KL Sentral-based, BAE Systems Stratsec, now part of BAE Systems Detica, was officially lauded as Malaysia’s ‘Most Innovative Information Security Company’ during an innovation awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur.
The ceremony took place on 6th of November 2012 in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, during the week-long World Innovation Forum 2012.
The award was presented by YB Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Maximus Johnity Ongkili, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) to Peter Lilley, BAE Systems Stratsec CEO and his KL team.
The award acknowledged BAE Systems’ exemplary leadership, innovation, and commitment in contributing to cyber security and information security in Malaysia.
John Brosnan, BAE Systems’ managing director for South East Asia said: “We are very proud of our Malaysia team in receiving this prestigious award. In a short space of time our cyber professionals in the KL Sentral office have established themselves as a national center of excellence in delivering information security services.
“BAE Systems Detica sees Malaysia as the future hub for its cyber-security offering in the region. Where today we employ 25 highly skilled Malaysian cyber-professionals, our aim is to grow that number to more than 300 over the next few years as we deliver our security credentials across ASEAN markets.”
“We are already a leading cyber security partner to the UK and Australian Governments and are working closely with Cyber Security Malaysia and the broader Malaysian Government. We are also now working with leading Malaysian industry brands including Air Asia and CIMB in what we believe is a vibrant and growing cyber security sector.”
“Innovation is one of the core values of our company. It is also clearly a value that is driving Malaysia forward as a nation. What better place could there possibly be from which to deliver our worldwide intellectual property and security experience to the rest of Asia.”
