N-able, a US-based cybersecurity company, on Monday announced the opening of a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, its first office in India, as it looks to deepen its security footprint in one of the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity markets.
N-able’s AI-powered cybersecurity platform currently serves more than 500,000 organisations worldwide. Its products span endpoint management, security operations, and data protection, and are used by managed service providers and IT teams to protect businesses across the full threat lifecycle.
100 staff on day one, 50% headcount growth planned by December
The Bengaluru centre opened with over 100 employees and plans to scale headcount by 50% or more before the end of 2026. The centre will support engineering, product management, user experience, and security operations.
The company said the India office would help organisations navigate rising cyber risk alongside data protection requirements. N-able said it sees growing demand for compliance readiness and cyber resilience among Indian small and medium-sized businesses.
Compliance readiness and SMB cyber resilience in focus
“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.”
Mike Adler, Chief Technology and Product Officer, said the centre would accelerate AI-powered capabilities and modernise security operations. “We’re enabling IT professionals and security experts to work smarter, respond faster, and confidently stay ahead of the rapidly evolving threat landscape,” he said.
GCCs are captive units set up by multinational companies in India to manage core functions such as engineering, product development, and operations in-house, rather than outsourcing them.
India currently hosts over 1,700 GCCs, and the sector’s workforce is expected to reach 2.36 million employees by the end of 2026, according to Reuters, with cybersecurity and AI among the most in-demand skills.
