External threat intelligence provider Team Cymru has announced the expansion of its Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) operations, with Sydney serving as the company’s regional operational hub.
The announcement follows RISEx Sydney, where Team Cymru leadership met with customers, partners, and public-sector stakeholders from across the region.
Expansion responds to regional cyber visibility demand
According to Team Cymru, the expansion is a response to growing demand from APJ organizations seeking greater visibility into the external threat landscape.
In particular, organizations across the critical infrastructure, financial services, government, and telecommunications sectors are increasingly seeking enhanced threat intelligence and visibility.
“Australia and the broader APJ region are at the front line of some of the most consequential cyber challenges of the decade, from state-aligned activity targeting critical infrastructure to organized fraud campaigns targeting the financial sector,” said Richard Dufty, chief commercial officer at Team Cymru.
As part of the expansion, Team Cymru is:
- Establishing Sydney-based operations as the coordination point for APJ customer engagement, threat intelligence delivery, and partner enablement;
- Growing its in-region team, with additional customer engineering, intelligence, and go-to-market hires planned over the next six months; and
- Engaging with the New South Wales government on regional investment, workforce, and industry development initiatives.
“As an Australian, I’m especially proud to see Sydney become Team Cymru’s APJ operational hub. This expansion reflects our commitment to the customers, partners, and government stakeholders we work alongside here, and our intent to keep investing in senior leadership, technical presence, and regional partnerships,” Dufty explained.
Team Cymru says the Sydney hub aims to strengthen regional customer engagement, partner enablement, and technical support for organizations operating across Australia, New Zealand, and the wider APJ region.
Pure Signal supports earlier threat detection
In its official press release, Team Cymru noted that the expansion comes as governments and operators across APJ continue to elevate cyber resilience as a national priority.
The company highlighted the increasing pressure on critical infrastructure operators to defend against well-resourced adversaries who leverage global infrastructure, while financial institutions continue to contend with industrial-scale fraud and account-takeover networks.
In response, Team Cymru’s Pure Signal provides defenders the ability to see adversary infrastructure as it is built and operated, enabling earlier detection, faster response, and proactive disruption of threat actor campaigns before they reach the perimeter.
“Team Cymru’s global view of the internet’s threat landscape gives CyberCX defenders a high-fidelity lens onto adversary infrastructure as it is being built and used,” said Drew Williams, executive director at CyberCX Intelligence.
“We welcome their investment in the APJ region and look forward to working to detect and repel threat actors and better protect our customers together.”
