Terry KS Zscaler has launched a new Kuala Lumpur data centre to enhance cloud security performance, resilience, and data residency support for Malaysian organisations. The expansion supports Malaysia’s digital economy and cybersecurity priorities amid rising adoption of cloud and AI technologies.
MALAYSIA, 22 JANUARY 2026 – Zscaler, Inc. has launched a new data centre in Kuala Lumpur as part of its ongoing investment in Southeast Asia, strengthening cloud security capacity, performance, and resilience for organisations in Malaysia and the wider region. The facility complements Zscaler’s existing local infrastructure and is designed to meet growing demand driven by cloud adoption, hybrid work, and enterprise AI.
The new data centre enables Malaysian public and private sector organisations to adopt a zero trust security approach as cyber threats increase in scale and sophistication. By bringing security services closer to users and applications, Zscaler delivers lower latency, improved digital experiences, and stronger protection without relying on traditional network-based security models.
The site hosts the full Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, including Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access, allowing secure access to internet, SaaS, AI, and private applications without placing users on a corporate network. Built to Zscaler’s latest global standards, the facility features high-availability architecture, redundant power and cooling, diverse network paths, and expanded compute capacity to support long-term growth and business continuity.
Aligned with Malaysia’s national cybersecurity objectives and National Critical Information Infrastructure protection priorities, the new Kuala Lumpur data centre supports data residency preferences and high availability requirements for both government and enterprises. The facility also reinforces Zscaler’s sustainability commitments, joining its global network of more than 160 data centres powered by renewable energy.
