In 2018, Jean Le Bouthillier, a former military helicopter pilot, recognized a critical gap in cybersecurity that traditional tools were failing to address. Organizations were losing visibility of their sensitive data as workforces became increasingly distributed and cloud adoption accelerated. The tools built for on-premises security were struggling to keep pace with modern data flows, creating dangerous blind spots that enterprises couldn't afford. This realization sparked the founding of Qohash - a company dedicated to developing world-class data security solutions that could operate effectively in today's complex digital landscape. From those initial insights, Qohash has evolved into a leader in data security software development, delivering innovative and user-friendly security technologies that provide businesses with unprecedented visibility and control over their sensitive data. The company rapidly scaled its operations from its headquarters in Quebec City, expanding into the U.S. market to serve financial institutions and other data-sensitive organizations. Today, Qohash's mission remains focused on protecting the world's most sensitive data through its Qostodian platform, which helps organizations track high-risk files, reduce oversharing, and accelerate their adoption of emerging technologies like generative AI - all while maintaining continuous oversight of their security posture.

Marina Bay Sands has stood as an architectural marvel and the crown jewel in Singapore's skyline.

Since its opening in 2010, Marina Bay Sands has transformed from a bold vision into Singapore's most iconic landmark, featuring three 55-story towers crowned by the revolutionary SkyPark. As one of the largest players in hospitality with over 10,000 team members, Marina Bay Sands is dedicated to being a good corporate citizen to serve its people, communities, and environment. It drives social impact through its community engagement programme, Sands Cares, and leads environmental stewardship through its global sustainability programme, Sands ECO360.

Marina Bay Sands is the largest hotel in Singapore to be certified to the Global Sustainable Tourism Council Industry Criteria for Hotels and Accommodations, while its Expo & Convention has been named Venue of the Year at the Singapore MICE Awards for two consecutive years.

Globeleq operates utility-scale power infrastructure across Africa, managing 1,794 MW of operational capacity through 17 power plants in seven countries, with another 683 MW under construction. Since 2002, the company has built a portfolio spanning gas generation, wind, solar PV, battery energy storage systems, and geothermal - backed by British International Investment and Norfund. With nearly 2,000 employees and regional offices in Abidjan, Cairo, Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, Douala, Johannesburg, Maputo, and Nairobi, the company runs distributed operations across critical energy infrastructure that powers households and businesses continent-wide. The security stack reflects the complexity of protecting OT environments and multi-country operations: Azure Security and Microsoft 365 Defender anchor cloud posture, Azure Sentinel handles detection and response, Intune manages endpoints, and the network perimeter layers Palo Alto Networks, FortiGate, Juniper Networks, and Aruba Networks gear. IFS appears to handle enterprise resource planning - likely managing procurement, maintenance scheduling, and financial operations tied to plant operations. The threat surface spans SCADA/ICS systems at generation sites, corporate IT infrastructure distributed across eight African cities and London headquarters, supply chain coordination for construction projects, and regulatory compliance across multiple national jurisdictions. For security practitioners, the operational reality involves protecting physical generation assets that can't go offline for patching, securing remote sites with variable connectivity, managing identity and access across nearly 2,000 users in dispersed locations, and maintaining visibility into both IT and OT domains. The renewable portfolio positioning means growing attack surface as solar arrays and battery storage systems - increasingly software-defined and networked - scale alongside legacy gas infrastructure. The company claims 20.7 million tonnes of lifetime CO2 equivalent emissions avoided from renewable projects, underscoring the criticality of these systems to climate goals and the potential impact of disruption.
