Check Point launches India-based Harmony SASE instance to boost cybersecurity and compliance for enterprises
Check Point Software Technologies
has launched an India-based data residency instance for its Harmony Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform. The initiative aims to provide cloud-delivered network security that aligns with India's regulatory requirements while offering scalable, compliant security solutions.
Harmony SASE
is a unified
cloud security
platform combining firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), secure web gateway, zero-trust network access (ZTNA), SaaS protection, and SD-WAN. The platform, powered by Check Point's ThreatCloud, boasts a 99% threat detection rate and AI-driven security capabilities to proactively block malware, phishing, and anomalous behaviour.
The hybrid security architecture, integrating on-device and cloud-based protections, promises 10x faster secure access, high-performance connectivity, and deep visibility into SaaS applications.
Check Point has deployed localized infrastructure in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, and New Delhi, ensuring low-latency access and adherence to India's
data protection
laws. The launch aligns with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and regulatory mandates from RBI, IRDAI, and TRAI, offering compliance-ready security architecture.
"India is at the forefront of global digital transformation—and as the threat landscape grows more complex, security can no longer be an afterthought," said Sundar Balasubramanian, managing director, Check Point Software Technologies, India & South Asia.
Cybersecurity
threats in India have surged, with organizations facing over 3,200 attacks per week, surpassing the global average, according to Check Point's Threat Intelligence Report. Harmony SASE is tailored to mitigate these risks, providing enhanced security for BFSI, telecom, healthcare, and government sectors.
