Var Group and CV Ventures Launch Yarix APAC to Strengthen Cybersecurity in Thailand

Var Group, an Italian leader in digital services, has officially launched Yarix APAC (Yarix Asia Pacific) in partnership with Thai technology firm CV Ventures. This joint venture aims to establish Bangkok as a key regional hub for cybersecurity services, responding to the increasing demand for advanced security solutions in the Asia-Pacific market.

Yarix APAC, which is 51% owned by CV Ventures and 49% by Var Group, will focus on providing managed security services, particularly in defensive security operations, known as Blue Team activities. The company plans to generate THB 30 million (approximately USD 850,000) in its first year, with ambitions to double this figure by the following year, according to reports from Prachachat and Biz Nowadays.

“The cybersecurity market in Thailand is booming, with double-digit growth rates and a digital environment increasingly exposed to cyber risks, making the country a strategic area for those in the digital security industry.”Mirko Gatto, Head of Cybersecurity at Var Group

The establishment of Yarix APAC is part of Var Group's broader strategy to expand its cybersecurity services internationally. The company has already opened offices in various countries, including Italy, Mexico, and India, and aims to enhance its presence in the rapidly growing Thai cybersecurity market, which is experiencing double-digit growth rates. Mirko Gatto, Head of Cybersecurity at Var Group, noted that the cybersecurity market in Thailand is booming, with a digital environment increasingly exposed to cyber risks, making the country a strategic area for those in the digital security industry.

Yarix APAC will operate under a model referred to as "Follow the Sun," which allows for continuous monitoring and incident response across different time zones. This approach not only enhances service delivery but also optimizes the well-being of analysts by reducing the need for night shifts. The local team, composed entirely of Thai professionals, will ensure that services are tailored to the unique needs of the Thai market while adhering to global standards.

Chris Buranasumrit, Chairman of CV Ventures, emphasized the growing need for comprehensive cybersecurity solutions among organizations in Thailand, stating that businesses are increasingly looking for enterprise-level security outcomes rather than standalone products. This shift presents a significant opportunity for Yarix APAC to provide reliable and scalable services to both local and regional enterprises.

As digital transformation accelerates across Southeast Asia, driven by cloud adoption and stricter regulatory requirements, the demand for robust cybersecurity measures is expected to rise. Yarix APAC aims to address these needs by offering a full spectrum of cybersecurity services, including threat intelligence, incident response, and digital forensics.
