ITSEC Asia President Director Wins CEO of the Year APAC 2025

JAKARTA (IndoTelko) - PT ITSEC Asia Tbk (IDX: CYBR) announced that its President Director, Patrick Dannacher, has been named CEO of the Year APAC 2025 in the Solution Provider category at The Fast Mode Awards 2025, held on 6 February 2026.

The award, presented by global telecom and technology media platform The Fast Mode, recognizes executive leaders who have demonstrated strong vision, consistent execution, and delivered measurable impact across the Asia Pacific technology and connectivity ecosystem.

The recognition highlights Dannacher’s role in leading ITSEC Asia’s strategic transformation from a point-solution cybersecurity vendor into a platform-led, telecom-grade cybersecurity and AI company delivering scalable services across Southeast Asia. The jury also acknowledged ITSEC Asia’s contribution to strengthening Indonesia’s national cyber resilience through the development of local capabilities and enhanced protection for critical sectors.

Under Dannacher’s leadership, ITSEC Asia successfully developed and commercialised the IntelliBroÅ„ Platform, the first cybersecurity platform fully designed and built in Indonesia. The platform combines AI-powered threat intelligence, automated incident response, and operational technology (OT) security to safeguard critical infrastructure, SMEs, and individual users, supporting stronger national and regional digital resilience.

At the same time, ITSEC Asia significantly strengthened its Managed Security Services portfolio by introducing continuous 24/7 monitoring, higher service-level standards, and more effective incident response and post-incident analysis. These enhancements have delivered tangible outcomes for customers, including faster threat detection, reduced incident escalation, and improved long-term trust across strategic industries.

Beyond commercial initiatives, ITSEC Asia has also contributed to Indonesia’s broader cyber resilience agenda through the development of local cybersecurity talent, protection of critical infrastructure, and long-term research initiatives such as post-quantum cryptography, helping organisations prepare for emerging risks in the quantum era.

Responding to the award, Patrick Dannacher said cybersecurity leadership goes beyond technology alone. According to him, trust, discipline, and accountability at scale are fundamental to protecting what matters most behind digital systems, including people, businesses, and national resilience. He reaffirmed ITSEC Asia’s commitment to strengthening Indonesia’s role within the regional cybersecurity ecosystem while delivering world-class security outcomes for clients.

The CEO of the Year award from The Fast Mode honours executives across APAC who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in driving innovation, regional expansion, and cross-border collaboration within the global telecom and technology landscape.

Over the past 12 months, Dannacher has led ITSEC Asia’s international expansion, growing the company’s footprint beyond Indonesia and building a team of more than 400 cybersecurity professionals across Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Mauritius, and Dubai.

Patrick Dannacher brings over 20 years of leadership experience spanning finance, private equity, and cybersecurity. A graduate of the University of Applied Sciences Basel, he began his career at STG Coopers and Lybrand AG before holding senior roles in financial institutions and investing in technology and cybersecurity ventures that form the foundation of ITSEC Asia’s long-term growth strategy.
