Adapting doesn ’ t just mean buying modern technology but finding the right technology to avoid falling victim to ransomware and to counter the increasing risk of cyberattacks where cybercriminals knew the importance of data as part of compliance regulations .
Dhipaya Insurance has been in business for 70 years and found much success in its ‘ Trust & Simple ’ concept . ‘ Trust ’ refers to the company ’ s strong shareholder structure , which includes the government sector and state enterprises , and ‘ Simple ’ means enabling customers with easy access to services through state-of-the-art technology .

We need a solution that can safeguard our data and keep business operation risk at a minimum .”
