↑ 0%OPSWAT joins Singapore's Cyber Security Agency at exclusive OTCEP Forum 2026, reinforcing commitment to critical infrastructure protection in the public sector. Aug 21, 2026 OPSWAT participated and spoke at the Operational Technology Cybersecurity Expert Panel (OTCEP) Forum 2026, held July 22-23 at Resorts World Convention Centre, Singapore. This was an invitation-only event convened by Singapore's Cyber Security Agency (CSA) that brought together a select group of government leaders, critical information infrastructure operators, and OT cybersecurity practitioners from around the world. Now in its sixth year, the OTCEP Forum is a cornerstone event under Singapore's OT Cybersecurity Masterplan, designed to strengthen cross-sector resilience against operational technology (OT) threats. This year's forum was opened by CSA Chief Executive Ms. Gwenda Fong and featured a keynote address from Mrs. Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information and Minister-in-Charge of Cybersecurity and Smart Nation Group, who outlined Singapore's strategy to defend critical infrastructure against AI-driven threats. Sal Morlando, CTO for Data Diodes and Security Gateways at OPSWAT, presented "Every OT Breach Starts With a File," a session examining how file-borne threats enter OT environments and how organizations can close that gap without disrupting operations. The session drew strong attendance from public sector and CII stakeholders, reflecting growing demand across Singapore's government and critical infrastructure community for practical, deployable OT security guidance. Being invited to speak at OTCEP is a meaningful recognition of the work OPSWAT has done to protect the world's most sensitive networks. The turnout and the quality of the conversations Opswat had with operators and policymakers reinforced just how central data diode and cross-domain technology have become securing critical infrastructure. Opswat is looking forward to building on these relationships as Singapore continues to invest in OT resilience. Sal Morlando CTO for Data Diodes and Security Gateways at OPSWAT Morlando's presentation drew on OPSWAT's work expanding its network security portfolio, including the MetaDefender(R) Optical Diode and Diode X, which integrate MetaDefender Core(TM) file sanitization and have achieved EAL 4+ certification and NATO-approved product listing. These solutions support customers across power utilities, oil and gas, water and wastewater, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure sectors that rely on strict network segmentation and air-gapped security. OPSWAT's participation at OTCEP Forum 2026 builds on the company's broader engagement with Singapore's public sector and reflects its ongoing investment in the region as demand for OT and cross-domain security accelerates across government and CII operators.

OPSWAT completes FIPS 140-3 validation. 8th April 2026 Corsec would like to congratulate its partner, OPSWAT, Inc., on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) validation process on their OPSWAT Cryptographic Module. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and confirmation to users of the protection of sensitive information within their environment. To achieve this benchmark, OPSWAT partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 1 as seen in certificate #5225. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module's security policy, visit NIST's validated modules site. To learn more about engineering your product to meet Federal and regulated industry security requirements, schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer. About FIPS 140. FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3 are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency. FIPS 140 is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability. About OPSWAT and their Cryptographic Module. OPSWAT protects critical infrastructure. Their goal is to eliminate malware and zero-day attacks. They believe that every file and every device pose a threat. Threats must be addressed at all locations at all times - at entry, at exit, and at rest. Their products focus on threat prevention and process creation for secure data transfer and safe device access. The result is productive systems that minimize risk of compromise. The OPSWAT Cryptographic Module is a cryptographic software library, intended for use by U.S. and Canadian Federal agencies and other markets that require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic functionality. About Corsec security, Inc. For over 28 years, Corsec has assisted companies through the IT security certification process for FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria (CC), CSfC, and DoD STIG / DoDIN APL. Corsec Security, Inc. is a privately owned company focused on partnering with organizations worldwide to assist with the process of security certifications and validations. Its certification methodology helps open doors to new markets and increase revenue for clients with products ranging from mobile phones to satellites. Its broad knowledge safeguards against common pitfalls and thwarts delays, translating to a swift and seamless path to certification. Corsec has created the benchmark for providing business leaders with fast, flexible access to industry knowledge on security certifications and validations.
OPSWAT has launched Predictive Alin AI, its first proprietary AI-based threat detection engine for the MetaDefender Platform. The machine learning engine evaluates file structure and patterns to predict malicious behaviour before execution, delivering results in under 100 milliseconds. The static analysis engine achieved 99.99% precision in identifying safe files during internal testing, prioritising near-zero false positives for operationally sensitive environments. When uncertain, the platform automatically triggers additional workflows for further assessment. Founded by CEO Benny Czarny, OPSWAT specialises in critical infrastructure protection cybersecurity solutions. The new AI engine operates as a decision confidence layer within multi-engine architectures, designed to enhance security team efficiency rather than replace human oversight. It functions identically in online and offline deployments with a small memory footprint.
