MELBOURNE, Australia, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lydsec Keypasco Digital Technology Company recently announced a successful partnership with its Australian distributor, Auspac One. Together, the companies have deployed the Keypasco Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) solution at Nazareth College in Melbourne, Australia, enabling the school to address the dual challenge of a “campus mobile‑phone ban” policy and stringent MFA requirements mandated by cyber insurance providers.

As digital learning becomes universal, the use of laptops and mobile devices in schools worldwide has surged, expanding the attack surface for cyber threats. In Australia, the education sector now faces strict MFA mandates tied to cyber insurance policies and defense‑related compliance frameworks, yet many schools enforce “no phones in class” policies, rendering traditional MFA solutions that rely on SMS or mobile apps unusable on campus.

Campbell Pan, co‑founder of Auspac One, noted that the Australian education sector has experienced an increase in cyber threats in recent years. As a result, Auspac One partnered with Lydsec Keypasco to address these challenges using ‘device‑binding’ technology, with the goal of creating a safe and stable learning environment for schools and students.

Leveraging its patented MFA technology, Lydsec Keypasco shifts the authentication mechanism from the mobile phone to the student’s primary learning device—the laptop. This approach allows schools to securely integrate with hybrid cloud architectures without issuing physical hardware tokens to students.

The IT department at Nazareth College emphasized that, compared with distributing physical hardware tokens, the Lydsec Keypasco solution eliminates significant procurement, replacement, and logistics costs. Most importantly, the solution offers strong architectural flexibility, supporting hybrid cloud environments and integrating seamlessly with existing on‑premises domain controllers. This capability enabled the school to quickly bring all 1,100 students’ Windows and macOS devices under centralized, secure management.

Cindianne Lin, general manager of Lydsec Keypasco, stated that the successful collaboration with Nazareth College helps strengthens critical security gaps for the Microsoft 365 platform in specialized education environments. Following the completion of this initial deployment in Melbourne, discussions for partnerships with additional schools across Australia have accelerated. Lydsec Keypasco plans to expand this authentication model to more campuses and various corporate environments, helping to address similar cybersecurity pain points.

LeanDNA Launches Demand Scenario Modeling in APEX, Replacing Spreadsheet Guesswork With Real-Time Production Feasibility

Published

35 minutes ago

August 25, 2026

New capability lets production planners test demand changes against live supply and BOM data in minutes, without exporting ERP data or risking live system records.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeanDNA, a leading intelligent supply chain execution platform, today announced the general availability of Demand Scenario Modeling (DSM), a new capability within its APEX platform that lets production planners, buyers, and supply chain managers instantly test demand changes against real supply and Bill of Materials (BOM) data, without spreadsheets or system risk.

When forecasts shift, most production planners still turn to spreadsheets to find out whether production can support it: exporting ERP data, flattening multi-level BOMs, and reconciling supply just to answer one question — can we build this? The process is slow, error-prone, and disconnected from real-time system data, and it often produces false shortages that obscure the actual constraints.

Demand Scenario Modeling replaces that manual exercise with what-if analysis built directly into APEX. Production planners can model a demand change and immediately see which components truly constrain production, how many units can realistically be built, and where shortage risk increases, turning a process that has historically taken hours into a workflow measured in minutes.

Because DSM runs in a sandbox environment connected to live ERP and BOM data, planners can test and compare multiple scenarios, adjust quantities and dates, and recalculate instantly, without posting temporary plans or manipulating live records to get an answer. That combination of speed and system safety is central to how LeanDNA has built the capability.

“Production planners shouldn’t have to choose between speed and safety when they’re testing a demand change,” said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. “Demand Scenario Modeling gives them both: an answer in minutes, grounded in the same supply and BOM data running their factory, without ever touching a live ERP record. It replaces guesswork with a repeatable way to say yes, no, or not yet with confidence.”

Demand Scenario Modeling is available now to APEX customers and is purpose-built for the tactical-to-mid-horizon planning window — roughly one to twelve months out — where production teams most often need to turn a demand question into a production commitment.
