As a gateway to the Asia-Pacific region, the city offers unparalleled access to markets in Mainland China and Southeast Asia, which aligns perfectly with our growth strategy."

He added, "Hong Kong's strong legal framework, availability of skilled professionals, and extensive network of multinational businesses and local enterprises add further appeal to establish our presence here. We will use the Hong Kong office to drive the development of innovative solutions that protect sensitive information and support businesses in navigating an increasingly digital and interconnected world."
