\u201cWe are excited to unlock the doors of this digital hub to let users experience the services and capabilities of Kaspersky\u2019s cybersecurity technology here in our region. As a paradigm shift for the cybersecurity industry, this facility – the first in the region – will be located in Cyberjaya, all thanks to the kind cooperation of CyberSecurity Malaysia.
