Fortinet, a leader in cybersecurity, has launched a new regional Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Singapore to bolster cloud security services across ASEAN and South Asia. This strategic move aims to enhance data residency, compliance, and digital transformation for businesses in the region. The new hub will provide advanced cloud security services, addressing the increasing complexity of managing multi-cloud environments and evolving regulatory demands.
The Singapore PoP is part of Fortinet’s FortiCNAPP, a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform, which offers AI-powered threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance insights. This expansion complements Fortinet’s existing infrastructure in Asia-Pacific, including a PoP in Australia, and extends its global reach with existing hubs in North America and Europe.
Vishak Raman, Fortinet’s Vice President of Sales for India, SAARC, Southeast Asia, and ANZ, stated, “Fortinet’s investment in Singapore reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the region’s digital growth.” The new PoP will enable organisations to keep data within national borders, ensuring compliance with local regulations whilst providing faster access to cloud security services.
Jess Ng, Country Head for Singapore and Brunei at Fortinet, highlighted the importance of the new PoP in addressing complex cloud environments and security challenges. “Our new FortiCNAPP PoP in Singapore delivers advanced protection, real-time visibility, and scalability,” Ng said.
This development comes as Fortinet’s 2025 State of Cloud Security Report reveals that 78% of organisations in the region use multiple cloud providers, with 61% citing security and compliance as top concerns. Fortinet’s continued investments ensure that enterprises and governments have access to scalable, resilient, and regionally compliant security solutions.
