Team Cymru announced expansion of its Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) operations, with Sydney serving as the company’s regional operational hub. The announcement follows RISEx Sydney, where Team Cymru leadership met with customers, partners, and public-sector stakeholders from across the region.
The expansion responds to accelerating demand from APJ organizations for visibility into the external threat landscape, particularly across critical infrastructure, financial services, government, and telecommunications. Team Cymru’s Pure Signal provides defenders the ability to see adversary infrastructure as it is built and operated, enabling earlier detection, faster response, and proactive disruption of threat actor campaigns before they reach the perimeter.
“Australia and the broader APJ region are at the front line of some of the most consequential cyber challenges of the decade, from state-aligned activity targeting critical infrastructure to organized fraud campaigns targeting the financial sector,” said Richard Dufty, chief commercial officer at Team Cymru. “As an Australian, I’m especially proud to see Sydney become Team Cymru’s APJ operational hub. This expansion reflects our commitment to the customers, partners, and government stakeholders we work alongside here, and our intent to keep investing in senior leadership, technical presence, and regional partnerships.”
As part of the expansion, Team Cymru is establishing Sydney-based operations as the coordination point for APJ customer engagement, threat intelligence delivery, and partner enablement. The company is also growing its in-region team, with additional hires planned over the next six months across customer engineering, intelligence, and go-to-market roles. In addition, it is engaging with the New South Wales government on regional investment, workforce development, and industry development initiatives.
The Sydney hub will strengthen regional customer engagement, partner enablement, and technical support for organizations operating across Australia, New Zealand, and the wider APJ region.
The expansion comes as APJ governments and operators continue to elevate cyber resilience as a national priority. Critical infrastructure operators face mounting pressure to defend against well-resourced adversaries leveraging global infrastructure, while financial institutions are contending with industrial-scale fraud and account-takeover networks. Across the region, public-private collaboration — and shared visibility into adversary infrastructure — is increasingly recognized as essential to collective defense.
“Team Cymru’s global view of the internet’s threat landscape gives CyberCX defenders a high-fidelity lens onto adversary infrastructure as it is being built and used,” said Drew Williams, executive director at CyberCX Intelligence. “We welcome their investment in the APJ region and look forward to working to detect and repel threat actors and better protect our customers together.”
Last month, Team Cymru announced its role as a private-sector partner in Operation Ramz, a first-of-its-kind cybercrime operation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region coordinated by INTERPOL. Running from October 2025 to 28 February 2026, the operation brought together law enforcement agencies from 13 countries to investigate and disrupt malicious infrastructure, identify and arrest suspects, and prevent further victimisation across the region.
