Yubico opens 3rd global HQ in Singapore to lead APAC cyber defense

This is in addition to existing headquarters in Sweden and USA.

Yubico has established a third global headquarters in Singapore to expand its Asia-Pacific presence and support regional customers, according to a press release.

Jerrod Chong, Acting Chief Executive Officer at Yubico, said organisations in the region face new national regulations for identity protection. The expansion aims to support leaders in government, financial services, technology, telecommunications, and manufacturing. 

The Singapore site joins existing headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, and Santa Clara, USA. 

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) is partnering with Yubico to develop talent. Soo Haw Yun, EDB Vice President, noted that the expansion aligns with growth in the digital economy and adoption of artificial intelligence.

Alvin Toh leads the Singapore office as Director and Vice President of Supply Chain Operations. Toh began his 12-year tenure at the company as an engineer.

Members of the global leadership team will maintain a regional presence to manage partnerships and meet demand for phishing-resistant authentication.

Yubico’s Secure it Forward programme provides hardware keys to groups including BuildingBloCS, BlahajCTF, and GIIS Tech Club. Partnerships with schools and universities aim to cultivate cybersecurity talent in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
