Rockwell Automation Expands SecureOT Managed Services to Support Fortinet Firewalls and Existing Customer Infrastructure

Rockwell Automation, Inc. — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:15:56 +0900

New offerings help manufacturers secure and maintain OT environments regardless of existing infrastructure investments

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced two new additions to its SecureOT™ industrial cybersecurity solution suite: Firewall Managed Services with Fortinet and Infrastructure Managed Services. The new offerings give manufacturers greater flexibility in how they secure and manage operational technology (OT) environments, with support for Fortinet firewalls and existing customer-owned infrastructure.

As cyber threats targeting industrial operations continue to increase and skilled OT security resources remain difficult to source, manufacturers are looking for new ways to strengthen resilience without adding complexity. Rockwell's latest research found that cybersecurity now ranks among manufacturers' top external business risks, reflecting growing concern as IT and OT environments become more connected. The new services provide around-the-clock monitoring, maintenance and professional management designed to help manufacturers reduce risk, improve resiliency and sustain uptime.

Firewall Managed Services with Fortinet
Rockwell's Firewall Managed Services now supports Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, extending the service to a broader range of standard hardware options available for customers. FortiGate firewalls bring high-performance security to OT environments with cost-effective scalability across sites, advanced threat detection backed by FortiGuard Labs OT threat data, and lower total cost of ownership than many alternatives.

Under this service, Rockwell manages Fortinet firewalls on the customer's behalf, handling monitoring, alarm management, rule change management, patching and firmware updates. Customers get a single point of contact for the health and maintenance of their firewall. The goal is simplicity: one managed service contract, one professional team and one less thing to worry about.

Infrastructure Managed Services
Infrastructure Managed Services delivers a scalable, fully managed solution designed to strengthen operational resiliency across industrial network and compute environments. By combining 24/7 global support and secure monitoring with hardware lifecycle management, the solution helps industrial organizations maintain high availability and uptime, reduce cyber risks and decrease operating costs. Infrastructure Managed Services offers turnkey solutions to manage defensible architectures, including Industrial Data Centers (IDC), VersaVirtual™ Appliance (VVA), firewalls and network switches.

The managed services have now expanded to help organizations manage existing infrastructure they already own, including servers, virtualization platforms, switches and backup systems from vendors, such as Fortinet. This is designed for manufacturers who have already invested in their infrastructure but want Rockwell's operational experience managing it going forward.

"Manufacturers need cybersecurity solutions that fit their operations, not the other way around," said Aaron White, global capability manager, infrastructure managed services, Rockwell Automation. "Whether they're standardizing on Fortinet firewalls or looking for professional support managing infrastructure they've already deployed, these SecureOT services provide the flexibility and industry experience needed to help secure critical operations and maintain uptime."

Both Firewall Managed Services with Fortinet and Infrastructure Managed Services are available now as part of Rockwell's SecureOT solution suite, which helps manufacturers assess, protect and continuously improve their OT security posture.

Currie & Brown research: uncertainty adds almost $2 trillion to global construction costs

Currie & Brown — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:05:12 +0900

Annual Construction Certainty Index reveals how higher-maturity organisations are building resilience through disruption

LONDON, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uncertainty has added an average 12.4% to construction project pipeline costs globally over the past year. Applied to forecast global construction spending, that equates to almost US$2 trillion in 2026.

The findings come from Currie & Brown's annual Construction Certainty Index, based on a survey of more than 1,300 construction and infrastructure decision-makers across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Confidence has fallen in meeting every project target. Fewer than half of organisations (46%) are now confident they can meet deadlines. Only 40% are confident about staying within budget – falls of 12 and 14 percentage points respectively from last year.

Material cost inflation has a high impact on project delivery for 70% of respondents, followed by energy price volatility (64%) and supply chain disruption (59%). Organisations expect most risks to intensify further.

The consequences are already visible. On average, respondents report that 30% of projects have been delayed over the past year and 27% descoped. A further 31% of potential projects have not started or progressed beyond planning because of uncertainty.

