ViewQwest Pte. Ltd. (ViewQwest) proposed a stronger and more purpose-built approach to security in the face of the challenges posed by the post-pandemic system. This was highlighted at a cybersecurity summit the company hosted recently.

ViewQwest is a Singapore-based provider of regional telecommunications and Managed Security Services.

“As the world adapts to the increasing demand for a less geographically based workforce and corporations harness the power of ever-increasing connectivity options and digital transformation, there is also an increase in potential security threats,” ViewQwest said in a statement.

At a cybersecurity summit, IT and security leaders explored next-generation cybersecurity measures that ensure safe and successful digital transformation amid increasing cyber threats. These threats especially target areas where growth outstrips traditional systems.

Risk

“This is why Asian markets, particularly in the Philippines, can be at risk,” ViewQwest said.

Citing a McKinsey Global Institute report, ViewQwest said Asia exhibited an overall exceptional resilience despite repeated setbacks and lockdowns, and as a result, is expected to account for 50% of global GDP and drive 40% of the world’s consumption by the year 2040, all things considered.

“The key to this drastic growth is corporations going digital,” said Vignesa Moorthy, founder and CEO of ViewQwest. He warns that this move, crucial as it may be, could leave corporate assets and sensitive information open to threats and cyber attacks.

ViewQwest services over 10,000 branches across North and Southeast Asia with its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions and software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) services.

“Leveraging our telco DNA, we have built the most cost-effective, high-performance and reliable networking solutions integrated with our certified best-of-breed SASE capabilities from leading global cybersecurity leaders such as Palo Alto Networks,” Moorthy said. “This allows us to create differentiated services that address unique security demands across our markets and customers, a distinct advantage that ViewQwest offers to enterprises in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia.”
