CYBERSECURITY is not only one of the Asia-Pacific's quickest-growing markets - set to hit US$30 billion by 2020 - it is increasingly also a "hip and exciting" sector for technology graduates and professionals, said Paul Chong, president and chief executive of Singapore-based Certis Cisco Security.

He was speaking to The Business Times on Monday on the sidelines of the relaunch of e-Cop, a Certis Cisco and Temasek-owned cybersecurity startup now known as Quann.
