BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 June 2026 - As organizations across Southeast Asia accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, cybersecurity has become a strategic priority. At the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra Launch Event held in Bangkok on June 23–24, ASUS Thailand and WebComm Technology jointly unveiled Thailand's first integrated "Zero Trust PC" aligned with Thailand's Digital Identity and cybersecurity initiatives, combining hardware security with FIDO-based passwordless and biometric authentication to help organizations strengthen security.

The newly launched ASUS ExpertBook Ultra offers powerful AI computing capabilities, advanced security features, and business-ready manageability. Through integration with WebComm's OETH passwordless authentication platform or OETHenticator AI fingerprint authenticator, organizations can continuously verify identities and device access under a Zero Trust framework.

Thailand has also accelerated its cybersecurity initiatives across government, education, finance, and enterprise sectors in recent years. Government agencies including the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA), the Digital Government Development Agency (DGA), and the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) have actively promoted stronger frameworks, trusted Digital Identity (TDID), digital onboarding, and secure electronic transactions. ETDA is also developing digital identity authentication capabilities based on FIDO standards and integrating them with national identity platforms to strengthen secure and passwordless authentication across Thailand's digital ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Bank of Thailand continues to enhance risk management and secure authentication requirements for digital financial services and mobile banking.

WebComm OETH enables passwordless login and multi-factor authentication(MFA) while supporting a Zero Trust architecture that helps organizations safeguard sensitive data and strengthen access security. The platform offers seamless SaaS-based hardware-software integration, enabling enterprises to accelerate implementation while maintaining low operational costs.

Complementing the platform, OETHenticator is an AI chip-based fingerprint authenticator that delivers comprehensive, ultra-fast verification with FIDO2 standards for both desktop and mobile environments. Beyond enterprise security, FIDO-based authentication can also help organizations address evolving regulatory expectations for secure customer authentication in mobile banking, digital payments, e-KYC, and online services, while reducing fraud risks and improving user convenience. WebComm also provides Level 1 local technical support in Thailand to ensure smooth deployment and ongoing operations.

"Organizations today need security solutions that protect sensitive information without compromising user experience," said Charles Liu, Director, ASUS Thailand. "By combining the ASUS Business PC series with WebComm's OETH passwordless authentication, we are helping organizations strengthen cybersecurity through Zero Trust. We believe this partnership will support Thailand's digital transformation journey and accelerate adoption of identity security practices."

Jay Chen, General Manager of WebComm Technology, added, "WebComm is committed to delivering intelligent cybersecurity solutions. Together with ASUS, we help enterprises enhance security with a seamless user experience while accelerating Zero Trust adoption across industries."

As a Taiwan-listed cybersecurity company, WebComm serves more than 70% of Taiwan's banking sector. The collaboration demonstrates how integrated hardware and software innovation can help organizations build resilient cyber defenses in the AI era. Together, the two companies are committed to expanding Zero Trust adoption across Thailand and empowering enterprises to embrace a more secure digital future.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 June 2026 - Asia Pacific Rayon's (APR), a member of the RGE group of companies founded by Sukanto Tanoto, is showcasing the Riau Complex as a model for employee living that is redefining how industrial companies support their workforce. More than a residential area, the integrated township has established a new benchmark for employee living by combining quality housing, education, healthcare, recreation and community facilities within a single, self-sustaining ecosystem.

Designed to support employees and their families at every stage of life, the Riau Complex fosters a strong sense of community while providing convenient access to essential services close to the workplace. This integrated approach not only enhances wellbeing and work-life balance, but also strengthens workforce engagement, talent retention and long-term operational resilience. As industrial operations increasingly compete for skilled talent, purpose-built living environments such as the Riau Complex serve as a model for how companies can create thriving communities that support both employee success while driving sustainable business growth.

Located in Pangkalan Kerinci, the Riau Complex demonstrates how integrated residential infrastructure can enable industrial growth while enhancing employee wellbeing and community development. What began in 1993 as a quiet riverside village of just 200 homes has grown into a thriving township of more than 100,000 people today, and is now home to APR's world-class viscose rayon operations. Over the years, the area has evolved into a key industrial and residential hub in Riau Province, supporting thousands of employees, contractors and local businesses connected to the broader manufacturing ecosystem.

Located approximately two hours from Pekanbaru, the Riau Complex integrates modern housing with education, healthcare and lifestyle infrastructure to support employees and their families near APR's manufacturing operations. The self-sustaining community enables a smooth transition to life in Pangkalan Kerinci while fostering belonging, stability and a strong multicultural environment. Regular initiatives such as Cultural Week bring together employees of diverse nationalities to share traditions, food and performances, strengthening social cohesion and cross-cultural understanding.

The complex also hosts accredited schools managed by the Kerinci Citra Kasih Foundation (YKCK), including Mutiara Harapan School (SMH) and an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma school in Riau Province. Dedicated medical clinics, sports facilities and the RGE Community Centre (RGECC) further support employee wellbeing, professional productivity and community engagement.

Green spaces, recreational facilities and community activities further promote balanced living for residents of all ages. Together, these elements support not only operational efficiency but also the broader social and developmental wellbeing of the community, while the proximity to manufacturing sites helps reduce commuting time and improve work-life balance.

For many APR employees, these facilities play an important role in both their professional and personal life. By integrating residential, educational and recreational infrastructure into a single ecosystem, the Riau Complex supports workforce stability, employee wellbeing and APR's long-term operational growth. The development also reflects how industrial companies are increasingly investing beyond manufacturing operations to create sustainable communities that can attract talent, strengthen employee engagement and support long-term regional development.
