The recognition of LGMS Berhad as the ‘Leading Cybersecurity Company in Malaysia’ at the prestigious BusinessToday Industry Choice Award 2025 is far more than a corporate accolade—it is the affirmation of a two-decade-long commitment to integrity, independence, and technical excellence.
For the team at LGMS, this deep honour is a powerful testament to their hard work and dedication, and it profoundly reflects the trust placed in them by their clients and partners. This award validates the firm’s core mission: to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in a field where impartiality is paramount.
Defining Factors And A Milestone Year
Established in 2005, LGMS was founded with the vision of becoming a trusted, neutral, and professional cybersecurity services provider. Now, as the company celebrates its 20th anniversary, this vision has been realised, positioning it as one of the most recognised names in the region for world-class penetration testing, compliance, and digital forensics services.
The distinguishing factor that secured this top honour lies in LGMS’s unwavering commitment to independence. Unlike providers who dilute their focus by reselling products, LGMS maintains a strictly neutral stance, focusing solely on providing unbiased assessments and advisory. This positions them as a trusted, objective partner in a complex threat landscape.
Industry Firsts
The company’s consistent track record is backed by numerous industry firsts that underscore its technical capability and culture of professionalism. LGMS was the first CREST-accredited penetration testing firm in Malaysia, the first Malaysian cybersecurity company to be listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2022, and the first and only in the country to attain all three major PCI credentials (ASV, QSA, and PCI 3DS Core Security Standard Assessor). Earlier this year, this standing was further cemented by their recognition as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Retainer Services (2025).
This milestone year has also been marked by several key achievements:
- Strategic Acquisition: Evolving an MoU into a long-term partnership with Antarex Holdings Sdn Bhd to enhance AI-driven cybersecurity across the region.
- Innovation: The successful rollout of StarSentry, Malaysia’s first plug-and-play cyber risk scanning solution, spearheaded by wholly-owned subsidiary ASI, empowering businesses of all sizes to strengthen their security posture.
- Talent Development: The ongoing ASI Cybersecurity Cadet Programme, actively nurturing the next generation of Malaysian cybersecurity professionals.
Sustaining Success Through Strategic Focus
To build on this foundation of excellence and potentially secure continued recognition, LGMS is focused on several strategic directions:
- Expanding Incident Response Leadership: Leveraging the Gartner® recognition to deepen their global positioning as a trusted digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) partner, particularly within cyber insurance response chains and as a panel responder for international and domestic law firm partners.
- Strengthening Core Services: Continuously enhancing their capabilities in penetration testing, compliance, and digital forensics, ensuring all services remain benchmarked against the highest international standards.
- Investing in Innovation & Talent: Prioritising R&D, product innovation, and growing local talent pipelines through industry collaborations to ensure Malaysia develops the next generation of cybersecurity leaders.
- Regional Expansion: Scaling operations across Southeast Asia to meet growing demand in regulated and international markets. The expertise in compliance and advisory, coupled with the strategic acquisition of Antarex Holdings, will accelerate this regional outreach.
LGMS’s strategy is not just about sustaining success; it is about consistently raising the bar for cybersecurity standards across the region. By remaining synonymous with trust, professionalism, and innovation, LGMS reinforces its role as a critical pillar of Malaysia’s digital resilience.