Dr Alan Manuel, Group Chief Executive Officer at Currie & Brown, said: "Organisations can't afford to lurch from one crisis to the next or simply wait for calmer conditions. Those that are resilient to uncertainty share common characteristics. They're investing in the people, technology and data that enable them to gain an earlier, clearer view of where they are exposed – and the judgement and skills they need to take action."

The research identifies a distinct group of 'higher-maturity' organisations that follow this approach. Representing 32% of respondents, they invest strategically in AI, digital technology, data analytics, sustainability, skills and training.

These organisations are considerably more confident of meeting their targets. Almost six in ten (58%) are confident they will meet project deadlines, compared with 41% of the rest of the sample. They also experience fewer severe impacts from uncertainty.

Delivering through disruption: Currie & Brown Construction Certainty Index explores the drivers and impact of uncertainty and how organisations can build resilience.

About Currie & Brown

Currie & Brown is a world-leading project management, cost management and advisory services firm. We help clients deliver with certainty across every sector and stage of the project lifecycle.

Cognizant Selected by SITA to Deliver AI-Led Global Finance Transformation on the Cloud

Cognizant Technology Solutions — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:02:33 +0900

Collaboration will help SITA create a Frontier Finance function - data-driven, innovative and focused on growth and measurable business value - using AI and new ways of working

AMSTERDAM and GENEVA, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) today announced that it has been selected by SITA, the world's leading specialist in air transport technology, as the implementation and transformation partner for SITA's SKY program. The groupwide, finance-led initiative will help SITA implement a modern cloud platform across finance, procurement and supply chain processes, designed to deliver measurable business value across SITA's global operations in more than 200 countries and territories.

The transformation is designed to move finance beyond reporting and operational processing, establishing it as a more strategic, growth-focused partner to the business. Cognizant will work with SITA to implement a cloud-based ERP and management platform spanning planning, performance, project management and procurement. By connecting these functions through a shared data foundation, consistent ways of working and AI-led insights, SITA aims to strengthen planning, identify opportunities earlier and align resources more closely with its growth priorities.

Cognizant's AI-first approach combines deep finance transformation expertise with generative AI implementation agents, informed by intellectual property developed through more than 800 cloud ERP projects. It draws on embedded platform AI capabilities and custom agents built using Cognizant's agentic AI capabilities to embed intelligence into planning, forecasting, project management and day-to-day finance activities — helping SITA accelerate delivery and put AI to work across live finance, procurement and project management processes.

"SITA's SKY program is a transformation program aimed at delivering strong business outcomes," said Nicolas Husson, Chief Financial Officer at SITA. "By standardizing core processes on Oracle Fusion Cloud and building AI into how we operate, we aim to create a more agile finance organization and a strong foundation for our next phase of growth."

"SITA plays a critical role in the global air transport ecosystem, and its growth requires an enterprise platform that can scale with the business, with technology and AI serving the strategy rather than defining it," said Saket Gulati, Senior Vice President and Head of Northern Europe at Cognizant. "By bringing together our cloud platform expertise, AI capabilities and end-to-end transformation experience, we will help SITA build a modern data and operating model foundation, embed new ways of working, and help translate technology investment into growth and measurable business value."

"Enterprise platforms are the backbone of how global organizations run, and SITA's SKY program is a great example of what's possible when that backbone is rebuilt for an AI-first world," said Roshan Subudhi, SVP and Head of Global Markets- Intelligent Enterprise Platforms at Cognizant. "By combining Agentic AI capabilities and our Oracle Fusion expertise, we're not just modernizing systems — we're helping SITA reimagine how finance, procurement and supply chain teams work together, so the business can move faster and make smarter decisions at scale."

CyberLogitec Brings Tag-Free Collision Prevention to Busan New Port

CyberLogitec — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 16:35:18 +0900

Digital twin places workers and straddle carriers on a single map at BNCT

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CyberLogitec has deployed an AI-based collision prevention system at Busan New Container Terminal ("BNCT"), operator of Terminal 5 at Busan New Port, that detects workers without wearable tags and alerts straddle carrier drivers when a worker is close by in the same working lane.

