V-Key's 2024 Journey in Advancing Digital Security and Empowering Seamless Digital Experiences

As we reflect on 2024, V-Key is proud of the milestones we’ve achieved and the innovations we’ve introduced in the field of digital identity and mobile security. This year, we have remained steadfast in our mission to protect digital experiences and empower businesses with advanced solutions. From key industry events to groundbreaking technological advancements, we’ve continually strived to meet the evolving needs across various sectors.  

Joseph Gan, our CEO and Co-Founder, expresses gratitude to all who have supported our journey: “As we close out 2024, I want to extend my deepest thanks to our incredible team, customers, partners, and everyone who has contributed to our success this year. Your trust and collaboration have been vital to our growth, and we look forward to the opportunities 2025 holds. Together, we will continue to innovate and ensure the security of digital ecosystems globally.” 

Since our inception in 2011, V-Key has established itself as a trusted leader in mobile security. With a focus on enhancing authentication and protecting mobile environments, we’ve developed solutions that foster trust and enable seamless experiences for businesses and their customers. This year, V-Key ID has strengthened our portfolio, advancing digital identity by simplifying user authentication and maintaining the highest privacy standards. It enables identity portability by allowing businesses to securely verify identities across platforms with an effortless API integration, ensuring privacy while providing smooth and efficient authentication. Built with ZeroBiometrics™ technology, V-Key ID sets new standards for user trust, safeguarding privacy while delivering seamless user experiences. 

 

 

V-Key’s commitment to data security is reflected in our achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 certification, validating the strength of our security controls. From data encryption to intrusion detection, our comprehensive measures ensure that customer data remains secure and protected across all platforms.

In 2024, we introduced V-OS App Shield, a no-code mobile app security solution designed for businesses looking for a quick and effective way to secure mobile applications without modifying source code. Alongside it, V-OS Mobile App Protection provides multi-layered defenses with features such as Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) and threat response customization, providing enterprises with tailored protection for complex security needs. Both solutions share the foundation of V-Key’s patented V-OS Virtual Secure Element technology. 

These solutions offer businesses flexible options to navigate the evolving threat landscape, strengthen user trust, and address security needs across sectors.

This year, we extended our support to Huawei’s HarmonyOS NEXT, a major leap forward in mobile security. Built on Huawei’s independent Hongmeng kernel, HarmonyOS NEXT marks a shift towards a self-sufficient app ecosystem. By integrating V-OS App Protection and V-OS Smart Token SDKs into this platform, ensuring top-tier security as it evolves into a unique, independent system for developers. V-Key’s involvement reinforces our commitment to providing comprehensive security solutions across all major platforms.

We also celebrate the recently concluded 25th anniversary of Bridge Alliance, one of our valued collaborators on this journey. This milestone marks a quarter-century of leadership and innovation in the telecommunications industry. Our partnership with Bridge Alliance has been instrumental in advancing mobile security, especially through the integration of Silent Network Authentication (SNA) into V-Key ID. By leveraging telco real-time data, SNA enhances authentication and fraud prevention, enabling businesses to confirm phone numbers securely and reduce the risk of fraudulent activities. This collaboration has not only strengthened our security offerings but also helped shape the future of secure digital identities, empowering businesses to offer more reliable and trusted services to their customers.

Looking ahead, we are excited to participate in the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) in 2025 as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. This event will serve as a platform for V-Key to showcase our latest innovations, reaffirm our commitment to secure digital transformation, and continue our discussions on the future of seamless, secure digital experiences across industries. 

As we move into 2025, we remain focused on advancing the boundaries of mobile security and digital identity. From enhancing mobile app protection to enabling frictionless, secure identity verification, V-Key is committed to delivering solutions that are not only secure and user-friendly but adaptable to the diverse needs of businesses and industries. We thank our clients, partners, and supporters for their trust over the years. Together, we will continue to drive innovation and create a safer digital future for all.
