The US-based firm plans to recruit 150 employees by mid-2025, especially in roles related to core R&D areas like threat intelligence and artificial intelligence (AI).

With Bengaluru emerging as a global hub for technology and cybersecurity expertise, the centre will drive innovation and product development, and enhance the company’s security operations platform. With this expansion, the firm stands to benefit from around-the-clock development capabilities and closer proximity to clients in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, said the firm in a statement.

Dan Schiappa, chief product and services officer, Arctic Wolf, said, “Our mission is to end cyber risk for organizations of all sizes, and the research and development work that will happen out of India will be a major enabler in furthering this goal.”

“By tapping into the highly skilled workforce in Bengaluru, we aim to further accelerate the development of advanced machine learning models and AI-driven cybersecurity detections within our platform,” added Schiappa.

By creating numerous job opportunities, the GCC will attract top-tier talent from India’s IT and cybersecurity sectors.

Jeff Green, senior vice president, research and development, Arctic Wolf, said, “The launch of Arctic Wolf’s first GCC in Bengaluru is an exciting milestone for us…We’re committed to leveraging India’s strong technical expertise and pedigree of innovation to support core areas of our future product development.”
