TikTok has announced it it opening a new cybersecurity centre to fight ‘next-generation security threats’ in Ireland. The social media giant said Dublin will be the first location of what it calls ‘regional fusion centres’ around the world, to help the company respond to security incidents in real time, 24 hours a day.
‘When people use TikTok, we know they’re entrusting us with their data, and we take our duty to protect that data very seriously,’ said the platform’s chief security officer, Roland Cloutier. He also iterated that centres were the next step for TikTok to ensure security is ‘built-in from the start’.
