CrowdStrike تطلق سحابة سيادية في السعودية: بيانات منصة Falcon للأمن السيبراني تبقى داخل المملكة، ومعها حماية لوكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعيCrowdStrike launches a sovereign cloud in Saudi Arabia, keeping its Falcon cybersecurity platform's data in the Kingdom, with protection for AI agents

Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has launched a sovereign cloud version of its Falcon platform in Saudi Arabia, according to a company statement on 4 November at its Fal.Con Europe event. The idea is that government bodies, critical national infrastructure and businesses can run their cybersecurity on the platform while their data stays in the Kingdom.

According to the statement, Falcon's security workloads, customer telemetry and management infrastructure are all hosted in Saudi Arabia, and the architecture is designed to align with applicable Saudi cybersecurity, cloud and data protection requirements. The statement does not name specific regulations or authorities.

The platform includes AI agent security: it discovers the AI agents an organisation uses, shows what they do and which systems and data they reach, and stops malicious agent activity in real time. The company says it combines local data residency with its global threat intelligence and expert-led threat hunting.

CrowdStrike's chief business officer said attackers operate without borders and sovereignty shouldn't mean sacrificing security. Aramco's Executive Vice President of Technology & Innovation called "this relationship" a step toward supporting the Kingdom's growth; the statement does not explain the nature of the relationship with Aramco. The service is available now to customers and authorised partners. No prices, data centre locations or customer names were given.
