SINGAPORE, Jan. 22. 2025 – OPSWAT, a global leader in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions, today announced its collaboration with Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education (ITE) as a technology partner of Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME) at the AI Festival Asia 2026. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to elevating cybersecurity capabilities among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), particularly in Operational Technology (OT) and critical systems security.
Through this partnership, OPSWAT will work closely with ITE and ASME to support cybersecurity-focused initiatives, providing SMEs with access to practical insights, technologies, and expertise to better safeguard their digital and operational environments. The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between advanced cybersecurity practices and the real-world needs of SMEs operating in increasingly complex threat landscapes.
This partnership is about turning cybersecurity from a barrier into a business enabler for SMEs. By working with ITE and ASME, we’re helping organisations translate cybersecurity best practices into practical, actionable outcomes.
As part of the engagement, OPSWAT will provide its industry-leading OT cybersecurity knowledge and solutions to support applied learning, demonstrations, and knowledge-sharing activities conducted in collaboration with ITE. These initiatives are designed to help SMEs understand emerging cyber risks, adopt best practices, and build practical capabilities to protect their business operations and critical assets.
The collaboration brings together OPSWAT’s global cybersecurity expertise, ITE’s strengths in technical education and skills development, and ASME’s industry network, creating a platform for meaningful engagement between technology providers, educators, and SMEs. As cybersecurity is no longer just a large-enterprise concern, this partnership reflects a shared vision to build a stronger, more cyber-resilient SME ecosystem through collaboration, capability building, and practical innovation with the aim of empowering SMEs to strengthen their resilience and competitiveness in the digital economy.
