ Group (Surbana Jurong) owned unified security solutions provider founded in 2004 from the merger of three licensed auxiliary police forces (PSA, ST Kinetics, Changi International Airport Services). It is one of only three licensed auxiliary police organisations in Singapore and operates across physical security manpower (over 5,000 officers), integrated consultancy (TVRA audits, security master planning, blast mitigation, Recognised Security Organisation services for Maritime & Port Authority), cash and valuables management through a Cash Processing Centre handling over 6 million notes per day, corporate risk management, and training via the WSQ-certified AETOS Training Academy. The company is the only security firm in Singapore offering an end-to-end suite of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and CUAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System) services.

The firm's technology backbone is the 5G-capable Integrated Command Centre (ICC), launched in March 2022 and powered by the proprietary Aquila-X agnostic platform, which ingests data from unlimited subsystems (CCTV, IoT sensors, access control, perimeter intrusion) into AI alert-based automated workflows. Built on top of this is Singapore's largest 3D digital twin, enabling virtual patrols, predictive operations, and a unified dashboard spanning security, safety, facilities management, and sustainability. Computer vision applications include loitering detection, fire and smoke detection, fall detection, and 24/7 remote monitoring; the Intelligent Fire Detection System is classified by SCDF and compulsory in certain unmanned buildings. Strategic technology partnerships with Huawei (Asia Pacific), Singtel (5G/MEC), Azendian (ML/AI), UnaBiz (IoT), and Ascent Solutions (track-and-trace) underpin platform integration.

Revenue is generated across six streams: Professional Security Services (manpower-based guarding, auxiliary police, K-9, event security), Managed Technology Solutions (24/7 ICC monitoring, video analytics, IoT), Cash & Valuables Management (transaction-fee based), Integrated Consultancy (professional services), Training Services, and First-Line Maintenance for ATM networks (notably DBS through Diebold Nixdorf partnership). Enterprise contracts are outcome-based and multi-year, while personnel deployment follows monthly subscriptions. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales to government agencies (MHA, SPF, PSA, LTA, SAF), financial institutions (DBS Most Valued Business Partner 2020), healthcare (Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Institute of Mental Health), critical infrastructure (SP Group, ST Engineering), and event organisers (F1 Singapore Grand Prix, National Day Parade, Marina Bay Countdown, ASEAN Summit). AETOS serves as the first SkillsFuture Queen Bee for the security sector, under a three-year mandate to train 5,000+ learners and mentor SMEs.
