The 2nd Asia Data Center Summit, Hong Kong
CWG Innovations exhibited at the 2nd Asia Data Center Summit & Industry Exhibition at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre — two days bringing together data-centre, AI and cybersecurity leaders from across Asia-Pacific to discuss AI compute upgrades, data compliance, low-carbon computing and the regional AI ecosystem.

Our Regional Director for APAC, Aaron Ang — also a Non-Executive Director of Edvance International Holdings (HKEX: 1410) and Vice-President of the Digital Defence Alliance Singapore — took part in two sessions at the summit.
Unified AI: Converging Frontier Capability, Security and Efficiency
Aaron examined how AI is reshaping the enterprise landscape — the ever-expanding attack surface, the real cost of tokens, and where enterprise AI adoption is heading next.
AI security is a different game
In an interview with the Hong Kong Economic Times, Aaron argued that the security threats enterprises face when adopting AI are fundamentally different from traditional cybersecurity:
- The barrier to attack has collapsed. Attackers no longer need deep technical knowledge — anyone who understands how AI works can exploit it, often just by using language or psychology to persuade a model.
- AI agents open a new attack surface. As companies deploy agents to read documents, organise data and handle email, attackers can embed hidden instructions that only the AI can read. “There’s no need to break through a firewall — the AI will follow the instructions and execute whatever they want.”
- Guardrails don’t hold for long. Model guardrails are broken quickly, and new vulnerabilities emerge faster than in conventional cybersecurity — making dedicated AI security essential.
The answer: Unified AI governance
Aaron’s view is that the future of AI governance lies in consolidating the enterprise “AI stack” into a single management platform — Unified AI — much as cloud computing once unified fragmented infrastructure. That gives organisations full visibility into which models and agents their people use, and whether they are used safely, systematising today’s ungoverned “AI sprawl” before it compounds risk across the business.
Dialogue: Investment Strategy and Regional Growth in Key Global Markets
Alongside two fellow industry leaders, Aaron analysed AI-infrastructure investment trends and the build-out of regional digital ecosystems across key global markets.
RealRelay.ai at the summit
The summit also spotlighted RealRelay.ai — the unified AI platform from CWG Innovations and our partner Edvance International Holdings (HKEX: 1410) — built on a simple principle: one platform to govern every AI model. Highlights shared on stage included access to 300+ global models through a single interface, key and bill; smart routing that matches each task to the right model and cuts AI spend by an average of 40%; and security built in rather than bolted on, with zero-trust masking of sensitive data and no use of your data for model training.
