Sygnia opens AI security hubs in Austin & Singapore

Sygnia has opened new Managed Detection and Response Security Operations Centre hubs in Austin and Singapore, creating a three-region operating model alongside its existing operation in Tel Aviv.

The expansion coincides with the launch of an AI-based services platform for managed detection and response, incident response and proactive security work.

Sygnia recorded a 40% year-on-year increase in incident response projects from the first half of 2025 to the first half of 2026, which it said reflected a rise in AI-enabled attacks.

The new operations in Austin and Singapore are intended to support round-the-clock monitoring across time zones. Together with Tel Aviv, the hubs form a follow-the-sun model designed to extend coverage and increase operational scale for customers worldwide.

AI focus

Sygnia is also introducing a platform that uses AI for threat containment, investigations and monitoring of AI-related environments. Customers will be able to choose which containment actions are automated and which require manual approval.

The platform uses a hybrid investigation model that combines AI-assisted analysis with human oversight. Sygnia said this is intended to help security teams prioritise work by severity, available resources and business impact.

Another part of the rollout extends monitoring into cloud-based AI environments through integrations with AWS Bedrock and other AI data sources. This is intended to give organisations greater visibility over systems that use generative AI and similar tools.

Sygnia is also applying AI-driven workflows to incident response and proactive security services. These are intended to support investigations, improve consistency and provide broader insight across client environments.

Growth in managed detection and response has been a major part of the company's recent expansion. Sygnia said it now serves more than 350 clients globally, processes more than 5 billion log items a day and has increased annual recurring revenue from its MDR business by 50%.

Its customer base spans North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The new hub structure adds to that reach and gives the company a direct operational presence in two additional markets central to global cyber security demand.

Threat pressure

The announcement highlights how cyber security suppliers are reshaping their operations as AI tools change both offensive and defensive activity. Security vendors increasingly argue that automation is needed to manage the growing volume and speed of attacks, while customers remain wary of handing too much decision-making to software alone.

Sygnia's position is that AI should support, rather than replace, experienced analysts and responders. That view is becoming more common across the sector as companies try to balance efficiency gains with accountability in high-stakes security incidents.

"AI is changing the speed and scale of cyber operations, for both attackers and defenders," said Guy Segal, Chief Executive Officer, Sygnia.

"As we expand our global MDR operations and advance our AI-powered services, our goal is to help clients move faster while preserving what has always differentiated Sygnia: elite expertise, trusted client relationships, and the ability to deliver high-quality outcomes in the moments that matter most. Our goal is not to replace expert judgment with AI, but to amplify it across every part of the cyber lifecycle," said Segal.
