Mimecast – an email security and cyber resilience company – has opened an office in Singapore, which will serve as the regional hub for Southeast Asia.
This is part of its continued move to expand its footprint in Asia Pacific to serve the cybersecurity needs of organisations in the region as they digitally transform. According to Mimecast’s The State of Email Security Report, 84% of companies in Singapore are faced with an increasing number of email-based threats.
Mimecast has also appointed Stanley Hsu as its regional vice president. He will responsible for building teams to help drive product revenues, increase adoption of Mimecast’s cloud-based solutions, and enhance customer success.
“Stanley joins us at a time when organisations are realising the significance of cybersecurity and making it a part of their boardroom discussions. With his extensive knowledge of the industry and the region, we believe he is in a strong position to guide customers to optimise their security infrastructure, help reduce risk and increase compliance,” says Nick Lennon, vice president for APAC at Mimecast, whom Hsu will report directly to.
Hsu has spent more than 25 years in the cybersecurity industry, holding sales and leadership positions in organisations such as EMC Software Group, McAfee, Darktrace and Illumio to name a few.
“Mimecast is strongly positioned to support regional efforts to strengthen the defences of organisations, build resilience and create a safe digital environment to succeed. I’m excited to be a part of the Mimecast team and look forward to accelerating growth and expanding our business in a disruptive market,” says Hsu.
