Kaspersky Bangladesh announced on Sunday, November 9, that the appointment took effect on October 21.

Commenting on his new role, Simon Tung said:

Kaspersky’s global expertise and strong technology solutions give us an advantage in tackling cyber threats. I am delighted to lead the team in this region and develop new partnerships. My goal is to strengthen our team, enhance partner relationships, and tailor cybersecurity solutions to meet real business needs while bringing Kaspersky’s global experience into localized action.”

He further added:
“We are committed to increasing investment and partnerships in the region over the next three years, alongside expanding the reach of our cybersecurity solutions. Simon Tung’s strategic vision and practical experience will help advance these efforts.
