- SentinelOne has activated local hosting of its Singularity AI security platform on Google Cloud in Saudi Arabia
- Saudi organisations gain autonomous threat prevention, detection and response with all security data kept inside the Kingdom
- The deployment supports Vision 2030, regulatory compliance and stronger cyber resilience across critical sectors in the Middle East
SentinelOne has announced the local availability of its AI-native Singularity Platform on Google Cloud in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant expansion of its presence in the Kingdom and providing in-country, AI-powered cybersecurity for public and private sector entities. The deployment, hosted in Google Cloud’s Dammam region, is designed to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions around digital transformation and national cyber resilience while meeting stringent data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
By hosting the Singularity Platform entirely within Saudi Arabia, SentinelOne ensures that customer security data – including logs, threat telemetry, agent data and incident reports – remains inside national borders. This architecture is intended to help organisations comply with Saudi data residency and privacy regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA and frameworks issued by the National Cybersecurity Authority. It is particularly relevant for public sector bodies, financial institutions, energy companies, healthcare providers and operators of critical national infrastructure.
The platform delivers autonomous threat prevention, detection and response, using AI-driven agents to analyse behaviour, detect malicious activity and remediate threats in real time. Local hosting in the Dammam cloud region reduces latency for agent-to-cloud communication, allowing threat-hunting queries and response actions to be processed at ‘machine speed’. This can enable security operations teams to detect, investigate and contain attacks faster than is possible with human-driven workflows alone, while maintaining a sovereign operating environment.
For Saudi organisations accelerating cloud adoption and digital transformation, the availability of the Singularity Platform on Google Cloud offers a modern, scalable foundation for cyber defence. It is designed to support the protection of AI infrastructure, cloud-native workloads and hybrid environments, giving enterprises a consistent security layer as they modernise applications and infrastructure. At the same time, the local deployment model addresses regulatory expectations that sensitive security data should be retained and processed within the Kingdom.
SentinelOne describes the launch as a major milestone in its long-term investment in Saudi Arabia and its regional strategy.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the most forward-thinking digital economies in the world, driven by Vision 2030’s commitment to technological leadership and national cyber resilience,” said Meriam ElOuazzani, Regional Senior Director, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa at SentinelOne. “Local availability in Dammam helps ensure that organisations across the public and private sectors can strengthen their cyber resilience while keeping their organisation’s security data completely within the country. This investment reflects our long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia and reinforces our mission to empower customers with advanced, autonomous protection that drives national priorities and fuels secure innovation.”
