Award serves as an endorsement of LGMS’s focus on independence and trust
Latest recognition follows LGMS’ win at the PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards 2025
LGMS Berhad has added another accolade to its list of honours after being named cybersecurity company of the year 2025 at the Malaysia Cybersecurity Awards 2025, held in conjunction with the Cyber Digital Services Defence & Security Asia (CyberDSA) 2025.
CyberDSA, organised by Aerosea Exhibitions Sdn Bhd with the support of CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) and the Malaysian Armed Forces’ defence cyber and electromagnetic division, is recognised as Malaysia’s leading event for the cyber defence and security industry.
LGMS chairman Fong Choong Fook said the award serves as a strong endorsement of the company’s focus on independence and trust. “This recognition reflects the values LGMS has upheld since day one – to provide cybersecurity services that are objective, transparent and free from commercial bias,” he said.
“It also reinforces our commitment to protecting organisations with integrity and to raising the standards of cybersecurity across Malaysia and the wider region,” he added.
Fong was speaking after receiving the award from deputy digital minister Wilson Ugak Anak Kumbong, in the presence of CSM chairman Al-Ishsal bin Prof Ishak T. Kechik and CSM chief executive Dr Haji Amirudin Abdul Wahab.
This latest recognition follows LGMS’ win at the PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards 2025, where it secured the Cybersecurity (Advisory Services) Award last month.
PIKOM chairman Alex Liew commended LGMS for its neutrality and independence as a service provider, distinguishing it from solution vendors and product distributors. “LGMS has built a reputation for impartiality while helping organisations across Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific safeguard their systems against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats,” he said.
These back-to-back honours, which coincide with LGMS’ 20th anniversary, extend the company’s strong track record of trust, service excellence and industry recognition.
In 2024, LGMS also won the cybersecurity (advisory) award at the PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards, while Fong was named tech entrepreneur (cybersecurity). The company’s flagship StarSentry solution was also recognised as cybersecurity product innovation of the year at the Malaysia Cybersecurity Awards in both 2023 and 2024, underscoring its role in helping enterprises detect vulnerabilities and strengthen compliance during Malaysia’s national e-invoicing rollout.
LGMS is Malaysia’s first pure-play publicly listed cybersecurity firm with international credentials including PCI ASV, QSA and 3DS assessor certifications, alongside CREST accreditation for penetration testing. Today, its clientele spans major corporations, government agencies and SMEs across sectors from banking to manufacturing in Malaysia and the wider region.
