Everything is digital nowadays. Our professional, personal, and financial lives have all begun to gravitate toward the world of the internet, mobile computing, and electronic media. Unfortunately, due to the prevalence of this phenomenon, we are more vulnerable than ever to malicious attacks, invasions of privacy, fraud, and other such annoyances.

That is why cybersecurity is such an important component of a secure and well-organised digital world. This also means that a strong approach to cybersecurity is no longer a “nice to have,” but rather a requirement for all businesses and organisations.

These days, LinkedIn has become a great place to go to get the latest cybersecurity news and events, connect with cybersecurity experts and raise your cybersecurity awareness. There are a number of “influencers,” constantly filling our feeds with flawless and fascinating glimpses into the complex and diverse world of cybersecurity, it’s easy to get lost bouncing from one profile to the next.

But with so many popular accounts, who are the best influencers to be looking at? We’ve put together a top 10 of cybersecurity LinkedIn personalities of 2021 for you to follow, who have used the platform to effectively share valuable and insightful views on the topic.

Most importantly, they are based in the Southeast Asian region – which means their views on the topic would resonate with what many local individuals and organisations are going through, their unique challenges, and can definitely benefit a lot for those in this region.

Congratulations to those that made it onto this list. Without wasting any more time, let’s get to our list!

Every influencer on this list is a versatile and fascinating individual. They are all working hard to help people stay on top of the ever-changing digital world.

Experts in their own right, they’ve demonstrated a level of influence over consumer decisions that no one could have predicted. While there are many such experts available, these ten are our top picks. And we have more to offer based on our previous year’s picks, which you can check out below.  

Whether your company is large or small, you must have cybersecurity measures in place to protect not only your intellectual property but also your customers’ data.

Prevention is better than cure, and having a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy in place is critical for all businesses.

Relying solely on anti-virus software will not keep cybercriminals out of your business. However, educating employees on how to make smart cyber defensive choices can significantly reduce the likelihood of cyber risks.

So, if you’re looking for some inspiration or want to get started on your cybersecurity journey, reach out to one of these experts! Once again, major congrats to the influencers that have made it onto this list.
