Cybersecurity: Israeli Cyber Defense Deepens India Commitment with Launch of Data Residency Instance

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), an Israeli cyber security solution, launched its India-based data residency instance of Check Point Harmony SASE, reinforcing its commitment to enabling secure digital transformation for Indian enterprises. This new instance brings localized, cloud-delivered network security—designed to address India’s regulatory environment and growing demand for scalable, secure, and compliant cloud adoption.

With India accelerating cloud adoption across sectors, the launch represents a critical investment in the region. Indian organizations—especially those in BFSI, telecom, healthcare, and government—require scalable security infrastructures that support remote work, SaaS usage, and branch connectivity, while adhering to domestic compliance regulations.

The India instance of Harmony SASE has been designed with a deep understanding of the local regulatory landscape. As the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) comes into effect, alongside mandates from regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), data sovereignty and localized processing have become essential. Harmony SASE ensures that sensitive data is processed and stored within Indian borders, supports consent-based data handling, and helps organizations remain compliant while retaining the agility needed for digital innovation.

“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. “With the launch of Harmony SASE’s India instance, we’re giving Indian enterprises the ability to move fast and stay secure—combining advanced AI-driven protection with local data residency, low-latency access, and seamless compliance.”
