The relaunched company is targeting growth by four times in the next four years, on a quest to establish itself as Asia-Pacific’s leading cyber security player.
“Following the relaunch, our new brand identity, renewed business focus and increased investments will bolster Quann’s capabilities to address the region’s growing need for cyber security services. This positions us well to achieve our ambition of four-fold growth by 2020 and become Asia-Pacific’s leading cyber security player,” said Foo Siang-tse, Managing Director, Quann.
e-Cop was a homegrown Managed Security Services Provider and a business unit of Singapore’s leading security organization Certis CISCO.
“Security is in our DNA and we provide a unique value proposition to our clients. By combining cutting-edge technologies with the skills, insights and experience of our cyber security professionals, we are able to provide organizations with comprehensive and customized security solutions, which are underpinned by robust processes and resilient infrastructure,” said Foo Siang-tse, Managing Director, Quann..
The company has now relaunched as Quann – pronounced “kwan” as in the word “quantity”.
The initiative comes with the expansion of its security offerings and next-generation Security Operations Centers (SOCs), as well as investments in manpower development.
This will enable Quann to expand its current regional footprint across Asia-Pacific and beyond.
The relaunch also introduces a new logo and tagline, which represent Quann’s business focus and objectives.
The logo symbolises the continuous circle of protection afforded to customers.

It is instead having a parallel online promotion from 10 – 18 March at www.starhub.com/big-sale.
Consumers can look for deals such as S$200 phone discounts with free delivery and free six-month subscription to multi-service HomeHub Go and selected broadband plans.

With the new offer, subscribers of StarHub’s “4G 3” plan can enjoy 6GB data bundle at a slightly increased monthly subscription rate of S$45.90.
Previously, a “4G 6” subscription plan would have set consumers back S$102.90 every month, although the plan does offer more local talktime and SMS.
StarHub will reach out to customers who signed up for one of these StarHub 4G plans on 10 March and offer them this data upsize option.
From tomorrow, customers can sign up for this offer at any of the 48 StarHub retail outlets across the island.
