Zentara

Zentara is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, founded in April 2025 to provide security services and in-house built security products for banks, government institutions, and enterprises in Southeast Asia. The company operates a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) providing blue team monitoring, incident response, and threat detection with defined escalation timelines for client-impacting incidents, confirmed intrusions, and suspicious activity. It also runs red team and offensive security operations, including adversary emulation. Zentara engineers its own technology portfolio rather than reselling third-party platforms. Its in-house products include ZXSIEM (a SIEM platform), AVAS (vulnerability assessment), Raksa (bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure program management), ZEN iNTEL (threat intelligence), IRIS (image recognition and identification), and GT M7 (counter-surveillance hardware). A separate research division, Zentara Labs, focuses on AI-driven product engineering, including an internal detection triage capability referred to as ODYSSEY. The company positions itself as an accountable, locally present alternative to foreign vendors, citing time-zone alignment, direct engineering ownership of detections and controls, and compliance support including ISO 27001/27701 auditing. Target clients include financial institutions, government bodies, and enterprises operating in Indonesia and the broader region.
