Introducing Wallarm Middle East Cloud: Built for Data Residency Compliance

As API and AI adoption grows across the Middle East, so do the expectations around how data is handled.
For many organizations operating in this region, it’s not just about securing applications. It’s about doing it in a way that keeps data in-country and aligned with local requirements.
Today, we’re introducing the Wallarm Middle East Cloud Point of Presence (POP), giving organizations a new way to secure APIs and AI systems while keeping their data exactly where it needs to be.
A new regional point of presence for the Wallarm platform
The Wallarm Middle East Cloud is a new regional POP that enables customers to process security data within the Middle East. It delivers the same Wallarm platform used globally, now with regional data processing support.
Organizations operating in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are facing clear requirements around where data is processed and stored. That includes security data generated from APIs and applications.
With the Middle East POP, you can:

Keep API traffic metadata, security events, and analytics within the region
Align with local data residency and compliance requirements
Adopt modern API and AI security without introducing regulatory friction

This is especially relevant for industries where compliance is non-negotiable, including government, financial services, telecom, and critical infrastructure.
You get the same Wallarm protection you trust, now aligned with regional data residency requirements, including full API visibility, real-time protection, security testing, and governance, all with in-region data processing.
Lower latency, better performance
In addition to meeting regional data residency requirements, you also benefit from lower latency and faster overall platform performance.
By processing data closer to your applications, Wallarm can respond more quickly across detection, analysis, and enforcement. That means a more responsive experience when you’re investigating activity, reviewing alerts, or stopping attacks in real time.
Who should use the Middle East cloud
The Middle East POP is designed for organizations that need to keep data within the region while maintaining strong API security.
That includes:

Saudi-based organizations with in-country data requirements
Companies operating across the GCC
Global organizations expanding into the Middle East

If data residency is part of your security or compliance strategy, this gives you a straightforward path forward.
