May the traditional new year “Maha Songkran”. It’s time of laughter, lucky, lovely and more good things bring to you

Congratulation with ATGsys for grand opening new office in Bangkok, Thailand 🎉🎉 Keep walking together

Yip In Tsoi outlines raft of ambitious plans Yip In Tsoi, a leading system integrator, will focus on a new business growth area this year that includes cybersecurity, data analytics, business transformation, and cloud and infrastructure services to ride on the wave of an emerging fifth industrial revolution.

A basket full of smile, joy, warm wishes and abundance sent to you … our dear partner and costomer. Happy Chinese New Year 🧧 ⭐️✨

This we’re focused on the rising threat of compromised credentials — the number one root cause of cyberattacks.

How can you protect yourself and your organizations from data theft? Remember the power of ‘no.’ Just because a site asks you for your birthday, for instance, doesn't mean they need it. If a site or service doesn't have your information, they can't lose it or accidentally disclose it.
