N-able opens Bengaluru centre to boost cyber hiring

N-able has opened a Global Capability Centre in Bengaluru, expanding the cybersecurity company's operations in India.

The new centre will support engineering, product management, user experience and security operations. The Bengaluru office currently employs more than 100 people, and N-able expects headcount to increase by 50% or more by the end of 2026.

The move adds to a broader trend of multinational technology groups building larger teams in India, where demand for cybersecurity and artificial intelligence skills remains strong. Reuters has reported that India's Global Capability Centre workforce is expected to reach 2.36 million employees by the end of 2026.

For N-able, the Bengaluru office also expands access to technical talent in a market that has become increasingly important to global software and security businesses. The investment is part of a wider effort to extend its security operations and product development work.

India focus

India has become a key location for companies seeking software engineering, product and security expertise. It is also serving domestic demand from businesses facing tighter data protection requirements and a growing volume of cyber threats. Small and medium-sized businesses in particular are under pressure to improve readiness as attacks become more frequent and compliance obligations more complex.

N-able said the Bengaluru expansion is intended to support that environment by strengthening work across the threat lifecycle, including prevention, response and continuity. The company says it serves more than 500,000 organisations worldwide through its cybersecurity platform.

John Pagliuca, Chief Executive Officer of N-able, said: "Opening our Bengaluru office is an important step in how we scale true business resilience by investing in a market with deep technical talent.

"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."

Local hiring

The hiring plans suggest the Bengaluru centre is intended to be a long-term part of N-able's operating model rather than a small satellite office. Staffing growth would also place the site among a growing group of cyber and software hubs in Bengaluru, which has attracted investment from international technology groups seeking specialised engineers and security professionals.

The office's remit also suggests N-able is bringing several product and operational disciplines together in one location. Engineering and product management teams typically sit close to roadmap planning, while user experience and security operations can link development work more directly with customer and threat-response requirements.

Mike Adler, Chief Technology and Product Officer of 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 IT professionals and security experts to work smarter, respond faster, and confidently stay ahead of the rapidly evolving threat landscape."

Wider market

The expansion comes as cybersecurity vendors face pressure to keep pace with a more complex threat environment while adapting products to changes in artificial intelligence. That has increased competition for skilled staff in areas such as security operations, software development and product design, particularly in established technology centres such as Bengaluru.

India's role in that market has been reinforced by the growth of Global Capability Centres set up by overseas groups to handle research, development, support and operational functions. The attraction is not only labour scale, but also a concentration of experienced professionals able to work across global product cycles and around-the-clock support structures.

For customers, the practical effect of such investments often lies in how quickly vendors can deliver product changes, improve service delivery and maintain support for security teams managing new risks. N-able's decision to add engineering and security operations resources in Bengaluru points to that balance between product development and day-to-day customer demands.

The centre will strengthen India's position within N-able's broader organisation while contributing to local job creation in one of the country's leading technology markets. It currently employs more than 100 people in Bengaluru, with plans to scale by 50% or more by the end of 2026.
