Expansion strengthens cybersecurity resilience by delivering a modern, scalable privileged access solution

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 February 2026 – Keeper Security, the leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, is expanding its relationship with Ingram Micro to increase the availability of KeeperPAM® in Singapore. Through Ingram Micro’s extensive distribution network, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers and enterprises across the country can now more easily adopt Keeper’s unified, cloud-based PAM platform to strengthen access controls, support regulatory compliance and defend against advanced cyber threats.

The expansion aligns with Singapore’s national focus on strengthening cyber resilience and digital trust, supporting organisations operating under frameworks such as the Cybersecurity Act and the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust marks. With increasing emphasis on compliance, governance and operational resilience across sectors including finance, manufacturing and critical infrastructure, modern, scalable PAM solutions help manage privileged access more securely while reducing cybersecurity risk.

Through this relationship, Ingram Micro will make KeeperPAM widely available to its Singapore-based network of resellers, system integrators and MSPs. Leveraging Ingram Micro’s scale and expertise in cloud and cybersecurity distribution, the collaboration enables organisations across industries to deploy Keeper’s modern PAM platform quickly and effectively, while reducing complexity and administrative overhead.

As a unified, cloud-native solution, powered by AI, KeeperPAM integrates password, secrets and session management with zero-trust network access and remote browser isolation. Designed to simplify privileged access security while improving enterprise-wide visibility, the platform enables organisations of all sizes to enforce least-privilege policies, secure third-party access and maintain oversight of privileged accounts and activity. KeeperPAM meets globally recognised compliance standards, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018.

“As identity-based attacks continue to escalate, organisations need privileged access security that is both powerful and easy to deploy,” said Scott Unger, Director of Global Channel Account Management, Keeper Security. “By expanding our partnership with Ingram Micro in Singapore, we’re empowering the local partner ecosystem to deliver enterprise-grade PAM at scale, helping customers strengthen security, improve visibility and support compliance across their environments.”

“As businesses accelerate cloud adoption, managing privileged access securely and efficiently has become a top priority,” said Eunice Lau, Executive Managing Director, Ingram Micro. “Keeper’s zero-trust PAM platform aligns well with this need, enabling our partners to help customers reduce complexity, strengthen access controls and gain real-time visibility across their environments.”

Built on a zero-trust and zero-knowledge security model, KeeperPAM secures, manages and audits privileged accounts using advanced capabilities such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Just-In-Time (JIT) access. Real-time monitoring, session recording and detailed audit trails provide transparency into privileged activity, helping organisations detect anomalies quickly and maintain compliance.

KeeperPAM addresses the full spectrum of privileged access use cases, including:

● Password management – Securely store, manage and rotate passwords, passkeys and confidential files

● Secrets management – Protect API keys, CI/CD pipelines and developer credentials while eliminating secrets sprawl

● Session management – Enable passwordless, audited remote access to infrastructure through a standard web browser

● Database access – Control privileged database access across on-premises and cloud environments using UI, CLI or tunneling tools

● Remote browser isolation – Secure access to internal web applications and admin portals while preventing data exfiltration

● AI threat detection – Automatically analyse user activity and terminate sessions when suspicious activity is detected

● Admin console – Centralise user management, policy enforcement, identity provider integration and activity monitoring

● Control plane – Orchestrate privileged access workflows, session activity and enforcement policies across the environment

Ingram Micro’s security expertise and Xvantage™ digital experience platform further support the deployment of KeeperPAM, enabling MSPs and IT teams to integrate privileged access controls into existing environments with minimal disruption.

Trad To Tech: Craftsmanship Growing Inside the Most Beautiful Homes as MIFF Leads the Way

Media Outreach

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 February 2026 – At the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), a master craftsperson brings a solid wood tabletop to fruition, overseeing finish, joinery and the quiet patience required to get it right. Just steps away, a sleek, minimalist booth hums softly, where beds adjust at the touch of a button, sofas glide into position, mechanisms hidden so precisely they seem to disappear. There is no divide between old and new here.

Craftsman at work

Instead, MIFF, taking place from 4 to 7 March this year across two major venues at the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) and World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), unfolds like a conversation across generations, where chisels and circuit boards share the same floor. Here, traditional woodwork brands stand confidently beside smart home piece creators. It is in this unexpected harmony that MIFF reveals its true character: a place where craftsmanship has not been replaced by technology but expanded by it.

In today’s most beautiful homes, craftsmanship no longer belongs exclusively to the past. It lives quietly alongside technology—coded, calibrated, and refined—shaping furniture that feels both deeply human and unmistakably contemporary. At this year’s edition,this evolution takes center stage, positioning the fair not just as a trade marketplace, but as a living narrative of how tradition and innovation now coexist.

Ms Kelie Lim, General Manager of MIFF 2026, says, “Craftsmanship isn’t being lost to technology. It’s evolving, with technology now working alongside the maker rather than replacing the hand. At MIFF, this evolution plays out in real time—positioning the fair not just as a trade marketplace, but as a living narrative of how tradition and innovation now coexist.”

Craftsmanship in the 21st Century

In modern homes, where space is fluid and functionality is paramount, this new craftsmanship answers contemporary needs without sacrificing beauty. The result is furniture that works harder, lasts longer and feels effortless, an evolution of craft shaped by modern life.

