Built on Google Cloud, the New-Scale Security Operations Platform will leverage the Dammam Google Cloud region (me-central2) to meet demand for growing cloud-native security requirements.

“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.

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 from 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.
