Semperis Secures IMDA Accreditation to Strengthen Identity Resilience in the AI Era

As Semperis achieves triple-digit APAC growth, it is expanding its senior leadership team to accelerate regional momentum.

HOBOKEN, N.J. and SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response company, today announced accreditation from Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), which recognizes Semperis for its innovative Identity Resilience Platform. This is a strong validation of the company's product capabilities, operational maturity and readiness to serve enterprise and public sector customers. The recognition comes on the back of the company's triple-digit revenue growth across the Asia-Pacific region, including Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and Japan.

The company also announced several new hires amid this growth phase, with Shekhar Thakurdesai joining Semperis as AVP of India and SAARC business and Ridwan Basri as Channel Director in Asia. Nick Lowther and Daniel O'Mara have joined Semperis in key sales roles to bolster growth across the region.

Organizations across Asia-Pacific look to bolster cyber resilience amid the rapid adoption of AI agents, with threat actors increasingly targeting identity systems such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping Identity. According to Semperis' newest study, State of Identity Security in the AI Era, only 21% of the organizations in Singapore and Australia are confident they could fully regain control of their identity infrastructure if an AI agent exposes admin credentials to an attacker. At the same time, 93% already use or plan to use AI agents for sensitive security tasks such as password resets and VPN access.

"Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest-growing global digital economies, and organizations in the region are embracing AI agents and integrating them into their identity systems. However, Semperis' study highlights that to date, many haven't adopted safeguards to manage them," said Gerry Sillars, Vice President, Asia-Pacific and Japan, Semperis.

"Unfortunately, cybercriminals are moving just as quickly. Businesses are recognizing that cyber resilience starts with protecting the identity systems that every user, application and AI agent depends upon. Our exceptional growth across APJ reflects this shift in mindset. We're investing aggressively in local talent, expanding our regional presence and strengthening our partner ecosystem so we can help more organizations prevent, respond to, and recover from identity-based cyberattacks with confidence."

"Identity systems are a key target for cyberattacks, with AI adding new complexity to an evolving threat landscape," said Edwin Low, Director, Enterprise & Ecosystem Development, IMDA. "With IMDA's accreditation, we look forward to Semperis bringing its resilience and recovery capabilities to help organizations better safeguard their critical identity infrastructure."

With continued investment in regional talent, strategic partnerships and innovation, Semperis is well positioned to support organizations across Asia-Pacific and Japan as they strengthen identity resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats in the AI era.