This shift is evident in the work of manufacturers like, among others, SMART TOP, where advanced engineering meets refined furniture-making. Craftsmanship is expressed through precision mechanisms, seamless movement and invisible intelligence built into everyday living pieces. Automation does not replace skill; it amplifies it. Human expertise guides design, ergonomics and material selection, while technology ensures consistency, durability and scale.

Cultural Identity as a Design Constant

Yet, as technology advances, identity remains essential. Across Southeast Asia, furniture traditions are inseparable from cultural expression. You see them woven into motifs, proportions and materials passed down through generations. Among other exhibitors at MIFF 2026 are brands like TANGGAM that demonstrate how cultural heritage can remain a constant, even as production methods evolve.

TANGGAM’s work reflects a deep respect for regional craftsmanship, translating traditional forms and philosophies into contemporary furniture suited for global interiors. Subtle references to vernacular architecture, local materials and artisanal detailing are preserved, not through nostalgia, but through thoughtful reinterpretation. Here, technology becomes a bridge rather than a break. Digital tools allow heritage aesthetics to be refined, repeated and shared across markets, ensuring that cultural identity is not diluted by scale, but protected by it.

Embracing Tech to Preserve the Past

Perhaps nowhere is this balance more intimate than in the realm of rest. Sleep, one of the most personal human experiences, has become a new frontier for craft and technology.

Luxury Sleep exemplifies how advanced systems can preserve traditional values of comfort, care, and well-being.By integrating smart sleep technology like its AI BedMatch™ system developed with scientists at the Sleep to Live® Institute with meticulous material selection and ergonomic design, Luxury Sleep elevates an age-old craft into a future-ready experience. Sensors, adaptive support systems and data-driven comfort do not remove the human element; they respond to it. The craft lies in understanding the body, just as artisans once understood wood or fabric. Only now, the tools are digital.

MIFF 2026: Where Trad Meets Tech

What unites these stories is MIFF itself. In 2026, the fair emerges as a stage where craftsmanship is neither romanticised nor mechanised, but redefined. Exhibitors reflect a shared understanding: the future of furniture lies in collaboration, between hand and machine, heritage and innovation, culture and commerce.

MIFF 2026 is not simply showcasing products. It is presenting a philosophy of making, one where technology safeguards tradition, and craftsmanship evolves to meet the demands of modern living. Inside the world’s most beautiful homes, this new craft is already at work. And at MIFF, its future is being shaped.

The 32nd edition of the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) 2026 will be held from 4 to 7 March 2026, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, across two venues: the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) and the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL). Be part of Southeast Asia’s largest furniture trade show from 9:30am to 6:00pm (March 4-6) and 9:30 am – 5:00 pm (March 7). For more information, please visit www.miff.com.my

‘War orphans’ express gratitude to Chinese foster parents

BEIJING, CHINA –

The association is dedicated to fostering mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and China. Its mission includes supporting the social welfare of Japanese “war orphans” left behind in China—individuals who endured significant hardship during the post-war turmoil and are still facing various challenges today. The organization also seeks to preserve and transmit the memories of these experiences to younger generations and to deepen bilateral exchanges.

Following Japan’s surrender in 1945, more than 4,000 Japanese children were left behind in China and raised by Chinese families. Now advanced in age, the group has decided to undertake what they call their final “gratitude tour,” which coincides with the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Since 2009, these orphans have been traveling to China every few years to acknowledge the kindness of their Chinese foster parents and other benefactors who supported them.

Sumie Ikeda, 81, head of the association of friendship of repatriates from China, is herself one of the Japanese orphans left behind in China. In an exclusive interview with CNS, she spoke in the fluent northeastern Chinese dialect of her childhood, reminiscing about her upbringing in Heilongjiang. “How could I be Japanese?” she reflected, her early identity obscured by the war’s aftermath. Separated from her biological family as an infant, she was raised in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province. “My foster mother was truly an exceptional Chinese woman,” Ikeda said, noting that memories of her foster mother’s strength continue to sustain her.

A pivotal moment occurred when she was eight and local Chinese authorities identified her Japanese heritage. The words of her foster mother, who insisted “This child is mine,” left an indelible mark on Ikeda. As an adult, her search for biological roots in 1980s Japan ended in hardship and betrayal, leaving her destitute and suicidal until rescued by the Chinese consulate.

“My first life was given by my birth parents; my second by my adoptive parents,” she recounted. “In the most difficult times, it was always the Chinese people who reached out to us.”

Ikeda’s story reflects a broader historical experience. Official Japanese records recognize 2,818 such “war orphans.” Their lives, Ikeda stresses, are a living indictment of the catastrophes caused by war.

Yet, despite their hardships, their enduring sentiment is one of profound gratitude towards China. “Though Japanese by birth, we would not have survived without Chinese people,” Ikeda said.

Their collective narrative delivers a dual message of profound gratitude and solemn warning. It pays tribute to the extraordinary compassion of ordinary Chinese people—a love that chose nurture over vengeance. “We must never let war happen again. Situations like ours must never be repeated,” Ikeda urged.

“We are a group with the dual identity of both perpetrators and victims,” she reflected, a statement that embodies the complex legacy of history, humanity, and a plea for lasting peace.
