Tata Communications today announced a collaboration with Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to global enterprises.
The partnership will bring together Palo Alto Networks industry-leading technologies with Tata Communications digital fabric of solutions and deep industry expertise across network security, cloud security, cyberthreat detection and response, security assessment and consulting services — leveraging a powerful alliance to address the evolving cyberthreat landscape.
Given the rapid shift towards digital transformation, cloud adoption, and remote workforces has significantly expanded and complicated the attack surface for organisations, making them more vulnerable to sophisticated cyberthreats. To combat these challenges, enterprises require robust, integrated, and managed cybersecurity solutions.
“It’s critical for businesses to adopt a platform-centric approach to cybersecurity as attack surfaces expand and threats become more complex,” said Vaibhav Dutta, Associate Vice President and Global Head Cybersecurity Products & Services at Tata Communications. “Our strategic collaboration with Palo Alto Networks stitches together all the essential solutions and tools into a single cloud and cybersecurity fabric –simplifying and streamlining enterprise security management.”
As businesses shift to cloud-based solutions, new security challenges such as unauthorised access and lack of visibility into cloud environments are bound to arise. Against this backdrop, Palo Alto Networks’ Precision AI-powered platform addresses these issues by combining the capabilities of SIEM, XDR, SOAR, and other SOC tools to streamline security operations, outperforming traditional Security Operations Centre (SOC) tools.
Meanwhile, Tata Communications will provide a unified, cloud-delivered security solution using the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access platform, which integrates network security, cloud security, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.0, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) capabilities. This solution offers proactive threat isolation and resolution with embedded threat intelligence, ensuring top-tier security at the edge for end-users.
Tata Communications will also deliver dedicated managed services, including lifecycle management of Palo Alto Networks solutions, allowing customers to focus on their core business. Moreover, the partnership aims to optimise security posture, enhance user experience, and reduce response times through simplified security management. Customers can also achieve significant cost savings by consolidating multiple security vendors into a single provider.
Additionally, the company will offer unmatched expertise through a thorough assessment of existing security infrastructures, providing a roadmap with real-time analytics, threat intelligence, and a use case library.
“Tata Communications’ proven capabilities as a Managed Cybersecurity Service Provider and commitment to excellence, perfectly complement our advanced technologies,” said Michelle Saw, VP GTM and Ecosystems, JAPAC at Palo Alto Networks. “Together, we are confident of empowering future forward enterprises worldwide to further strengthen their security posture, improve operational efficiency, and mitigate risks effectively.”
