“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,” said Hope. “Awareness for critical infrastructure cybersecurity is increasing every day, with new regulatory requirements playing a major role in organisations’ investment in cybersecurity solutions. We recognise this demand, and our new headquarters will help us deliver to customers across the region.”
The new Singapore headquarters will also see Nozomi Networks enhance its partner network in the region. The organisation already works closely with a range of specialist partners across the Asia Pacific & Japan region.
