Global IoT cybersecurity leader Nozomi Networks has announced the establishment of its new Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) headquarters in Singapore. This strategic move comes on the heels of Nozomi’s recent US$1b acquisition by Mitsubishi Electric, marking a significant milestone in operational technology security. The decision to base the headquarters in Singapore is driven by the city-state’s strategic location, skilled workforce, and leadership in industrial cybersecurity.
Nozomi Networks, which serves nearly 100 customers across the APJ region, aims to leverage Singapore’s role as a leading business hub to accelerate innovation and provide enhanced support to its growing customer base. The company is committed to strengthening critical infrastructure security through collaboration with Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) and adherence to frameworks like the Cybersecurity Act.
David Hope, Nozomi’s regional vice president, highlighted the increasing awareness of critical infrastructure cybersecurity and the role of regulatory requirements in driving organisations’ investment in cybersecurity solutions. “Nozomi Networks has worked hand in hand with Singaporean industry, critical infrastructure, and government leaders to raise the bar on industrial cyber security, and it’s fitting now to make the country our APJ headquarters,” Hope stated.
The new headquarters will also enable Nozomi Networks to expand its partner network in the region, supporting its mission to deliver robust cybersecurity solutions. This development further solidifies Nozomi’s global presence and underscores its commitment to supporting the CSA’s vision of a secure and resilient operational technology system for Singapore’s critical infrastructure.
