In June 2024, Palo Alto Networks, an American cybersecurity firm, announced the opening of a new cloud location in Indonesia. This new cloud infrastructure provides Indonesian customers comprehensive access to Palo Alto Networks’ security solutions while addressing local data residency requirements.
In Indonesia, cloud technology is growing quickly. The key factors driving the growth of the cloud market in Indonesia include widespread digital transformation within companies, rising internet and mobile device usage across the country, and a growing demand for big data. Future industrial products will have cloud capabilities, necessitating a cloud platform to showcase digital business functions.
However, companies, especially in finance, need to make sure they follow local rules about data storage. As these organizations grow and use more cloud services, it becomes harder and more resource-intensive to spot and stop threats. According to Palo Alto Networks’ 2024 report, 98% of companies store sensitive information in various places, such as on-site servers, public and private clouds, SaaS applications, and endpoints. This widespread storage makes it clear that security challenges are significant.
With the comprehensive range of security services, local businesses can enhance their data security framework, accelerate threat detection and response, automate attack surface management, and transition to an AI-driven, highly automated cloud environment.
