Launching Security Venture from Midnight Chat
That is a snippet of the online chat
that Kwang Tat made with his
future CTO. It was sometime around midnight, and
the year was 1999. Kwang Tat had just logged
into mainframe computer at NUS. In those days,
students in the Accelerated Masters programme in
Computer Science had the privilege of keeping
their accounts for over a year after graduation.
The two friends met up and worked out a business
plan. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
Today, the
high-tech venture that the friends set up has
made news as a provider of online security in
ubiquitous facilities such as the nation-wide
Wireless@sg and public-access Internet kiosks at
Changi International Airport.
