Joanie Ko has extensive expertise in cybersecurity and data privacy. She assists clients in managing issues related to ransomware attacks, network intrusions and data breaches. She is based in Hong Kong.
She is fluent in Cantonese, which is an advantage as she can jump into speaking Cantonese for local companies in Hong Kong. When she opens her mouth people know they are dealing with experience.
