Singapore – Computer and network security firm RSA has unveiled additional investments in Asia Pacific and Japan, alongside the introduction of the new Southeast Asia region cloud tenant, based in Singapore. These investments are aimed at supporting organisations to counter new cybersecurity threats and meet data sovereignty controls and government regulations.
The new cloud tenant in the region utilises the company’s cloud investments in Japan, India, and Australia to meet the growing customer demand for RSA ID Plus.
Central to this effort, in particular, is to further empower businesses across Singapore and Southeast Asia to secure access, mitigate risk, and increase productivity with the RSA Unified Identity Platform.
This move provides the automated identity intelligence, access management, access governance, authentication, and lifecycle capabilities organisations need to protect their identities and address evolving regulatory requirements.
Commenting about the effort, Rohit Ghai, chief executive officer at RSA, said, “RSA is prioritising Southeast Asia as a strategic market. 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.”
Jim Taylor, chief product and technology officer at RSA, also shared, “Moving to the cloud can either be great for your business or it can be great for cybercriminals. 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.”
Meanwhile, Charles Lim, director of commercial and channels for APAC at RSA, stated, “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. This investment will build on that momentum while helping organisations across Southeast Asia operate securely and effectively in the cloud.”
