AppOmni, a leader in SaaS security posture management (SSPM), has proudly announced the establishment of a new data centre in Sydney, Australia, hosted by the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This move is expected to bring AppOmni’s comprehensive SaaS security solutions to a wide range of organizations, both private and public, that are required to comply with Australia’s data sovereignty regulations, including the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles.
The strategic decision to expand into Australia reflects AppOmni’s commitment to addressing the growing need in the APAC region to counter sophisticated threats targeting SaaS applications. The 25% of Fortune 100 companies that already trust AppOmni to secure their SaaS ecosystems serve as a testament to the company’s expertise and track record in the industry. As Brendan O’Connor, CEO and co-founder of AppOmni, stated, “In the rapidly evolving SaaS threat landscape, it’s important to maintain a robust security posture. As AppOmni leads the way in SaaS Security Posture Management, our expansion into Australia and the addition of the data centre represents a significant milestone in our own global growth.”
One of the key benefits of the new data centre is the assurance of both global and local compliance. As the Australian cloud data centre provider for AppOmni, Google Cloud Platform implements and maintains technical and organizational security measures under globally and locally recognized security assurance frameworks and certifications. This includes the certification from the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), ensuring that the data centre will satisfy the data privacy and data sovereignty requirements for customers seeking to secure business-critical platforms, including Microsoft365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Okta, and Workday.
In addition, AppOmni’s regional data centre presence will provide Australia-New Zealand organizations with local access to its proven SaaS Security Posture Management Service. This will ensure lower latency and faster response times to support the end-user experience and application performance, catering to the specific needs of the local market.
The enhanced scalability offered by the new data centre is also a significant advantage, as it provides robust monitoring of SaaS services in the APAC region. This will enable efficient and proactive resource allocation to handle increased user workloads and surging volumes of data traffic. The proactive approach can help minimize the risk of service disruptions and data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations, critical infrastructure sectors, and government agencies.
AppOmni’s expansion into Australia and the addition of the new data centre reflects the company’s dedication to helping customers and partners in APAC meet local compliance standards, including those set by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and the Information Security Manual (ISM). This move also positions AppOmni to leverage insights gained from its experiences worldwide, further enhancing its capabilities and services in the region.
For organizations looking to enhance their SaaS security posture and ensure compliance with local regulations, AppOmni encourages them to reach out and understand how the company can address their specific security needs. The establishment of the new data centre in Sydney represents a significant step forward for AppOmni and its commitment to providing cutting-edge SaaS security solutions to the APAC region.
