SINGAPORE, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — V-Key, a Tower Capital Asia (“TCA”) portfolio company and a leading provider of digital identity and Mobile Application Protection & Security (“MAPS”), today announced a strategic investment in Singapore-based CloudsineAI, a provider of AI cybersecurity and web integrity protection.
The investment advances V-Key’s strategy to address the evolving safety, identity, and security requirements of the AI economy. By integrating V-Key’s expertise in trusted digital identity and cryptographic protection with CloudsineAI’s AI cybersecurity capabilities, already adopted by private and public sector organisations, the companies aim to provide trusted infrastructure for secure AI adoption and the next generation of digital interactions.
As organisations accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, AI safety is becoming an increasingly important priority for governments and enterprises. Security must now extend beyond authenticating human users to securing applications, AI agents, and other non-human actors that initiate transactions and access systems.
V-Key and CloudsineAI bring together complementary strengths spanning trusted identity, agentic security, and governance. Together, they enable organisations to establish verifiable identities, safeguard digital interactions, and maintain accountability across critical business processes.
“This strategic investment reflects our conviction that identity will become the control layer for the AI economy,” said Joseph Gan, Co-Founder and CEO of V-Key. “As organisations deploy AI agents alongside human users, AI safety requires more than authentication. Trusted identity, governed access, secure digital interactions, and verifiable accountability will be critical. By combining V-Key’s expertise in identity management and application security with CloudsineAI’s strengths in agentic cybersecurity, we are building the trust infrastructure for secure and responsible AI-powered services.”
Matthias Chin, Founder and CEO of CloudsineAI, said, “Digital and AI transformation increasingly depends on trust between people, organisations, applications, and AI agents. Together with V-Key, we are combining identity governance with TraceCtrl’s agentic AI security suite, giving customers greater identity, visibility, traceability, and control as they deploy AI.”
The combined offering will provide customers across regulated industries, including financial services, government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, with a more integrated approach to securing digital and AI interactions, strengthening governance, and supporting regulatory compliance.
Seth Lim, Senior Vice President at Tower Capital Asia, said, “Our investment in V-Key was founded on the belief that identity and digital trust will become foundational to the next generation of the digital economy. V-Key’s strategic investment in CloudsineAI extends this vision into AI safety, combining its strengths in digital identity and application security with CloudsineAI’s expertise in AI cybersecurity. We see significant opportunities for innovation and expansion across Asia-Pacific and beyond.”
