Security Is the New Market Access: Kigen Is Leading the IoT Security Mandate
At MWC IoT Summit 2026, Kigen made the case that the EU Cyber Resilience Act is not a compliance burden — it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. For manufacturers who move now, the competitive advantage is structural.
SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – 5.5 trillion dollars. That is the annual cost of cybercrime to the global economy — a figure larger than the GDP of every nation except the United States and China. Behind it lies a single, solvable problem: billions of connected devices shipped without robust security baked in.
At MWC IoT Summit 2026 in Shanghai, Jean-Louis Carrara, SVP Global Sales at Kigen, delivered a keynote that reframed this challenge as an inflection point. The message was clear: the era of voluntary security is over, and the manufacturers who recognise this first will define the competitive landscape for the decade ahead.
The Regulation That Changes Everything
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is the most significant cybersecurity legislation ever enacted. It covers more than 90% of all IoT products containing digital elements — sensors, gateways, industrial equipment, consumer devices. If it connects, it is covered.
Manufacturers must now provide security updates across a five-year product lifecycle, report confirmed security incidents within 72 hours, and demonstrate security by design from the earliest stages of product development. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to €15 million, or 2.5% of global annual turnover.
Documentation requirements and vulnerability management obligations are already in force from September 2026. For any product in development today — any product planned for market entry in 2027 — compliance is not a future consideration. It is a present one.
Market Access as Competitive Advantage
Independent analysis puts the average cost of CRA compliance at approximately €100,000 per product line. Against a potential penalty exposure of €15 million, the arithmetic is straightforward. But Carrara pressed further: as the compliance threshold rises, EU market access becomes selectively available — a structural advantage for those who are ready.
This is the reframe that matters. Security is not a constraint on speed to market. It is the enabler of access to the world’s most demanding — and most rewarding — markets.
Proof at Scale — and Under Pressure
Kigen’s eSIM technology operates across more than 250 terrestrial and satellite networks worldwide. Hundreds of millions of devices. Decades of real-world hardening. But scale, Carrara argued, is not the same as trust.
Trust is demonstrated when the stakes are highest. When significant vulnerabilities were identified in eSIM frameworks used across the industry, Kigen responded within 72 hours — developing and sharing a patch openly, without paywalls, in full coordination with the GSMA and in alignment with ENISA disclosure guidelines.
“We did not wait for regulation to demand it,” Carrara said. “We acted because it was right — and because the industry’s security is only as strong as its weakest point. Our actions supported the coordinated response to develop countermeasures and mitigate the risks and we continue to collaborate on furthering these by contributing back through GSMA and other standards bodies. With certified eSIMs now carrying capabilities to patch, the tools are available for the mandates OEMs must meet on cybersecurity – readily, with our expertise.”
The Platform Already Built
Kigen’s platform delivers autonomous over-the-air security updates — deployable across an entire installed fleet without physical intervention. Native IoT profile management enables secure provisioning at manufacturing scale. Proven interoperability across the global operator ecosystem ensures devices function wherever customers need them.
Kigen also chairs the GSMA eSIM Working Group, actively advancing standards that raise the security floor for the entire industry — not to hold competitive advantage, but to make the ecosystem stronger for everyone.
The Convergence Moment
AI is transforming manufacturing. Advanced connectivity is extending that transformation to every point on the globe. And regulatory-grade security is the condition that makes all of it trustworthy. These forces are converging — and the window for first-mover advantage is open.
The imperative to build every capability in-house belongs to a previous era. The manufacturers who will define this decade are those who identify where deep, specialised expertise already exists — and accelerate their path to market by partnering with it.
The regulatory framework is clear. The technical capability is proven. Trust, at scale, is a durable advantage.

Klinik Tuah Welcomes Its 10,000th Knee Pain Patient in Under Five Years
This achievement comes at a time when more Malaysians, particularly older adults are struggling to access early treatment for knee pain. Common barriers include high costs, long waiting times, and concerns about whether the treatment will actually work.
For the clinic’s founder, this milestone carries a meaning far beyond the numbers. It is the fulfilment of a promise.
Dr. Hareez recalled watching a mother live with knee pain for years, as simple daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even praying gradually became harder over time. Accompanying a parent to treatment from a young age, only to see the same result each time: a bottle of painkillers and no lasting relief. The pain never went away, regardless of how many bottles were finished. Hearing the cries of pain every night was something that stayed close to heart.
That experience became the foundation of a personal commitment which is to help others going through the same struggle.
That same principle has guided Klinik Tuah since its very first day of operations.
Five Years of Changing How Knee Pain Is Treated
Klinik Tuah started with a single clinic in Cheras in September 2021. Today, Klinik Tuah has grown to six branches across Peninsular Malaysia, with plans to open new branches in Gombak and Penang in the near future.
But according to Dr. Hareez Noorman, one of Klinik Tuah’s co-founders, the growth has always been driven by a bigger vision.
“Whenever knee pain was brought up, the first thing that came to mind for most people was the fear of surgery. But after visiting several countries such as Korea, Japan, Türkiye, and others to study the latest advances in knee treatment, Klinik Tuah was determined to bring these non-surgical technologies back to Malaysia at a price that people could actually afford.”
