Exein aims to leverage Taiwan's world-leading, strategic position in the global semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sectors to promote the development of runtime technologies and strengthen the IoT security ecosystem. This enables Taiwanese and APAC manufacturers to meet security by design requirements with confidence, supporting access to global markets such as Europe while embedding protection directly at the device level. Addressing CRA requirements: The number of IoT devices continues to expand rapidly, with connected devices worldwide expected to exceed 25 billion by 2030. This growth also reflects on the attacking surface, as one-third of cybersecurity vulnerabilities are associated with IoT devices, making endpoints a major entry point for cyberattacks. Exein solves this problem by providing AI-driven runtime protection technology that is directly embedded into devices and firmware. The technology detects anomalous behaviour and potential threats in real time during operation, while maintaining performance impact below 1%. This capability enables manufacturers to meet global cybersecurity regulations and, at the same time, compliance requirements. Taiwan as a core hub: driving APAC and global expansion with local ecosystem partners The Asia-Pacific region has become a key growth driver for Exein, currently contributing nearly 50% of the company's global revenue and achieving fivefold growth in 2025. In this context, Taiwan, with a central role in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing supply chain, has become a critical gateway for the deployment of device cybersecurity and a centre for exporting global standards.
