  • N-able Launches Bengaluru Global Capability Centre to Boost Cybersecurity Innovation

    N-able

    BURLINGTON, Mass. — N-able, Inc. (NYSE: NABL), a global cybersecurity company focused on delivering business resilience, has announced the opening of its new Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru.

    The move marks a strategic investment by N-able in India as the company expands its global security footprint in one of the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity markets.

    The new Bengaluru facility underscores N-able’s commitment to strengthening cybersecurity innovation, advancing AI-driven capabilities, and accessing India’s deep pool of technology talent.

    The expansion comes at a time when organizations worldwide are facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats while adapting to rapidly evolving technology environments.

    According to a recent Reuters report, India’s GCC workforce is expected to reach 2.36 million employees by the end of 2026, with cybersecurity and artificial intelligence emerging among the most sought-after skills.

    Against this backdrop, N-able’s investment in Bengaluru reflects the company’s focus on helping businesses reduce cyber risk, improve response capabilities, and maintain operational continuity.

    For organizations in India, where rising cyber threats are intersecting with growing data protection and compliance requirements, the expansion of N-able is expected to contribute toward stronger cyber resilience and improved compliance readiness, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

    By expanding its global innovation capabilities and enhancing AI-powered technologies, N-able continues to support IT service providers and businesses in strengthening resilience across the entire threat lifecycle—before, during, and after a cyberattack.

    “Opening our Bengaluru office is an important step in how we scale true business resilience by investing in a market with deep technical talent,” said John Pagliuca, CEO N-able.

    “India plays a critical role in helping businesses address cyber risk, compliance demands, and operational complexity, not only locally, but for global organisations looking to build resilience at scale.”

    The Bengaluru centre will serve as a key hub for innovation and technology development within N-able’s global operations. The facility will support several strategic functions, including engineering, product management, user experience, and security operations.

    Highlighting the importance of the new centre in driving future product innovation, Mike Adler, Chief Technology and Product Officer at N-able, said, “With deep expertise under one roof in Bengaluru, we’re fast-tracking the next generation of capabilities from AI-powered innovation to modernized security operations.

    We’re enabling the IT professionals and security experts to work smarter, respond faster, and confidently stay ahead of the rapidly evolving threat landscape.”

    The Bengaluru office currently employs more than 100 professionals, with N-able planning to increase the workforce by 50 percent or more by the end of 2026.

    The expansion reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to India as a strategic innovation destination while supporting local employment opportunities and strengthening Bengaluru’s position as a leading cyber talent hub.

    As N-able continues to expand its global presence, the Bengaluru Global Capability Centre is expected to play a significant role in driving cybersecurity innovation, advancing AI-enabled solutions, and supporting business resilience initiatives for customers around the world.