The deployment comes as the industry focuses on vehicle–pedestrian safety. ICHCA International ranks pedestrians run over by vehicles, particularly by handling equipment, as a close second among the causes of cargo-handling fatalities, and in August 2026 PEMA, TT Club and ICHCA International jointly called for stronger collision-prevention measures across terminals.

At the core of the system is CyberLogitec's digital twin-based real-time port monitoring platform, which places people and equipment on a single coordinate system. AI cameras on the STS cranes detect workers, and a patent-pending vision-to-geolocation technique, developed jointly by CyberLogitec and GlobeAI, converts each detection into real-world coordinates. These are combined with RTK positions from straddle carriers, so the distance between any worker and any machine can be calculated in real time. The system locates people without identifying them.

To avoid nuisance alarms, the system applies lane-aware logic, evaluating distance only when a carrier and a worker share the same working lane. Alerts are tiered at 15, 10 and 5 metres and shown to drivers as directional bars on the in-cab display. In field validation, equipment positioning was accurate to under 3 centimetres and worker localisation to under 20 centimetres.

"Under an STS crane, a colleague working safely in the next lane is often only a few metres away," said Dr Junhee Cho, Digital Team Leader at CyberLogitec, who led development. "If alarms sound all shift for no reason, drivers switch the system off. The measure of a safety system is not how much it catches, but whether people keep trusting it."

Worker detection uses GlobeAI's deep-learning vision, trained on port imagery to perform in clutter, low light, fog and rain. Equipment positioning uses LG Uplus's RTK network, which draws on more than 200 reference stations across Korea to overcome signal interference from steel container stacks. RTK receivers are fitted to around 70 mobile units, and 28 AI cameras are installed on 14 STS cranes.

In the control room, a 3D Virtual Terminal allows operators to monitor the site, replay past events to investigate near-misses and maintain an auditable alert history. The platform is integrated with the OPUS Terminal operating system and can be extended to terminal tractors and other mobile equipment.

"The hard part was locating a worker who carries no device, against the same reference as a machine moving with centimetre precision," said Hans Moh, Senior Vice President and Head of CyberLogitec's Port Solution Group. "How many boxes a terminal moves in a day matters less than whether everyone goes home safely."

"Safety is never open to compromise and remains our highest priority," said Chris Choi, CEO and Representative Director of BNCT. "Through our collaboration with CyberLogitec, we have further strengthened our prevention-focused approach to safety management. We will continue to proactively manage operational risks and provide a safer working environment for everyone working at the terminal."

CyberLogitec plans to extend the solution to other ports in Korea and overseas.

CHANDO Group Presents 20 Research Papers at IFSCC 2026 Congress in Perth

CHANDO GROUP — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:06:48 +0900

12 years of participation underscore the Group's growing presence in global cosmetics science

SHANGHAI and PERTH, Australia, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 36th Congress of the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) was held in Perth, Australia, from September 28 to October 1. Building on its continued investment in skin science, ingredient science and product science, CHANDO Group participated in the global scientific gathering for the 12th consecutive year. A record 20 CHANDO Group research papers were accepted for this year's Congress, placing the Group among the top five companies worldwide by number of accepted papers.

The IFSCC is widely regarded as the "Nobel Prize of the cosmetics industry," with the research it recognizes reflecting the latest advances in cosmetic science and technology worldwide. Since first participating in 2015, CHANDO Group has had 79 research papers accepted by IFSCC over 12 years, helping bring Chinese beauty innovation to the forefront of the international scientific community. This track record reflects the comprehensive innovation ecosystem developed by CHANDO Group's R&D Center over the past 25 years. The Group's research spans three core scientific disciplines and is supported by four technology platforms, with capabilities extending from fundamental research through product development. This integrated approach helps translate scientific advances into skincare innovations with tangible consumer benefits.

