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.

“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.”
