London, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur 1 September 2026 – Global cyber security and corporate intelligence consultancy S-RM today announced the expansion of its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service with the opening of a new Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The eight-strong team expands S-RM's established SOC footprint in Cape Town, South Africa, London UK and Washington DC USA, further enhancing its 'follow the sun' operating model and strengthening the firm's ability to provide 24/7 support to clients worldwide.
S-RM established its presence in Kuala Lumpur in 2023. The launch of a regional SOC reflects the growing strategic importance of Asia to the firm's long-term growth plans and demonstrates its commitment to delivering enhanced services to both existing and prospective clients across the Asia-Pacific region.
Jamie Smith, Global Managing Director, Cyber Security, comments:
Our clients rely on us to detect and respond to threats quickly, regardless of where or when they occur. Expanding our SOC capability in Kuala Lumpur strengthens our global coverage and enhances our ability to deliver around-the-clock monitoring and response. It is an important milestone in the continued growth of our Managed Detection and Response service and reflects the increasing demand we are seeing from organisations seeking high-quality, expert-led cyber security support.”
Lester Lim, Regional Head, APAC, Cyber Security adds:
Asia-Pacific is one of the world's most dynamic and fast-growing cyber security markets, and organisations across the region are facing an increasingly complex threat landscape. Establishing a dedicated SOC capability in Kuala Lumpur allows us to better support clients in their local time zones with Asian language capabilities, while drawing on the expertise of our global team. It also reinforces our long-term commitment to the region and our investment in developing world-class cyber security talent in Malaysia.”
