CrowdStrike has rolled out new cloud regions to enhance data sovereignty. The move is aimed at supporting organisations that need better control over their sensitive cybersecurity data. CrowdStrike has rolled out its Falcon platform into new geographic regions. This means that customers can process and store their data within defined national or regional boundaries. The new cloud regions support the same capabilities as the Falcon platform. These include threat intelligence, endpoint security, identity security, and cloud security. Therefore, customers will enjoy the same security operations without violating the data sovereignty standards.
“Data sovereignty requirements cannot come at the cost of AI-powered security. Adversaries continue to exploit global infrastructure with novel techniques. 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.”
Strengthening Compliance and Performance Across Industries
In addition, the growth also benefits the public and non-profit sectors. Financial service providers, healthcare, and critical infrastructure organisations may be required to comply with strict data residency requirements. CrowdStrike meets these requirements through localised cloud infrastructure and secure operations. In addition, the localised cloud strategy promotes faster performance and lower latency. Localised data processing facilitates faster incident response with overall enterprise visibility for security operations. Therefore, organisations can quickly react to new threats. CrowdStrike built the new clouds with compliance and privacy capabilities. The capabilities allow organisations to remain compliant with regional regulations while simplifying audits and compliance. In addition, customers can benefit from CrowdStrike’s innovation in all regions. Through this move, CrowdStrike strengthens its leadership in cloud-native cybersecurity. The company continues to invest in secure infrastructure that balances innovation, compliance, and data sovereignty at a global scale.
