Critical hires we've secured

Information Security Manager - IT & Telecoms - Cloud & Infrastructure - Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia   (1)

Information Security Manager - IT & Telecoms - Cloud & Infrastructure - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia  

Our client, a leading transportation and supply chain multinational in Malaysia, sought a seasoned Information Security (InfoSec) Manager to enhance their IT security posture. Tasked with shaping security strategy, refining risk management practices, and overseeing compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and global data privacy laws, the role demanded extensive experience in policy development, incident response, and team leadership.
 
Through targeted headhunting, we sourced a candidate with over 8 years’ experience in information security, CISSP certification, and a proven record in developing security awareness programs. The individual successfully unified the InfoSec team, implemented robust policies, and drove organisational maturity in cybersecurity.
 
By combining technical expertise with executive communication skills, the placement delivered immediate value—reducing IT risks, optimising resource allocations, and ensuring compliance for business-critical operations across the region. The result: a proactive, resilient security environment supporting ongoing digital transformation.
