Cementing Commitment to Protecting
Businesses in the Region
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today announced the opening of its
new office in Singapore that will serve as a central hub for
CrowdStrike in Asia. The new office highlights CrowdStrike’s
regional investment and will double the capacity of the previous
facilities in Singapore, further cementing the cybersecurity
leader’s local presence and commitment to protecting organizations
in Singapore and across Asia.
Headquartered in the U.S. with global operations, CrowdStrike is
one of the fastest growing and most innovative security companies
in the world. With over 23,000 customers, ranging from small
businesses to leading global brands and government entities,
CrowdStrike is fueling the next era of AI-powered cybersecurity to
stay ahead of rapidly evolving adversary tradecraft and stop
breaches. The company’s market-defining CrowdStrike Falcon®
platform, elite incident response and services, and renowned cyber
threat intelligence team have made CrowdStrike one of the most
trusted brands in cybersecurity.
The new office will also include training facilities that
CrowdStrike customers and partners can leverage to share best
practices on the latest cyber defense strategies and upskill
cybersecurity professionals to defend against the adversaries
targeting the region.
The move to the new office follows significant business success
for the cybersecurity leader in Asia. CrowdStrike’s financial
results for the third quarter fiscal year 2024, ended October 31,
2023, reported $81 million of revenue in Asia Pacific (including
Japan), a 36% year-over-year increase compared to the third quarter
fiscal year 2023, ended October 31, 2022. APAC (including Japan)
contributes to 10% of CrowdStrike's total revenue.
“Asia is a hotbed for cyber-criminal activity. We saw average
ransomware demands in Southeast Asia more than doubled in the last
four weeks to $8.5 million compared to the four weeks prior. With
all of this activity, it’s critical that businesses in Asia adopt
modern cybersecurity solutions and a proactive approach to
protecting themselves to combat adversaries targeting countries
like Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia,” said Geoff
Swaine, vice president, APJ for CrowdStrike.
“We saw this need when we first established an office in
Singapore in 2016 and have continued to grow our team and business
in the region. Over that time, CrowdStrike has supported many
businesses across multiple sectors and sizes in the shift from
using legacy, often signature-based, security solutions that are
unable to protect against modern cyber-attacks towards AI-driven
and intelligence-based cybersecurity platforms.”
Asia has long been a target for cyber criminals. According to
the CrowdStrike 2023 Threat Hunting Report, the top five vertical
industry sectors in order of intrusion frequency in Asia Pacific
and Japan were technology, telecommunications, retail, financial
and manufacturing. In Southeast Asia over the last four weeks, big
game hunting victims (a type of cyberattack that usually leverages
ransomware to target large, high-value organizations or
high-profile entities) increased to 416 compared to 357 from the
four week period before according to CrowdStrike Counter Adversary
Operations. Geographically, Asia has two of the main nation-state
threats in China and North Korea within its borders; while
China-nexus actors are particularly prolific, observed across 14
industry verticals.
