Enterprises Freeze Hiring While Pushing Ahead on AI and Cybersecurity Projects. Webpuppies Responds with On-Demand Pods

Singapore, August 2025 - Across Asia, enterprises are slowing down on hiring while accelerating digital transformation programs. CIOs and CISOs continue to face pressure to deliver automation, AI pilots, and stronger cybersecurity frameworks despite shrinking internal capacity.

To help address this shift, Webpuppies has introduced AI and Cybersecurity Pods, a delivery model that allows organizations to access specialized teams on demand. Instead of expanding headcount, leaders can plug into Pods for focused execution in quarterly cycles.

"Enterprises are rethinking their operating models. Hiring is slowing, but the work does not stop," said Abhi Dabas, CEO of Webpuppies. "Pods give leaders a way to keep delivering outcomes without the overhead and delays of building permanent teams."

How Pods Work
Pods are structured as fractional, product-focused teams that can be deployed quickly:

> AI and Automation Pod: Moves AI pilots into production and automates manual workflows.
> Cybersecurity and Compliance Pod: Identifies risks, strengthens defenses, and ensures compliance with PDPA, GDPR, and MAS guidelines.

Within one quarter, Pods are expected to deliver outcomes such as:
> AI pilots transitioned into production
> Key workflows automated
> Security risks identified and remediated
> Compliance benchmarks achieved

Why It Matters
The hiring slowdown across industries has created an execution gap in technology adoption. Enterprises are looking for flexible ways to scale projects without taking on long-term commitments. Pods represent one model for closing that gap.

Webpuppies has already supported enterprises including Abbott and Shimadzu, showing how automation and compliance work can be accelerated under this approach.
