Singapore News: Dr. Magda Chelly, a Cybersecurity Expert Earns a Spot on the SG100WIT List

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, few have left an indelible mark as swiftly and prominently as Dr. Magda Chelly, Managing Director of Responsible Cyber. Her meteoric rise and unparalleled contributions to the tech realm have been recognized as she is celebrated among the prestigious ‘Top 100 Women in Tech‘ by the Singapore Computer Society (SCS) and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

Launched to laud the phenomenal women steering the tech industry’s dynamic course, the SG100WIT list unveiled its third edition on September 1. In a commendable initiative to diversify the tech narrative, this year’s iteration encompassed a broader spectrum of “women in tech.” From tech policy-makers and regulators to stalwarts from sectors like semiconductor, biotechnology, and aeronautics, the list paints a vibrant picture of the multifaceted roles women play in driving technological advancements.

Receiving an overwhelming 800 nominations, a substantial uptick of almost a third from its previous edition, the 2023 SG100WIT list stands as a testament to the burgeoning recognition and reverence of women’s capabilities in technology.

What sets Dr. Chelly apart is not merely her deep-rooted expertise but her visionary leadership at Responsible Cyber. As the linchpin behind the SaaS product focused on third-party risk management, called IMMUNE X-TPRM, she has been pivotal in showcasing how a Singaporean start-up can not only foster innovation but redefine the paradigms of cyber security, and risk management.

“Being recognized in the SG100WIT list is not just a personal accolade, but a testament to the collective strength and potential of every woman in tech. It serves as a reminder that when we innovate, lead, and uplift each other, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.”
