在网络安全威胁无处不在的时代，商业界特别容易受到攻击。一次网络攻击对企业的影响不仅是一时的，而且可能带来长期的危害。中小型企业（SME）面临着竞争优势、信用评级的潜在损失，以及由于系统性网络安全攻击或风险而导致的网络保险费增加。

Pixalink 首席执行官 Eddie Chong 先生（右二）称赞 FSeC-CaaS 无可挑剔的可服务性。陪同他的是 APU CIEO 教授 Vinesh Thiruchelvam（右三）； APU 研究与创新总监 Simon Scott 教授（右）； FSeC 负责人 Julia Juremi 博士（左三）；以及 Pixalink 的代表（左起）Moses Lau Yi Hieng 先生和 Ching Cheng Kang 先生。

鉴于积极采取网络安全措施的迫切需要，APU的取证与网络安全研究中心（FSeC）迈出了一大步。

FSeC 引入 CaaS ，旨在为中小企业提供经济实惠但高质量的咨询服务。该单位经过与马来西亚网络安全和马来西亚技术与创新研究加速器（MRANTI）讨论后成立，为行业导向的咨询服务设立了新标准。

率先领导的是APU首席创新与企业官员、FSeC 顾问 Prof. Ir. Eur. Ing. Ts. Dr. Vinesh Thiruchelvam。“FSeC-CaaS通过基于工业能力提供行业级专业咨询服务，展示了APU的学术实力，”  Vinesh 教授如此评论道。

FSeC-CaaS 的优势在于其专业的网络安全专业团队，并辅以来自 APU 网络安全学士和硕士学位课程的顶尖学生。该团队体现了 FSeC 对培养具有数字取证、网络安全和隐私方面实用技能的毕业生的承诺。

In an era where cybersecurity threats pervade every sector, the business community finds itself particularly vulnerable. The repercussions of a cyberattack on a business are not only immediate but can also cast a long-lasting shadow. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially at risk, facing potential losses in competitive advantage, credit rating, and increased cyber insurance premiums due to systematic cybersecurity attacks or risks.

Mr Eddie Chong (2nd from right) CEO of Pixalink, lauded FSeC-CaaS for its impeccable serviceability. He is accompanied by Prof Vinesh Thiruchelvam (3rd from right), CIEO of APU; Prof Simon Scott (right), Director of Research & Innovation of APU; Dr Julia Juremi (3rd from left), Head of FSeC; and Pixalink’s delegates (from left) Mr Moses Lau Yi Hieng and Mr Ching Cheng Kang.

Recognising the pressing need for proactive cybersecurity measures, the Forensics and Cyber Security Research Centre (FSeC) at the Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) has taken a bold step.

Introducing ‘Cybersecurity as a Service’ (CaaS), a commercial response unit, FSeC aims to provide SMEs with a cost-effective yet high-quality consultancy service. This unit, established after discussions with Cybersecurity Malaysia and the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation (MRANTI) regarding FSeC’s strength, has set a new standard in industry-oriented consultancy services.

Leading the charge is Professor Ir. Eur. Ing. Ts. Dr. Vinesh Thiruchelvam, APU’s Chief Innovation and Enterprise Officer, and the Advisor of FSeC. “FSeC-CaaS showcases APU’s academic prowess by delivering industry-level professional consultancy services based on industrial competency,” remarked Prof. Vinesh.

 Pixalink Sdn. Bhd.’s delegates led by its CEO Mr Eddie Chong (2nd from left, back row) visited the Forensics and Cyber Security Research Centre (FSeC) Cybersecurity as a Service (CaaS) team and interns at APU.

The startup recently achieved a milestone by completing a penetration test for its inaugural client, Pixalink Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian SME specialising in a cloud-based customer acquisition software called ‘Explore.’ The CEO of Pixalink, Mr Eddie Chong, lauded FSeC-CaaS for its “impeccable serviceability.”

FSeC-CaaS’s strength lies in its dedicated team of cybersecurity professionals complemented by top-performing students from APU’s Cybersecurity Bachelor and Master’s degree programmes. The team reflects FSeC’s commitment to nurturing graduates with practical skills in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and privacy.

The FSeC-CaaS team is made up of cybersecurity professionals, including Prof. Vinesh (left), Prof. Simon Scott (right), and Dr Julia Juremi (4th from the left), complemented by top-performing students from APU’s Cybersecurity Bachelor and Master’s degree programmes.

Venturing beyond academia, FSeC-CaaS offers a range of cybersecurity services to SMEs, including penetration testing, security audits, network configuration, and forensic analysis.
