Cybersecurity and privacy · AI coding
Distributor Galaxy Software Services announced the launch of Israeli security vendor Mend's Taiwan Cloud Region, hosted on AWS in Taipei. The SaaS deployment enables domestic data residency for source code scanning (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA), addressing compliance, data sovereignty, and latency concerns.
Addressing local demand for data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, application security vendor Mend launched a dedicated cloud region in Taiwan in late October, facilitated by master distributor Galaxy Software Services. Deployed on AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region, the environment is operated by Mend's technical team and covers services including Web Console, Scans Processing, SAST, and APIs. Galaxy Software Services noted that the local cloud infrastructure allows financial, government, and healthcare sectors to retain code scanning and vulnerability metadata within Taiwan, mitigating cross-border data transfer concerns while reducing operational latency. Mend's capabilities span Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Static Application Security Testing (SAST), vulnerability remediation, and AI-assisted development. Existing enterprise customers can transition to the local cloud region with distributor support.
