Sumo Logic announced its expansion into South Korea through a new AWS Availability Zone in Seoul.
This will enable organizations and existing customers in the region to fuel DevSecOps through log analytics. In collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the new deployment will support the region's data compliance requirements and customers' growing need for data locality.
“When dealing with stringent compliance and data residency requirements, it’s critical to have a scalable, multi-tenant, cloud-native log analytics platform that collects, stores and analyzes exabytes of security logs and event data so organizations can demonstrate security best practices and compliance readiness,” said Sumo Logic’s Chief Executive Officer, Joe Kim. “Expanding into Seoul as part of our ongoing strategic partnership with AWS enables our joint customers with local data residency requirements to help Dev, Sec and Ops teams simplify complexity, improve collaboration and accelerate data-driven decisions through the power of logs.”
Now, Sumo Logic can support customers with local data residency and other regional requirements in Korea to ensure compliance with emerging regulations such as the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the Cloud Infrastructure Act (CIA). Along with helping existing Korean customers, the Seoul presence adds to Sumo Logic's already robust global presence across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Sumo Logic's strategic partnership with AWS is a key driver of this expansion, combining the company's advanced log analytics with AWS reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure to meet local compliance standards and enhance overall security and performance. Sumo Logic is leveraging AWS' extensive network and capabilities alongside its own offerings to offer a seamless experience for its regional customers.
Sumo Logic helps make the digital world faster, reliable and more secure by unifying insights to ignite action through the power of logs. The company’s AI-powered SaaS Log Analytics Platform combined with its Flex Licensing model removes the economic and collaboration barriers by ingesting, storing and analyzing all security log events in the Sumo Logic SaaS Log Analytics Platform, so Dev, Sec and Ops teams have a single source of truth to monitor and secure their apps and infrastructure.
“We’ve seen significant customer and partner growth in the region, but organizations in South Korea are rapidly moving to cloud applications and microservices-based application structures to accelerate digital transformation. This evolution requires real-time analysis of logs across developers, ITOps and security teams, but many are facing challenges due to cost, manpower, and time,” said Jin Goo Lee, Korea Country Manager for Sumo Logic. “Sumo Logic’s AWS instance in Seoul will enable customers to rapidly ingest and analyze all logs to create a single source of truth for modern security and observability use cases. We can do all of this while removing the economic barriers for customers through our unique Flex Licensing model pricing so they can take advantage of their ever-growing data volumes to make data-driven decisions and accelerate innovation without gaps in visibility.”
