CrowdStrike has announced the expansion of its Global Data Sovereignty initiative through planned in-country regional cloud deployments in Saudi Arabia, India, and the United Arab Emirates, with further geographies to follow. These new regional clouds enable organizations to maintain local data residency on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform while preserving full access to global threat intelligence, telemetry, and a consistent, unified security experience worldwide.
Data sovereignty regulations increasingly require organizations to keep certain data within national borders, yet adversaries operate globally without such constraints, exploiting shared infrastructure with advanced techniques. CrowdStrike’s strategy balances these requirements by offering in-country deployments that provide local residency while keeping security operations connected to the broader Falcon platform ecosystem.
“Data sovereignty requirements cannot come at the cost of AI-powered security. Adversaries continue to exploit global infrastructure with novel techniques and without regard for local data sovereignty policies,” said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. “Expanding secure data sovereignty in Saudi Arabia, India, and the UAE gives organizations local data residency as part of a unified global security model, without sacrificing security or the global intelligence required to stop breaches.”
This unified model allows security teams to correlate signals, apply real-time intelligence, and respond rapidly to threats that transcend borders, ensuring protection scales at the speed of modern attacks.
The new regional clouds deliver several key advantages:
By combining regional sovereignty with global protection, CrowdStrike enables enterprises to meet jurisdictional obligations while maintaining the comprehensive visibility and threat-hunting strength needed in today’s borderless threat landscape.