“Klinik Tuah has invested in the latest medical technology, advanced equipment, and ongoing training for its doctors to make sure that more people can benefit from knee treatment at Klinik Tuah.”
Over five years of operations, Klinik Tuah has seen patients from all walks of life, including senior citizens, working adults, and those who simply want to stay active without being held back by knee pain. The majority of knee pain patients are aged 50 and above, making up around 72% of all cases treated at the clinic.
Growing Awareness of Non-Surgical Treatment
Klinik Tuah has also observed a growing shift in the way Malaysians think about knee treatment. More people are now actively looking for modern, less invasive options that allow them to get back on their feet without relying on long-term painkillers.
This shift is partly driven by better access to health information online, as well as greater exposure to modern knee treatment technologies that are becoming more widely available.
“For a long time, many patients believed that knee pain was just a normal part of getting older. Some lived with it for years, either because they were afraid of surgery, or because they thought they had no other choice besides painkillers or a knee replacement,” said Dr. Hareez Noorman.
Klinik Tuah’s approach focuses on personalised care, supported by the latest diagnostic tools and a range of non-surgical treatment options. These include hyaluronic acid gel injections, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, regenerative cell treatment, Genicular Nerve Block, sclerotherapy, Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), and other advanced procedures.
Today, Klinik Tuah is recognised as one of Malaysia’s dedicated knee care clinics, known for its patient-centred approach, up-to-date medical technology, and clear communication that helps patients understand their condition and treatment options.
The Journey Continues: 35,000 Patients by 2030
With 10,000 knee pain patients now treated, Klinik Tuah has set its sights on a bigger goal, to help 35,000 patients by the year 2030.
This target is in line with the clinic’s long-term vision of building a future where more Malaysians can move freely, carry out their daily routines comfortably, and live without the burden of chronic knee pain.
To reach this goal, Klinik Tuah plans to expand its network of branches gradually, while continuing to make modern knee treatment more accessible, easier to understand, and tailored to individual needs.
According to the clinic, there are still many Malaysians living with untreated knee pain, whether due to limited access, fear of treatment, or simply not knowing what options are available to them today.
“The goal is clear. Klinik Tuah wants more patients to have the chance to properly understand their condition and to access the right treatment. When pain is managed well, everything else in life gets better,” said Dr. Hareez Noorman.
Dr. Hareez Noorman added that Klinik Tuah’s mission goes beyond treating symptoms — it is about helping patients return to a more active and meaningful life, in line with the clinic’s long-term commitment to reducing the burden of pain in the community.
With advances in modern treatment and increasing public awareness, Klinik Tuah believes the 35,000-patient target by 2030 is a realistic and meaningful step toward a future where effective knee care is within reach for every Malaysian.

Washington Apples Marks 35 Years in Indonesia, Targeting Continued Growth Amid Healthy Living Trends
As it enters a new season, WAC will introduce a range of promotional and educational initiatives aimed at further strengthening its connection with Indonesian consumers.
Jennie Strong, International Marketing Specialist of the Washington Apple Commission, said: “Indonesia has been an important market for Washington Apples for more than 35 years. Throughout this period, we have worked closely with importers, retailers, and local partners to build awareness and expand the presence of Washington Apples across the country. We continue to see positive growth potential, supported by a growing middle class, younger consumers, and an increasingly modern retail landscape. As a result, we will continue to strengthen our promotional and educational efforts to bring Washington Apples even closer to Indonesian consumers.”
Washington Apples will continue to offer a wide selection of premium varieties that have long been favorites among Indonesian consumers, including Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Envy®, Ambrosia, and Gala. Each variety offers its own distinct flavor profile, catering to increasingly diverse consumer preferences.
Consumers Are Becoming More Selective About Healthy Snacking
Over the past several years, awareness of healthy living has continued to grow. One trend that has gained momentum is the increasing demand for snacks that are both nutritious and convenient for everyday consumption. In this context, fresh fruit such as apples has become an increasingly relevant choice.
In addition to being convenient, apples contain a variety of nutrients that support overall well-being. A large apple provides fiber, vitamin C, and potassium that can help support daily activities. Researchers from the University of Denmark have also found that apples may contribute to improved gut health and support the immune system by increasing beneficial gut bacteria. Interestingly, most of an apple’s antioxidants are found in its skin.
Given these developments, Jennie believes Indonesia remains a market with significant growth potential for Washington Apples.
“Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of eating fruit every day and are more selective when choosing quality products. We are also seeing the rise of mindful snacking, where people seek snack options that are not only convenient but also offer nutritional benefits. We hope to continue being part of this journey through quality products and programs that are relevant to the needs of Indonesian consumers,” he/she added.
To maintain product quality, Washington Apples follows strict quality-control processes from harvesting and washing to sorting and storage. Apples are selected using modern technology based on color, size, and maturity to help ensure consistent quality when they reach consumers.
In addition, each apple undergoes sugar and starch testing to help maintain the sweetness and crisp texture that Washington Apples is known for. This commitment reflects the Grown with Goodness philosophy, which represents attention to quality at every stage of the fruit’s journey—from orchard to table.
