“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.”

“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.”
