CrowdStrike launches sovereign cloud in Saudi Arabia

-

CrowdStrike has announced the launch of its sovereign cloud in Saudi Arabia.

As a result, the new service will help government organisations, critical infrastructure providers and businesses manage their cybersecurity in one place. It combines local data storage with global threat intelligence and AI-powered protection. 

CrowdStrike’s latest launch is part of its Global Data Sovereignty strategy, giving organisations in the Kingdom access to advanced cybersecurity tools while keeping control of their data locally.

CrowdStrike Chief Business Officer, Daniel Bernard, said: “Adversaries operate without borders. Sovereignty shouldn’t mean sacrificing security. With Falcon in Saudi Arabia, organisations get the local data control they need and the global intelligence to stop breaches. We’re giving customers the freedom to embrace AI without compromising security or sovereignty.”

Aramco Executive Vice President of Technology & Innovation, Ahmad O. Al Khowaiter, added: “Through this relationship, we are taking an important step toward supporting the Kingdom’s growth by bringing world-class technologies to Saudi Arabia. Together, we aim to advance the Kingdom’s ambition to lead in secure, AI-driven economic growth and help organisations thrive in the digital age.”
