V-Key partnered with NetAssist at CIAG 2026, ISACA Malaysia Chapter’s Cybersecurity, IT Assurance & Governance Conference, held this year under the theme “The Digital Resilience Mandate: Governing Trust, Quantifying Risk, and Ensuring Compliance in the Quantum-AI Era.” Now in its 24th edition, CIAG brings together governance, audit, risk, and cybersecurity leaders to discuss how organisations can stay resilient as digital and regulatory demands accelerate.
Attendees came from governance, risk, and compliance functions, alongside CISOs, auditors, and technology leaders responsible for translating security investments into assurance their boards and regulators can rely on. For attendees, the joint booth offered a practical view of how identity assurance and infrastructure defence fit together within a governance mandate.
A joint presence built around complementary strengths
NetAssist is a Malaysia-based cybersecurity specialist with more than 22 years in the industry, offering services across managed security operations, penetration testing, and governance, risk, and compliance, all certified to ISO 27001 and CREST standards. Its hybrid Security Operation Centre model helps organizations detect and respond to threats around the clock at the infrastructure level. Partnering with NetAssist for CIAG 2026 allowed V-Key to present a more complete picture of digital trust, alongside its own focus on securing identity and mobile applications at the point of use.
What V-Key showcased
At the joint booth, V-Key featured two of its core solutions:
V-Key ID, a digital identity platform that verifies who is behind a transaction or login, built to help organizations reduce fraud while keeping the user experience simple.
V-OS Mobile App Protection, which secures mobile apps against tampering, reverse engineering, and runtime attacks, giving organizations a way to protect the app itself, not just the data flowing through it.
Showing both solutions side by side reflected a theme that resonated with the conference’s governance focus: network-level visibility and identity-level assurance are both essential, but they address different parts of an organization’s risk.
Identity Assurance in the Quantum-AI Era
Identity has become a growing area of focus for governance and risk leaders, particularly as organizations look ahead to the risks the “Quantum-AI Era” raises for trust and compliance.
This is where V-Key ID fits in. It gives businesses a way to verify who is behind a login or transaction, helping reduce fraud and impersonation while keeping the process simple for the end user. For organisations weighing where to invest as these risks evolve, V-Key ID offers a practical starting point: strengthening identity assurance without adding friction for customers.
NetAssist, in turn, brings continuous monitoring and rapid threat response through its hybrid SOC model, helping organizations maintain visibility over their infrastructure around the clock. Together, the two companies gave CIAG attendees a broader view of the areas organizations should be evaluating as they build out their resilience strategies for the years ahead.
Looking ahead
CIAG 2026 gave V-Key an opportunity to engage a governance-first audience. Alongside NetAssist, V-Key continues to look for opportunities to bring identity and mobile app security into conversations happening at the board and governance level, where decisions about risk, compliance, and resilience get made.
