Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike announced several in-country regional cloud deployments for Saudi Arabia, India, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The deployments will come as part of the company’s Global Data Sovereignty Initiative, with additional geographies to follow. CrowdStrike said that these deployments will extend its data sovereignty initiative in-country while “preserving a unified global defense model.”
Regional organizations will be able to deploy CrowdStrike’s AI-powered Falcon platform with data resident in-country, while remaining connected to its global telemetry, threat intelligence, and threat hunting services. The company said the expansion will allow organizations to “maintain resilient security operations without creating regional silos or blind spots.”
“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," CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz explained in a statement. “Expanding secure data sovereignty in Saudi Arabia, India, and the UAE gives organizations local data residency as part of a unified global security model, without sacrificing security or the global intelligence required to stop breaches.”
