TR: Why are you launching a separate cybersecurity company now? And how does Cytek’s offering differ from what YNV Group offered previously? LL: While we’ve been providing cybersecurity solutions aligned to our digital skilling and technical support brands, we saw a need to provide more holistic cybersecurity services focused on helping clients augment and optimise their cybersecurity capabilities through advisory, implementation and managed services.

TR: Have you acquired your cybersecurity expertise organically or through acquisition? LL: We have built our cybersecurity expertise organically, primarily through the recruitment of cybersecurity experts.
