Exabeam, a global leader in AI-driven cybersecurity, has announced the launch of its cloud-native New-Scale Security Operations Platform in Saudi Arabia. The platform, built on Google Cloud, is designed to enhance security operations for local organizations while ensuring in-country data residency. By leveraging Google Cloud's Dammam region (me-central2), Exabeam aims to meet the growing demand for advanced, cloud-native security solutions in the Kingdom. This marks Exabeam's first Middle East cloud region and its ninth globally.
By harnessing the Dammam Google Cloud region, Exabeam allows its customers and partners to embrace its cloud-native New-Scale Platform and add AI-driven analytics on top of the self-hosted LogRhythm SIEM platform. This growth ensures Exabeam can now comprehensively serve customers’ varying SIEM requirements that meet local data residency rules to empower threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR).
“The KSA is uniquely positioned for substantial digital growth, with its Vision 2030 initiative driving unprecedented technological advancements. As the digital landscape grows, it becomes increasingly important that organizations have local cloud coverage to balance the need for cybersecurity innovation with regional data compliance requirements”, said Mazen Adnan Dohaji, Vice President & General Manager iMETA, Exabeam. “The deployment of our first cloud region in the Middle East demonstrates our commitment to strengthening the region’s cybersecurity posture. We are focused on providing organizations in the KSA with dedicated security solutions to respond to emerging threats with speed and accuracy”.
In addition to the launch of its Dammam Google Cloud region, Exabeam is delivering new value in KSA by helping organizations meet the compliance requirements of the National Cybersecurity Authority. The LogRhythm SIEM platform by Exabeam provides a dedicated NCA OTCC Compliance Module to all security teams. This enables analysts to leverage investigations and alarms for immediate analysis of activities within vital operational environments, including critical national infrastructure.
“I am proud of our deep-rooted and long-standing presence in the KSA. Our team works tirelessly with leading governmental and private organizations to help support the nation’s ambition for secure digital transformation, and our new cloud instance is the latest way we’re bringing innovation to the region. Driving cybersecurity momentum in the KSA will remain a core focus for Exabeam as we advance our capabilities to help local organizations accelerate the maturity of their security operations”, said Dohaji.
“As we continue to grow and innovate as a newly merged company, the expansion of cloud coverage in Saudi Arabia represents a crucial step in our mission to deliver exceptional value to vigilant CISOs worldwide,” said Chris O’Malley, CEO at Exabeam. “Whether customers prefer cloud-native, self-hosted, or hybrid deployment, we are dedicated to delivering the flexibility, innovation, and local support they need for their security operations to thrive”.
