A signing ceremony was held at the Hangzhou 2022 Main Media Centre to officialise the cooperation.

OCA acting general director Vinod Kumar Tiwari welcomed the deal, claiming it would offer the "highest standards of professionalism in protection" in the build up to the Games which are scheduled to take place from Saturday (September 23) until October 8.

DAS Security chairman Fan Yuan claimed that the company's history of providing its services at major events has resulted in it being able to deliver an "iron-cast safety net".

"DAS-Security is a member of the OCA family and the official cyber security prestige partner for the 19th Asian Games as well as the Olympic Council of Asia," Tiwari said.

"We are very pleased to have them as an OCA sponsor."

"The services of DAS-Security will lead to a safe and reliable technical support for cyber security for the Asian Games.

"The data protection will provide an impartial environment for these Games.

"With only four days to go for the Opening Ceremony of the 19th Asian Games, today's signing ceremony is a significant step to start the Asian Games journey. 

"We believe with your contribution, these Games will be safe, wonderful and a remarkable event." 

Triple badminton world champion and International Olympic Committee member Li Lingwei was also present at the signing ceremony.

Li, also vice-president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, stated that "cyber security is just as important as winning a gold medal" which would be invaluable in Hangzhou.