CHANDO Group Presents 20 Research Papers at IFSCC 2026 Congress

Fundamental Research Driven by Real Consumer Needs

CHANDO Group believes the value of fundamental research extends beyond scientific publications: ultimately, research must translate into products that address real consumer needs. Among the 20 research papers accepted for this year's IFSCC Congress, technologies from several studies have already been incorporated into products across multiple CHANDO Group brands. From Himalayan extremophile-derived ingredients and precision anti-fatigue aging to barrier repair, pigmentation management, scalp care, cleansing technology, fragrance and sensory science, and women's intimate care, the Group's research spans a broad range of skincare and personal well-being applications.

This work is supported by three core scientific disciplines. In skin science, research ranging from longitudinal cohort studies to epigenetic approaches to skin aging is deepening CHANDO Group's understanding of Asian skin. In ingredient science, the Group is exploring distinctive Himalayan resources to develop a portfolio of proprietary core ingredients. In product science, consumer needs guide the continued evolution of product efficacy. Each research effort starts with a real consumer need, investigates it through fundamental research, and ultimately translates the findings into products, bringing cutting-edge research into the daily lives of hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide.

From Population Insights to AI-Powered R&D: Advancing Precision "Anti-Fatigue Aging"

Skin aging is a perennial focus of skincare research, but how aging occurs—and how best to address it—varies among populations. At this year's IFSCC Congress, CHANDO Group presented its latest research conducted in collaboration with two leading Chinese institutions.

Historically, global skin-aging research has relied predominantly on Western study populations, leaving limited systematic longitudinal evidence on the characteristics, timing and contributing factors of skin aging among Chinese consumers. To help address this gap, CHANDO Group and the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a two-year longitudinal cohort study quantifying facial skin phenotypes in a Chinese population. The study systematically compared facial-aging phenotype data collected from more than 5,000 Chinese participants over the five-year period from 2018 to 2023 and identified changes in the aging inflection points of six major types of wrinkles. The findings showed that facial wrinkle aging among Chinese women in recent years has tended to begin earlier, progress more rapidly and enter a period of accelerated aging sooner. [1]

The study also identified trends toward shorter sleep duration and earlier initiation of smoking and alcohol consumption, suggesting an increase in fatigue-related lifestyle patterns. For the first time, the researchers quantified the differing effects of insufficient sleep, smoking and alcohol consumption on specific types of wrinkles [1], finding significant associations between multiple fatigue-related lifestyle factors and the earlier appearance of facial wrinkles. These findings not only add to scientific understanding of skin aging among Chinese consumers but also support a shift from generalized anti-aging approaches toward what CHANDO Group describes as "precision anti-fatigue aging"—targeted interventions informed by specific lifestyle factors and wrinkle types.

Building on these insights into aging among Chinese consumers, CHANDO Group has applied AI to reshape its ingredient R&D process. Conventional active-ingredient discovery often relies on experience-based screening, making it time-consuming and inefficient. In collaboration with the ACRDC R&D Center at the Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University, CHANDO Group established an AI-driven peptide discovery platform. Using AI-powered computational biology, the platform screened and optimized candidates from more than 2.8 million yeast proteins, ultimately identifying the new ingredient HiMurchaSin™ Super Anti-Aging Peptide. By targeting PGC-1α, a key regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism, the ingredient promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and energy production to support precision anti-fatigue aging. It has already been incorporated into the seventh generation of CHANDO's Super Anti-Aging Little Purple Bottle, launched in April 2026.

CHANDO Group is also expanding its research in longevity science. Its latest study identified, for the first time in the skin of Chinese women, the epigenetic regulator microRNA-1290 as a key epigenetic "switch" involved in photoaging-related telomere depletion. Following UV exposure, microRNA-1290 was significantly upregulated, weakening telomere protection and accelerating skin aging. Treatment with a Himalayan-derived HiMurchaSin filtrate + lysate significantly reversed this effect, helping protect telomeres and delay photoaging. The findings provide scientific support for the underlying anti-aging activity of HiMurchaSin™ and point toward a more targeted, epigenetic approach to addressing skin aging.

