With the strategic divestment of its Malaysian operations to its new APEJ partner LS Systems Group WithSecure reinforces European development and delivery of its cyber security solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n

WithSecure\u2122 today announced a strategic step in its vision to strengthen its European foundation. The company divests its Malaysian entity and business operations to LS Systems Group, allowing it to fully consolidate the design, development, and delivery of its cyber security products and services within Europe. This move underscores WithSecure\u2019s commitment to the European way in cyber security \u2013 rooted in privacy, compliance, and digital sovereignty \u2013 while continuing to serve its global customer base with the same excellence and innovation it is known for.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world where cyber security is not just a technical challenge but a geopolitical one, we believe that how and where technology is built truly matters,\u201d said Antti Koskela<\/strong>, President & CEO of WithSecure. \u201cBy consolidating our operations in Europe, we are doubling down on our ability to protect mid-sized companies around the globe with solutions that are not only tailored to their needs, but also built in alignment with the highest technological and regulatory standards in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delivering cyber security, the European way<\/h2>\n

With this strategic transaction, WithSecure is enhancing its control over data handling and compliance practices \u2013 creating a trusted advantage for partners and customers alike. While the WithSecure Elements portfolio remains available globally, the development and service delivery will now be entirely based in Europe following the strict guidelines of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other European laws known for prioritizing user rights and data protection. This ensures end-to-end compliance for businesses operating in regulated industries, while also providing peace of mind for customers concerned about privacy and data sovereignty.<\/p>\n

New strategic partnership expands reach in Asia<\/h2>\n

As part of the transaction, WithSecure has signed an agreement with Singapore-based value-added distributor LS Systems Group who will become a strategic distributor for WithSecure in APEJ (Asia\u2013Pacific, excluding Japan). Under the agreement LS Systems Group will acquire WithSecure\u2019s Malaysian entity and take over local operations in the region. After completing this change, all data collected by WithSecure will be processed exclusively in European facilities. The responsibilities for these operations will be transitioned from Malaysia to WithSecure\u2019s European locations, ensuring tighter control, enhanced security, and stronger alignment with European legal and compliance standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
