SentinelOne launches its Singularity cybersecurity platform locally on Google Cloud in Saudi Arabia, enabling data sovereignty and faster AI-driven threat response.
SentinelOne has launched a locally hosted version of its Singularity cybersecurity platform in Saudi Arabia, making the service available through Google Cloud’s Dammam region as demand rises for data-sovereign security solutions across the Kingdom.

The launch allows Saudi government entities, financial institutions, energy companies, healthcare providers, and operators of critical infrastructure to deploy SentinelOne’s AI-driven cybersecurity tools while ensuring that sensitive data remains within national borders. Security logs, telemetry, and incident data are now stored and processed entirely inside Saudi Arabia.
Local hosting is increasingly critical for organisations operating under Saudi data protection and cybersecurity regulations, including the Saudi Data and Personal Data Protection Law (SDPPL) and frameworks set by the National Cybersecurity Authority. The move also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader digital transformation agenda under Vision 2030, which promotes cloud adoption while maintaining strict controls over sensitive and strategic data.
Meriam ElOuazzani, SentinelOne’s regional senior director for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, said the local deployment reflects Saudi Arabia’s ambition to position itself as a global digital and technology hub.
“Hosting the platform locally in Dammam enables organisations to strengthen their cyber resilience without exporting security data outside the Kingdom,” ElOuazzani said, adding that the investment demonstrates SentinelOne’s long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia and its national priorities.
Beyond regulatory compliance, local deployment delivers operational benefits. By reducing latency, agent-to-cloud communication and threat-hunting queries can be handled within the Kingdom, allowing faster detection and response. This enables SentinelOne’s autonomous security software to identify, block, and remediate cyber threats at machine speed.
The expansion comes as cyber risks intensify across Saudi Arabia, driven by rapid cloud migration, digital government services, and growing investment in AI and data-intensive infrastructure. Critical sectors such as energy, finance, and healthcare have become high-value targets for increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.
By offering a locally hosted platform, SentinelOne positions Singularity as a scalable security foundation for protecting cloud-native workloads, enterprise systems, and AI infrastructure itself. As organisations deploy more advanced analytics and automation tools, securing the underlying digital backbone has become a strategic priority.
Saudi Arabia is one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing markets for cloud and cybersecurity services, with global technology providers expanding local data center capacity to meet enterprise and regulatory demand. SentinelOne’s integration with Google Cloud’s Dammam region places it among a growing group of vendors localizing infrastructure to support the Kingdom’s push for secure, sovereign digital transformation.
Why SentinelOne Matters to MENA
As governments and enterprises across MENA tighten data residency and cybersecurity requirements, technology providers are being forced to localize infrastructure. SentinelOne’s Saudi deployment shows how data sovereignty, AI-driven security, and cloud adoption are converging, offering a model for regulated digital transformation across the region.
