– Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the launch of a new regional Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Singapore for Lacework FortiCNAPP, Fortinet’s Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform. This investment reinforces Fortinet’s commitment to strengthening cybersecurity across ASEAN and South Asia, bringing advanced cloud security services closer to customers to help them meet data residency needs, navigate regulatory requirements, and accelerate their digital transformation.
As businesses across Southeast Asia increasingly embrace cloud technologies to drive innovation and growth, the security landscape is becoming more complex. Organizations are managing multi-cloud and hybrid environments while facing evolving regulatory expectations and sophisticated cyber threats. Fortinet’s new FortiCNAPP PoP in Singapore addresses these challenges by providing localized security services that help organizations better protect their cloud-native applications while maintaining control over sensitive data.
The Singapore PoP complements Fortinet’s existing infrastructure in the region and marks Fortinet’s second FortiCNAPP deployment in Asia-Pacific, following its PoP in Australia. With existing Points of Presence in North America, Europe, and Australia, this expansion enhances Fortinet’s ability to deliver security that is closer to wherever businesses operate globally, ensuring greater agility, resilience, and responsiveness.
Scalable, Localized Cloud Security Made Simple
Lacework FortiCNAPP empowers organizations to secure their applications, infrastructure, and workloads across any cloud: public, private, or hybrid. Delivered as a service, its AI-powered engine combines advanced threat detection, vulnerability management, compliance insights, and behavioral analytics into one unified solution. From development through runtime, FortiCNAPP simplifies protection across the entire application lifecycle, helping teams stay secure, compliant, and ahead of threats at scale.
With the launch of FortiCNAPP in Singapore, Fortinet is helping enterprises and partners across ASEAN and South Asia unlock new advantages:
- Enhanced Data Residency: Keep data within the region to meet national and industry-specific regulatory requirements.
- Faster Service Performance: Experience lower latency and faster access to cloud security services, delivering a smoother user experience and greater operational efficiency.

The new Point of Presence also strengthens Fortinet’s partner ecosystem, empowering partners to deliver localized, value-added cloud security services that fuel our customers’ digital transformation.
Advancing ASEAN’s Digital Future
This announcement comes at a time when digital adoption across ASEAN and South Asia is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. According to Fortinet’s 2025 State of Cloud Security Report, 78% of organizations are now using two or more cloud providers, while 61% cite security and compliance as their top concerns when adopting cloud technologies. Fortinet’s continued investments in the region, including the expansion of FortiCNAPP, ensure that enterprises and governments have access to world-class security solutions that are not only scalable and resilient, but also tailored to regional compliance needs and operational realities.
