Yubico’s Singapore headquarters will serve as a strategic global centre of excellence, housing supply chain, operations, sales, and administrative functions to support long-term regional growth, while investing in the development of local cybersecurity talent.  Yubico will work closely with organizations across government, financial services, technology, telecommunications, manufacturing and other critical infrastructure sectors to strengthen cybersecurity resilience in the region through hardware-backed authentication solutions, including YubiKeys and YubiKey as a Service.

“Yubico’s expansion underscores Singapore’s position as a trusted hub for companies to build capabilities in advanced technologies and deploy digital innovation,” comments Soo Haw Yun, Vice President, Global Enterprises, Singapore Economic Development Board.  “With rising AI adoption and strong growth potential in the region’s digital economy, Yubico’s expansion is timely.  We look forward to partnering with the company to develop our local talent and strengthen the digital security of enterprises and users in the region.”
 
Alvin Toh, director and vice president of supply chain operations in Asia Pacific, is heading Yubico’s Singapore office, with the support of Yubico’s global leadership team who will maintain a strong presence in the region to deepen partnerships, support customers and expand regional engagement as demand grows for phishing-resistant authentication.  Toh’s appointment comes after more than 12 years with Yubico, where he began as an engineer and continues to lead the company’s regional supply chain operations.
 
“Singapore offers a unique combination of global connectivity, highly skilled talent and a strong innovation ecosystem,” says Toh.  “Establishing our headquarters here allows us to work closer with organizations across Asia Pacific to advance modern authentication standards, regulations and improve cyber resilience.”
