Netskope, a leader in cloud and AI security, has inaugurated its first data centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and established a local go-to-market team in Indonesia. This expansion aims to bolster performance, data sovereignty, and support for enterprises in both countries, marking a significant step in Netskope’s strategy to enhance its presence in Asia.
The Kuala Lumpur data centre is part of Netskope’s NewEdge network, which now includes 25 data centres across Asia. This facility will accelerate the delivery of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and security services to Malaysian organisations, ensuring robust data protection and compliance with local regulations. The new infrastructure allows Malaysian users to maintain high security standards without compromising network performance.
In Indonesia, the deployment of a local team will provide enhanced customer and partner support, focusing on sales, technical enablement, and training. This initiative aligns with Netskope’s global strategy to work closely with local distributors and partners, empowering them to deliver top-tier services.
Ng May Ching, Chief Information Officer of Maxis, expressed enthusiasm about the new data centre, stating, “By leveraging Netskope’s platform, we have strengthened our data protection capabilities.” Similarly, Sivanathan Subramaniam, Group Chief Risk & Compliance Officer at CTOS Digital Bhd, highlighted the importance of the data centre in supporting data sovereignty and compliance.
Kunal Jha, Regional Director for Asia at Netskope, emphasised the company’s commitment to delivering excellent local support, stating, “These deployments are reinforcing our commitment to delivering excellent local support and service delivery to current and future users in Indonesia and Malaysia.”
Netskope’s expansion reflects its dedication to providing modern security and networking capabilities, crucial for accelerating digital transformation in the region.