Harnessing Himalayan Resources for Sustainable Skincare Innovation

At this year's IFSCC Congress, CHANDO Group also presented its latest advances in ingredient science. The Himalayas are both the birthplace of the CHANDO brand and a foundation of its scientific research. Drawing on the region's distinctive extremophile resources, CHANDO has developed an integrated ingredient-development process spanning ecological resource exploration and collection, green process development and scientific efficacy validation.

From yeast extracellular vesicles and yeast-derived PDRN to Saussurea laniceps callus and rose extracellular vesicles, a growing portfolio of innovative ingredients sourced from the Himalayas is continually expanding the possibilities of skincare science.

Yeast was an early focus of this research. Using distinctive microbial resources from the Himalayas, CHANDO Group developed a sustainable yeast-derived PDRN ingredient. Conventional PDRN is typically derived from salmon sperm, while the molecular structure of CHANDO Group's yeast-derived PDRN more closely resembles human DNA and demonstrated stronger effects in promoting cell regeneration and collagen production. The ingredient has already been used in flagship products including CHANDO's Super Anti-Aging Little Purple Bottle Essence Cream and Peptide Essence Long-Wear Cushion Foundation.

Plant callus culture technology also offers a sustainable way to harness rare high-altitude plants. CHANDO Group has developed Saussurea laniceps callus as the world's first new skin-brightening ingredient derived from the Saussurea genus. Saussurea laniceps is a rare species native to high-altitude areas of the Himalayas and is classified in China as a nationally protected Class II endangered wild plant. With the required approval, CHANDO Group's plant-ingredient R&D team used plant tissue culture technology to cultivate the material in the laboratory, overcoming the limitations of reliance on wild harvesting while enabling standardized, scalable production. Research showed skin-brightening activity at multiple levels, including cellular and protein levels [2], with multi-target inhibition of melanin production as well as antioxidant and skin-repair effects. The approach addresses limitations associated with conventional brightening ingredients that rely on a single target or high concentrations. Extracellular vesicles derived from high-altitude Rosa callus also exhibit multiple skincare activities, including barrier repair, anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, and protection against photoaging and loss of firmness. In addition, Nardostachys callus has demonstrated superior oil-control, hair-loss prevention and hair-follicle nourishment effects compared with wild-grown Nardostachys [3].

This approach enables consistent, scalable production of highly active ingredients without harvesting wild plants. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important priority for the global beauty industry, CHANDO Group is using callus culture technology to develop effective skincare ingredients while reducing reliance on wild plant resources.

In pigmentation management, CHANDO Group has focused on Asian consumers' demand for safe, natural-looking skin brightening. A synergistic approach combining snow lotus callus with matsutake mushroom and niacinamide moves beyond conventional single-target brightening strategies, supporting gentler, more sustainable improvements in skin-tone evenness and radiance and providing a scientific basis for the development of safe and effective multi-ingredient brightening serums.

Beyond Facial Skincare: From Scalp Health to Fragrance and Sensory Science

CHANDO Group's research now extends well beyond facial skincare into a broader range of personal-care and wellness applications.

At this year's IFSCC Congress, the Group expanded its skin-science research into scalp care. Moving beyond conventional anti-hair-loss approaches based on broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity or a single probiotic, CHANDO Group proposed a new approach centered on maintaining microbial balance, using targeted modulation of the scalp microbiome to support anti-hair-loss efficacy. [4]

In women's intimate care, CHANDO Group presented research from its recent expansion into women's health. The Group investigated the use of probiotic extracellular vesicles to regulate the microbiome, exploring a gentle, safe and long-lasting approach to intimate care.

In facial and body cleansing, CHANDO Group addressed a familiar consumer concern: achieving effective cleansing without compromising the skin. The Group unveiled a new formulation technology combining a bicontinuous-phase system with selective cleansing to remove excess oils and impurities while preserving beneficial skin lipids. The concept positions cleansing not as the end of a skincare routine, but as its first step. The technology has already been applied across cleansing products from the CHANDO and Biorrier brands.

