Wiz, an Israeli-United States cloud security startup vendor, has launched its first Australian data center in Sydney, using a highly scalable architecture and adhering to government security guidelines as well as industry standards.
The Sydney data center, according to the company, was established to assist client data sovereignty initiatives. From its new data center, it plans to serve Australian clients like Melbourne-based Linktree, Sydney-based and ASX-listed payments firm OFX, and enterprise IT services provider TechnologyOne.
Moreover, Brisbane partner Baidam Solutions, a Queensland-based security specialist, welcomed the new Wiz Sydney data center.
According to Pip Jenkinson, Baidam Chief Executive, they were pleased by Wiz’s approach to cloud security and were excited about the prospect of working together locally.
“At Baidam Solutions, we’ve had a long history of helping customers optimize their security posture and aligning with sovereign security frameworks.” said Jenkinson.
Jenkinson also added that a real indicator of Wiz’s continuous commitment to assisting regional clients and partners is their statement that they will support the Essential Eight Security Guidelines model from the Australian Cyber Security Centre and their investment in a local data center.
Wiz, a 2020 startup, has a US$100 million yearly revenue and customers that include major multinational corporations like BMW, Mars, Salesforce, Slack, DocuSign, and Agoda.
