EY teams serve a diverse range of clients from financial services, government, and commercial organizations. As IDC has highlighted, EY cyber managed services bring leading capabilities to each client in the region by offering flexible services, tailored to individual needs. We’re proud to be recognized by IDC as a leader in Asia-Pacific in these two studies.
