Canadian software firm BlackBerry Limited has announced the expansion of its Secure Communications division’s Asia Pacific (APAC) regional headquarters in Malaysia, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the nation and the broader ASEAN region.

Following the successful launch of the MCMC and BlackBerry Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE) in Cyberjaya in March 2024, BlackBerry is now scaling its presence across three strategic locations: Cyberjaya, central Kuala Lumpur, and Mont Kiara, the firm said in a statement on Wednesday.

The expansion includes a new sales and marketing office, as well as a dedicated Regional Support Centre staffed by over 50 technical experts, enabling 24/7 support and professional services across the Asia-Pacific region.

“As Malaysia strengthens its position as a regional hub for digital resilience and innovation, we are proud to expand our APAC Secure Communications headquarters here – now with enhanced 24/7 support for a region tackling complex risks,” said Tash Stamatelos, Senior Vice President for BlackBerry in APAC.

“This expansion supports both BlackBerry’s regional growth strategy and Malaysia’s national priorities, including capacity building, enhanced disaster response, and the
implementation of sovereign, military-grade communications to combat rising espionage,” he added.

According to the statement, this shared vision for bolstering digital resilience is echoed by Malaysia’s regulators, with MCMC welcoming BlackBerry’s expanded footprint as a catalyst for deeper public–private collaboration.

Building on the MCMC and BlackBerry Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Cyberjaya, the expansion strengthens Malaysia’s position as a regional hub for secure communications while enhancing the nation’s ability to support government, critical infrastructure, and industry against evolving cyber threats.

Further building on Malaysia’s growth as an international hub, this announcement follows the government of Canada’s commitment of CAD 3.9 million ($2.83 million) in multi-year investment for cybersecurity training at the Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence, announced in November 2024.

The first phase of this program will commence in November 2025 with the globally recognized Certifications for Leadership in Cybersecurity (CLIC) course.

Additionally, a recent partnership with EC-Council will offer self-paced learning courses for Malaysian civil servants, further enhancing national cyber capabilities.
