Industry veteran and Ensign founding team member Tammie Tham takes over from interim CEO Yeoh Keat Chuan to continue business expansion
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 25 September
2019 - Ensign InfoSecurity (Ensign),
one of Asia Pacific's largest pure-play cybersecurity firms, today announced
that it has appointed 19-year cybersecurity and IT industry veteran and
founding member of the Ensign team Ms Tammie Tham as Chief Executive Officer to
lead the company in its next phase of growth. Tammie (pictured right) takes
over from outgoing interim CEO Mr Yeoh Keat Chuan (KC), who remains on Ensign's
board of directors.
Tammie was until now Ensign's
Executive Vice President for its Enterprise & Services Group, where she
oversaw and managed Ensign's enterprise business portfolio. This portfolio
comprises bespoke cybersecurity services that include professional services,
designing and building of enterprise-wide cybersecurity solutions, and managed
security services.
Before joining Ensign, Tammie
was the CEO and founder of cybersecurity systems integrator Accel Systems &
Technologies. She has also held senior leadership roles at BT Frontline, IBM
and Netrust.
Tammie's appointment comes as
Ensign recently officially launched its global headquarters in Singapore and established a new
security operations centre. This
facility is powered by a proprietary Cyber Threat Detection & Analytics engine that provides Singapore-centric cyber threat intelligence to better protect public and private organisations in
Singapore and across Asia Pacific.
Home to 500 highly qualified cybersecurity professionals, Ensign is committed to helping organisations become
secure cyber-resilient digital companies. As a full-service
cybersecurity company and trusted advisor, Ensign combines analytics,
intelligence and high-end execution capabilities to protect firms against
evolving cyber threats and build resiliency while enabling them to navigate the
complex cybersecurity landscape with confidence.
Tammie said: "I'm honoured to
lead one of Singapore's most dynamic and homegrown cybersecurity firm. In the
past year, we have consolidated different leading firms into an integrated
end-to-end cybersecurity provider offering consulting, implementation and
managed services underpinned by our own R&D. Such integrations are never
easy and I would like to thank our Chairman and CEO for creating the right
environment for success through their leadership, resilience and guidance. I'm
looking forward to lead Ensign on to the next phase of its journey, where we
are able to cross-leverage our strengths and scale to provide holistic and
leading edge services to our customers. I'm also excited by the platform that
we will now be able to provide to transform our workforce as well as groom the
next generation of cybersecurity talent in Singapore."
Mr Lee Fook Sun, Chairman of Ensign, said: "Tammie has been working
closely with the executive team since Ensign was founded and she thoroughly
understands the company's purpose and capabilities. I have no doubt that her
astute business acumen, strong cybersecurity expertise and proven leadership
skills will sharpen Ensign's capabilities and strengthen our partnerships and
business relations with stakeholders.
KC said: "Ensign was
established to provide world-class cybersecurity capabilities to protect organisations
in a digital world. I know of no one better than Tammie to take the company forward
to become a leading cybersecurity player in Singapore and Asia Pacific."
