US-based Swimlane to set up regional headquarters in Malaysia

US-based Swimlane will set up its headquarters for the Asia Pacific in Kuala Lumpur as part of a tie-up with CyberSecurity Malaysia to improve cybersecurity analytics and automation in the region, reported Digital News Asia.

As part of the alliance, the two parties have also identified three key initiatives for improving cybersecurity in the region: fostering awareness about the value of automating security operations for organizations, driving up in-country development of talent and skills, and introducing security operations automation to existing and new partners to develop solutions and services for the regional market.

The low-code security automation provider believes the Asia Pacific faces a significant shortage in talent when it comes to cybersecurity. The region currently has over 2 million cybersecurity roles open for hire – which makes up 66% of the total global talent shortage in the field.
