Posted by Austin, USA: Cybersecurity major CrowdStrike has advanced its global data sovereignty initiative with new regional clouds. The company has planned new in-country regional cloud deployments for Saudi Arabia, India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with other nations to follow.
These deployments, according to the company empower organisations to adopt and consolidate on its Falcon platform locally while delivering a consistent Falcon experience across the globe.
“Data sovereignty requirements cannot come at the cost of AI-powered security. Adversaries continue to exploit global infrastructure with novel techniques and without regard for local data sovereignty policies,” said George Kurtz, CEO and Founder of CrowdStrike.
“Expanding secure data sovereignty in Saudi Arabia, India, and the UAE gives organisations local data residency as part of a unified global security model, without sacrificing security or the global intelligence required to stop breaches,” added Kurtz.
New regional clouds and secure data sovereignty
These new regional cloud deployments in Saudi Arabia, India and UAE s will extend CrowdStrike’s Data Sovereignty initiative in-country, while preserving a unified global defence model. Organisations operating in these regions gain local deployment options without isolating security operations or weakening protection against adversaries operating across shared infrastructure.
This expansion enables regional organisations to deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with data resident in-country. They will remain fully connected to CrowdStrike’s global telemetry, threat intelligence, and expert-led threat hunting services. And will able to maintain resilient security operations without creating regional silos or blind spots, the company said.
