New offering gives developers, students, and customers access to the full power of Workato’s enterprise-grade engine to build AI agents and MCP servers

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato. 

Workato showcased its self-serve platform and broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore.

Blackpanda will refer brokers to CyberCube’s Broking Manager and license the platform across its regional network, backed by local incident response support for brokers’ clients.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blackpanda, Asia’s leading cyber incident response company, today confirmed a collaboration with CyberCube to bring cyber risk analytics to brokers across Asia. The collaboration pairs CyberCube’s Broking Manager platform with Blackpanda’s incident response presence in the region. Brokers gain the analysis to advise clients on cyber cover, and their clients gain a local team to call when a cyber incident happens.

Brokers in Asia can request an introduction to Broking Manager through Blackpanda.

Cyber risk models used across Asia have typically been benchmarked against a single global average. Broking Manager, CyberCube’s cyber risk analytics platform for brokers used across 40 countries, includes an APAC regional view alongside its loss severity, incident frequency, and security posture benchmarks. As a result, peer comparisons reflect the markets that brokers’ clients actually operate in.

The collaboration has four strands:

Refer: Blackpanda will introduce brokers across Asia to Broking Manager.License: Blackpanda will license Broking Manager for use with its own broker relationships.Respond: Blackpanda’s incident response team is available to support brokers’ clients during live cyber incidents.Research: CyberCube has licensed Blackpanda’s aggregated, anonymised incident data for future regional research.

“Clients are asking their brokers harder questions about cyber exposure and how much cover is enough,” said Gene Yu, Founder and CEO of Blackpanda. “Broking Manager gives brokers a structured way to answer them: the financial-loss analytics and peer-benchmarking insights they need to prepare for client conversations. When an incident happens, their clients can call on our responders, recognised by Frost & Sullivan as Asia-Pacific’s incident response Company of the Year for three years running. Keeping advice and response this close together serves everyone in that conversation.”

Nate Brink, Head of Broker Sales & Account Management at CyberCube, said: “Brokers across Asia have told us for years that a single global benchmark doesn’t reflect what they’re actually seeing in the market. This partnership brings Broking Manager’s regional benchmarking to brokers across Asia, backed by Blackpanda’s reach and incident response expertise in the region, so they can have a more grounded conversation with their clients about exposure and coverage.”

Further detail on Broking Manager’s capabilities is available for viewing here.
