The 19th Defense Services Asia (DSA) exhibition is currently underway in Malaysia. Although Taiwan did not set up a national pavilion, individual Taiwanese firms showcased cybersecurity and anti-drone technologies that captured the attention of high-ranking officials, including Cambodia's Deputy Defense Minister Yun Min and a Malaysian Navy Vice Admiral. Groundhog Technologies presented its 'Cybersecurity 2.0' system, which utilizes AI and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to secure critical infrastructure. Zyxel showcased its locally developed active phased array radar systems. Zyxel VP Lee Bing-chin emphasized the growing importance of 'Non-Red Supply Chains' in ASEAN as geopolitical tensions rise in the South China Sea.

The presence of former and active military personnel at the Taiwan booth underscores Taiwan's strengthening role in regional defense cooperation.
