Secure Computing, an enterprise gateway security company, has announced that its Singapore office has been appointed as its new Asia Pacific headquarters to support growing customer demand across the region for the company’s network, messaging and web gateway security solutions as well as its identity and access management products.

Previously its South Asia headquarters, the new Asia Pacific headquarters will serve customers and partners throughout the region including Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, China, India and all of the territories in between.

“Locating our Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore is a strategic decision for Secure Computing and reaffirms our commitment to Singapore, which remains an important market for us,” said Benjamin Low, Managing Director of Asia South, Secure Computing. “With its substantial investment in infocomm infrastructure, we believe Singapore provides tremendous opportunities for us.”

Secure Computing first set up its Singapore office in 2004. The announcement of the new regional headquarters represents a new level commitment to Asia Pacific, with centralised regional sales, technical and logistics support to operate out of the centrally located Singapore office.

Since 2004, our business in Singapore and the region has expanded beyond our initial expectations, said Robert Prigge, Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan, Secure Computing.

“Our decision to locate our Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore is a logical one, as Singapore offers excellent infrastructure, transparent regulatory regime, pro-business environment and a world-class legal framework. As an international business hub, Singapore is an ideal base for us to expand our business across the Asia Pacific,” he added.

The company recently completed the re-branding of its comprehensive range of products by bringing all its products under the “Secure” brand. In addition, it established a new inside sales team to drive revenue growth and added new training rooms to cope with the increased demand for support by its regional channel partners.

Going forward, Secure Computing said it will further enhance its infrastructure by adding facilities for product demonstrations and testing, as well as strengthening its capacity to provide technical support for customers across the Asia Pacific.
