MALAYSIA’S leading cybersecurity firm LGMS Bhd is expanding its partner ecosystem in response to growing demand for its flagship StarSentry cybersecurity solution, a first-of-its-kind offering that redefines how businesses detect and neutralise cyber threats.
Unlike conventional cybersecurity tools that primarily focus on external attacks, StarSentry is designed to address critical gaps in enterprise security by detecting lateral movements — the stealthy internal navigation hackers use before launching an attack.
“StarSentry which caters for businesses of all sizes – from SMEs to large enterprises – stands out as the only solution tailored for organisations’ vulnerabilities without compromising on quality,” commented LGMS’ executive chairman Fong Choong Fook.
“Businesses continue to leverage StarSentry’s advanced threat detection to identify early signs of intrusion, providing valuable insights into potential breaches before they escalate.”
StarSentry is proactive, not reactive
StarSentry changes the game by identifying hidden malicious activities before they escalate, explained Fong. Here’s how it works:
- Advanced Security Scanning: This feature conducts routine security scans to ensure businesses have clear visibility of lurking threats. It then helps implement effective preventive measures to reduce exposure.
- ‘Honeypot’ concept and ‘Deception as Defence’ strategy: StarSentry disguises itself as a high-value target, tricking hackers into revealing their presence. This approach attracts malicious actors, allowing the system to detect and neutralise threats before real damage occurs.
With StarSentry, businesses receive early warning signals, thus empowering them to take proactive action against cyber threats before they escalate into costly attacks.
“It goes beyond traditional cybersecurity solutions and serves as a ‘watchtower’ for businesses by ensuring they stay one step ahead of hackers in an increasingly digital world,” revealed Fong.
“StarSentry’s honeypot technology creates a decoy environment, luring hackers into engaging with fake assets. The moment they interact with the trap, they are flagged as threats thus allowing businesses to neutralise them before any real damage occurs.”
In addition, StarSentry’s Endpoint Protection Solution provides essential protection against cyber threats which is complemented by RM30,000 worth of cyber risk insurance to ensure businesses can recover swiftly from incidents, minimising downtime and operational disruptions.
Strengthening LGMS’ partner network
To meet growing demand, LGMS is expanding its partner network to drive StarSentry’s adoption across all states in Malaysia.
“By collaborating with partners who can add value through complementary services, we aim to provide businesses with integrated cybersecurity solutions tailored to their specific needs,” enthused Fong.
This strategic expansion ensures wider accessibility and reinforces LGMS’s mission to empower businesses of all sizes with robust cyber defences.
In a move to further enhance its market presence, LGMS has introduced the first cloud-based version of StarSentry, designed for businesses seeking scalable, flexible cybersecurity solutions.
Even before its official launch, the cloud version has already secured its first clients, reflecting strong market confidence.
Additionally, LGMS plans to roll out an enterprise-grade version of StarSentry later this year to cater to the complex security needs of large organisations.
“We will also be announcing various product launches throughout the year,” projeced Fong. “The solutions are currently undergoing rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and security.”
At 4.23pm, LGMS was down 1 sen or 0.85% to RM1.17 with 179,300 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM534 mil. – Jan 22, 2025
