RSA Announces Strategic Investment with Launch of Southeast Asia Region Cloud Tenant
Singapore, 23 July 2024—RSA, the security-first identity leader, today announced additional strategic investments in the Asia Pacific and Japan region to help support organisations adapt to emerging cybersecurity threats and meet data sovereignty controls and government regulations with the launch of its new Southeast Asia (SEA) Region Cloud tenant, based in Singapore.
Southeast Asia represents one of the world’s fastest growing regional economies, with GDP growth in all economies during the first quarter of 2024. That accelerated growth, rapid digital transformation, and regional governments’ drive for data sovereignty, compliance, and reporting are pushing local organisations to adopt cloud technologies that can meet local demand and strengthen their cyber defence capabilities.
Those rapid changes introduce new risks, with more users, devices, and compliance regulations enlarging the attack surface. To anticipate those risks, organisations should prioritise securing their identities—which are one of the most frequent vectors threat actors use to breach organisations, deploy ransomware, and launch other attacks—and working with vendors that have a security-first pedigree and bleeding-edge identity security capabilities.
The Southeast Asia Cloud Tenant builds on recent cloud investments RSA has made in Japan, India, and Australia to meet the growing customer demand for RSA® ID Plus, the complete identity and access management (IAM) platform that secures customers across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. The new Southeast Asia Cloud Tenant will empower businesses across Singapore and Southeast Asia to secure access, mitigate risk, and increase productivity with the RSA Unified Identity Platform, which provides the automated identity intelligence, access management, access governance, authentication, and lifecycle capabilities organisations need to protect their identities and meet every changing government regulatory requirements.
“RSA is prioritizing Southeast Asia as a strategic market,” said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai. “Unmet market demand for security-first solutions and our growing success with local organisations persuaded RSA to make significant investments in the region and continue helping more leaders deploy a unified identity platform.”
“Moving to the cloud can either be great for your business, or it can be great for cybercriminals,” said RSA Chief Product and Technology Officer Jim Taylor. “To operate in the cloud securely, organisations need to account for the new risks that it introduces and deploy the security-first solutions needed to protect all users, devices, and entitlements across all environments.”
“RSA has seen significant growth in the 30 years we’ve worked in Singapore, and our local partners have helped accelerate market demand for our SaaS solutions,” said Charles Lim, Director – Commercial & Channels, APAC. “This investment will build on that momentum while helping organisations across Southeast Asia operate securely and effectively in the cloud.”
