Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Across ASEAN, long-term archival integrity and cryptographic future-proofing are emerging as procurement filters as organisations confront harvest-now, decrypt-later risks. The policy and industry conversation crystallised in Feb-2024 with a regional technical MOU that encouraged member states to begin preparing quantum-safe migration roadmaps for critical archives. That non-vendor initiative prompts enterprises to demand vendor roadmaps for key rotation, archive re-encryption and post-quantum-ready storage tiers. The immediate impact is a higher technical bar for archive vendors and an acceleration of audit-ready archival controls within contracts to ensure long-term confidentiality of protected backups.

Industry Player Insights: ASEAN’s regional momentum is led by IBM, NCS, Singtel, and Acronis etc. Competitive action increasingly blends cryptographic roadmap assurances with local enablement. IBM and NCS formalised a quantum-safe readiness MOU in Feb-2024 that provides a staged approach for enterprises to inventory cryptographic assets and begin pragmatic migration planning, enabling MSPs to offer adherence-based archival services. Acronis expanded its channel enablement in Mar-2025 through regional distribution partnerships that improve local delivery of cryptographic and archival controls. These developments push buyers to prioritise vendors who can demonstrate both near-term archive integrity controls and credible paths to long-term cryptographic resilience.