The research presented by CHANDO Group at this year's IFSCC Congress also extends into the growing field of fragrance and sensory science. Working with university researchers, the Group is exploring how fragrance can move beyond sensory appeal to deliver measurable functional benefits. Addressing fatigue-related concerns including poor sleep and low energy, the Group has drawn on its Himalayan research—from Nyingchi peach blossom to Himalayan fir—to scientifically evaluate the effects of fragrance ingredients and investigate their potential contribution to physical and emotional well-being.

Advancing Chinese Beauty Innovation Through Technology

At the 2025 IFSCC Congress in Cannes, France, Chinese companies ranked second worldwide in oral presentations and first in poster presentations. That same year, China secured the right to host the 2032 IFSCC Congress, reflecting the growing international profile of Chinese cosmetics research.

As a leading Chinese beauty company with 12 years of participation in IFSCC, CHANDO Group has both witnessed and contributed to this evolution. From its first accepted paper to its 79th, and from Himalayan extremophile resources to AI-driven precision R&D, the Group has continued to bring original Chinese cosmetics research to the international scientific community through an integrated, independently developed R&D system.

CHANDO Group's R&D Center combines independent research with global collaboration across fundamental research, ingredient development, formulation innovation and clinical validation, with a focus on three core disciplines: skin science, ingredient science and product science.

The acceptance of 20 CHANDO Group research papers at IFSCC 2026 in Perth marks another milestone in the Group's R&D journey. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to increase its investment in research and development and pursue original scientific breakthroughs as it contributes to the evolution of China's beauty industry from "Made in China" to "Created in China."

The collaboration brings together JLG Capital’s property investment/development capabilities as well as local market knowledge and a stakeholder network with KCMY’s expertise in modern cold-chain and automated storage facilities. The parties will also explore solutions across frozen, chilled, temperature-controlled and ambient-temperature storage.

As industrial and logistics requirements become increasingly technology-driven, the infrastructure supporting them must evolve in tandem. For cold-chain operations, this means moving beyond conventional storage towards facilities that can deliver greater capacity, efficiency and operational performance.

By integrating automation into specialized logistics infrastructure, the collaboration will explore how real estate can respond to these evolving requirements -- improving storage capacity and space utilization while enabling more efficient movement and management of goods. For JLG, this reflects a broader approach to real estate: creating infrastructure that enables industries to operate more effectively.

Datuk Sr. Akmal Ahmad, Group Managing Director of JLG, said:
"For us, the future of real estate is not only about where industries operate, but how well they can operate. This means looking beyond the physical asset and bringing together the right infrastructure, technology and expertise to help businesses become more efficient, resilient and competitive.

"Our collaboration with Kasumigaseki Capital reflects this approach. Together, we are exploring how advanced cold-chain infrastructure can respond to the evolving needs of Malaysia’s industries, improve operational performance and support the transition towards higher-value activities.

"Ultimately, we want the real estate and infrastructure solutions we create to deliver better outcomes for the businesses and people who use them. The value of real estate lies not simply in the spaces we develop, but in what those spaces enable industries and people to do better."

Under the MoU, both parties will evaluate potential joint ventures for the investment, development, ownership and operation of cold logistics and warehousing facilities, including frozen and chilled storage facilities and automated cold-storage warehouses as well as other opportunities within Malaysia’s cold-chain and automated storage sector.

JLG Capital will provide the local development platform to help translate these opportunities into viable projects, bringing together suitable land, market access, stakeholder coordination and financing facilitation, with the potential to leverage strategic growth platforms such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).

KCMY will bring specialized capabilities across the project lifecycle -- from planning and development to funding, leasing and operational management -- complemented by its international network of customers, logistics operators and strategic business partners.

