CROWDSTRIKE UNVEILS NEW SINGAPORE HUB, CEMENTING COMMITMENT TO PROTECT BUSINESSES IN ASIA

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 (Bernama) -- CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, has opened its new office in Singapore that will serve as a central hub for the company in Asia.

The new office highlights CrowdStrike’s regional investment and will double the capacity of the previous facilities in Singapore, further cementing the cybersecurity leader’s local presence and commitment to protecting organisations in Singapore and across Asia.

Its vice president of APJ, Geoff Swaine in a statement said it is critical that businesses in Asia adopt modern cybersecurity solutions and a proactive approach to protecting themselves to combat adversaries targeting countries like Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.

“We saw this need when we first established an office in Singapore in 2016 and have continued to grow our team and business in the region.

“Over that time, CrowdStrike has supported many businesses across multiple sectors and sizes in the shift from using legacy, often signature-based, security solutions that are unable to protect against modern cyber-attacks towards AI-driven and intelligence-based cybersecurity platforms,” he said.

The new office will also include training facilities that CrowdStrike customers and partners can leverage to share best practices on the latest cyber defence strategies and upskill cybersecurity professionals to defend against the adversaries targeting the region.

The move to the new office follows significant business success for the cybersecurity leader in Asia, with Asia Pacific (including Japan) contributing to 10 per cent of CrowdStrike’s total revenue.

Headquartered in the United States with over 23,000 customers, ranging from small businesses to leading global brands and government entities, CrowdStrike is fuelling the next era of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cybersecurity to stay ahead of rapidly evolving adversary tradecraft and stop breaches.
