SaaS security provider Obsidian Security has extended its reach into the Asia Pacific by launching a new data centre in Sydney.
Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the data centre enables locals to deploy Obsidian’s SaaS security solution to protect their SaaS but also meet data governance requirements.
It also safeguards data sovereignty without sacrificing security standards.
“Organisations have moved business-critical data to SaaS for easier and faster business operations. However, traditional on-premise security is falling short of securing these apps, making the safety and locality of this data an urgent necessity,” said Obsidian Security co-founder Glenn Chisholm.

“Without the right security in place, attackers can simply steal one set of login credentials and gain access to your entire network of SaaS applications,” he says.
“Our platform is the only solution that combines application posture with identity security to offer customers complete SaaS security. And with this new data centre, customers can confidently adopt Obsidian to protect their entire SaaS ecosystem without data leaving Australia."
Other recent investments by Obsidian in Australia include the establishment of an Australian Technical Centre of Excellence and expanding local headcount across technical account management, DevOps, quality assurance, and cybersecurity research fields.
