Hotbed for rogue cyber attack activity must be in these part of the world, with Microsoft already establishing its security watch base in Singapore, Kaspersky has followed suit.

The security software company has established its APAC headquarters in the heart of Singapore with the aim to be closer to its partners and customers in the region. The move was in-line with the relocation 2 years ago from Hog Kong.

Not only serving as a hub for administrative, sales, marketing, and channel departments, the new Singapore office will also represent the regional base of the company’s research and development team headed by Vitaly Kamluk, Director of the Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) at Kaspersky Lab APAC.

Big man Eugune Kaspersky was on hand to officiate the opening of the office at Harbourfront Tower One.
