Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced the launch of 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.
Check Point Harmony SASE is a unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that delivers
enterprise-grade protection to users, devices, applications, and data—wherever they are. It
consolidates multiple security functions into a single cloud-delivered platform, including Firewall-as-
a-Service (FWaaS), Secure Web Gateway, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), SaaS, and SD-WAN.
Powered by Check Point’s ThreatCloud™, it delivers industry-leading threat detection rates of over
99%.
The platform’s hybrid security architecture—combining on-device and cloud-based
protections—enables up to 10x faster secure access and high-performance connectivity. Harmony
SASE leverages AI to proactively detect and block threats such as malware, phishing, and anomalous
behavior. Its machine learning-backed SaaS security provides deep visibility and control over cloud
applications, while a unified, single-pane-of-glass interface simplifies policy enforcement,
monitoring, and reporting across the enterprise, data centers and cloud, enabling unified
management.
Check Point’s AI Copilot Smart Assistant also helps with support issues and provides insights into
Harmony SASE’s features and benefits. The India instance is further supported by over 80 global
Points of Presence (PoPs), including local infrastructure in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, and New
Delhi, ensuring low-latency access and compliance-ready performance nationwide, adhering to local
compliance requirements.
India – A Strategic Market for Securing Digital Transformation with Regulatory Requirements
With India accelerating cloud adoption across sectors, the launch of a local Harmony SASE instance
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.”
He continued, “An organization in India is now targeted more than 3,200 times per week in the last 6
months, far above the global average according to our Check Point Threat Intelligence Report.
Harmony SASE has been purpose-built to address this challenge.”