Tomohiro Honma, Director and Executive Chairman of KCMY, said:
"Malaysia presents promising opportunities for modern, technology-enabled cold-chain infrastructure. By combining JLG Capital’s strong local market knowledge and development capabilities with Kasumigaseki Capital’s experience in advanced automated cold-storage development and operations, we see a strong foundation to explore potential projects together. We look forward to building a long-term relationship and creating shared value together."

The collaboration reflects JLG’s approach to pursuing partnerships that bring new capabilities and technology into the real estate ecosystem, aligned with the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and its drive towards greater technology adoption, productivity and higher-value industrial activities.

Docquity Extends Asian Healthcare Intelligence to Japan Through Deepened Strategic Partnership with exMedio

Docquity — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 14:50:55 +0900

Japan scale up advances Docquity's goal of Asian Healthcare Intelligence built on Clinical Intent, with Ask Dx as the core platform and "One Asia" linking physicians in Japan and Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Docquity, the clinical AI platform for more than 75% of verified doctors across Asia, today announced its scale up plan into Japan through a deepened strategic partnership with exMedio Inc., operator of the specialist physician communities Hematology Pro and Hipokura.

The move advances Docquity's goal of building Asian Healthcare Intelligence, grounded in Clinical Intent: what doctors across Asia need answered at the point of care.

DOCQUITY HOLDINGS PTE. LTD. and Docquity Japan G.K. have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with exMedio that places Ask Dx, Docquity's clinical AI assistant, at the core of the partnership. The MOU builds on a collaboration that began in 2025, when Docquity first offered Ask Dx to members of Hipokura, exMedio's clinical consultation community of more than 80,000 physicians. The relationship now moves from supplying an AI tool to building clinical support for Japanese physicians together, and to connecting physician communities in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Asian Healthcare Intelligence, built on Clinical Intent

Docquity's goal is an intelligence layer for healthcare in Asia, built from how doctors in the region practice. Its starting point is Clinical Intent: what a doctor is trying to resolve at the point of care, expressed in the questions they ask, the knowledge they look for and the peer discussions that interest them.

Ask Dx answers that intent for each doctor. Understood across markets and specialties, Clinical Intent shows where knowledge needs are greatest, so that medical education and clinical support can be directed to them.

Japan, with its established specialist physician communities, is one of Docquity's core markets in that effort.

Entering Japan with a specialist medical partner

Docquity is entering Japan through the communities' Japanese physicians already use. exMedio launched Hematology Pro in 2022, and more than 60% of Japan's hematologists are now members, making it one of the country's largest specialist communities. exMedio plans to extend that model from hematologic cancers to solid tumors.

The partnership pairs exMedio's specialist network and understanding of Japanese clinical practice with Docquity's clinical AI and its physician network across Asia. It will concentrate on knowledge sharing and clinical support in oncology, and services will be developed with feedback from physicians in Japan.

Ask Dx as the core platform

Ask Dx is the core platform of the partnership. It will be built into the places where physicians in exMedio's communities learn, consult peers and search for medical information, so that it works inside their daily clinical routines.

Combining Ask Dx with the experiential knowledge held in specialist communities is intended to give physicians fast, context-relevant access to the knowledge they need.

Specific services, features and launch timing will be announced separately.

One Asia: connecting Japan and Southeast Asia

One Asia is Docquity's vision for putting the knowledge and experience held in physician communities to use across borders. It connects the physician communities on which Asian Healthcare Intelligence is built. Under the MOU, Docquity and exMedio will explore exchange and knowledge sharing between physician communities in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Physicians across Asia share a challenge: keeping up with growing medical knowledge and applying it within different healthcare systems and practice settings. The partnership aims to create more opportunities for communities to exchange knowledge on shared clinical challenges, while respecting differences in language, healthcare systems and practice environments.

Over time, the companies will consider wider collaboration that includes universities and medical institutions.

Executive comments

Indranil Roychowdhury

CEO and Co-Founder, Docquity

"Our goal is Asian Healthcare Intelligence: clinical AI that understands what doctors in Asia are asking and helps them act on it. That starts with Clinical Intent, and Japan is central to it.

exMedio has built specialist communities that physicians in Japan rely on, and its understanding of clinical practice there is the foundation of this partnership. With Ask Dx at the core, we will work with exMedio to help physicians in Japan and Southeast Asia reach the knowledge they need faster and learn from one another across borders."

Keiji Sawada

Representative Director, President and Executive Officer, exMedio Inc.

"This MOU moves our relationship with Docquity from adopting an AI service to a stage where we combine our strengths to co-create new clinical support.

Going forward, we will extend the expertise we have built in hematology to solid tumors and, by combining it with Docquity's AI technology and Asian physician network, build a clinical support environment that gives physicians faster access to the knowledge they need."

Toshiba Showcases Quantum-Safe Protection for Critical Infrastructure and Government Networks with SpeQtral and HPE

Toshiba Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:56:26 +0900

Integrated solution strengthens IPsec VPN communications carrying sensitive data across data centre, cloud, and operational environments

SINGAPORE, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (TAPL), a subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation, today announced the successful validation of a quantum-safe communications solution developed in collaboration with SpeQtral and HPE, enabling Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) operators and government agencies to strengthen IPsec VPN connections against emerging quantum threats.

Building Trust in the Quantum Era

IPsec remains one of the most widely used protocols for securing sensitive communications across data centres, cloud environments and operational systems. As quantum computing advances, however, today's IPsec deployments face growing "harvest now, decrypt later" risks, where encrypted data captured today could be decrypted in the future. As a result, organisations are seeking crypto-agile, quantum-safe migration strategies that can strengthen protection while preserving existing network infrastructure.

Through the collaboration between Toshiba, SpeQtral and HPE, a validated quantum-safe solution integrates Toshiba's Quantum-secure Networking (QSN) Platform with HPE Networking SRX Next Generation Firewall, enabling organisations to introduce quantum-safe key material into existing IPsec environments.

The solution combines two quantum-safe technologies: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which uses quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which uses quantum-generated encryption keys. By combining key material derived from both methods, organisations can strengthen the protection of sensitive communications without relying on a single technology, delivering defence-in-depth security while maintaining the crypto-agility needed to adapt to evolving security standards and future quantum threats.

SpeQtral is leading the solution integration, bringing together Toshiba's QSN Platform and HPE Networking SRX Next Generation Firewall in a deployment-ready model. The demonstration successfully verified interoperability and secure IPsec VPN operation using quantum-safe key material, providing organisations with a practical pathway to strengthen cyber resilience while preserving existing network investments.

"As organisations prepare for the quantum era, they need practical, non-disruptive pathways to strengthen security across their existing operations. Together with Toshiba and SpeQtral, we have demonstrated how quantum-safe capabilities can be integrated into existing IPsec environments using HPE's advanced firewall solution. We are delighted to collaborate with Toshiba and look forward to continuing our work together to help customers build stronger cyber resilience today while preparing for the quantum threats of tomorrow," said Mark Ablett, Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan, HPE Networking.

Chune Yang Lum, Co-Founder and CEO of SpeQtral, said: "Organisations recognise the need to begin their quantum-safe transition, but they also require solutions that can be integrated into existing environments with minimal disruption. Working with Toshiba and HPE, we have demonstrated a practical and deployment-ready approach that combines quantum-safe technologies with established IPsec infrastructure. "

"CII operators and government agencies need confidence that their critical networks can remain protected as quantum risks grow. Crypto-agility is a key consideration for organisations planning their quantum-safe journey. Through our collaboration with SpeQtral and HPE, Toshiba is demonstrating how a layered QKD and PQC approach can strengthen IPsec communications today while providing the flexibility to adapt to future security requirements," said Anandaraman Sankaran, Strategic Partnerships & Marketing Lead, APAC of Toshiba Asia Pacific.

The integrated solution will be showcased at GovWare 2026, where attendees can explore how quantum-safe capabilities can be integrated into existing IPsec VPN environments and gain insights into practical, crypto-agile approaches for protecting critical communications against future quantum-enabled threats.
