MUMBAI,
India, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata
Communications today announced a collaboration with Palo Alto
Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to deliver comprehensive
cybersecurity solutions to global enterprises.
The rapid shift towards digital transformation, cloud adoption,
and remote workforces has significantly expanded and complicated
the attack surface for organizations, making them more vulnerable
to sophisticated cyberthreats. To combat these challenges,
enterprises require robust, integrated, and managed cybersecurity
solutions.
The best-of- breed offering 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.
The partnership will address these critical needs by offering a
robust cloud and cybersecurity fabric of services and technologies
that are focused on delivering the following key benefits:
- Advanced threat hunting, incident response, and compliance
capabilities: As businesses transition to cloud-based
solutions, new security challenges emerge, such as unauthorised
access and lack of visibility into cloud environments. Unlike other
traditional Security Operations Centre (SOC) tools that often fall
short in these settings, the Palo Alto Networks Precision
AI-powered platform, combines the capabilities of SIEM, XDR, SOAR,
and other SOC tools to simplify security operations.
- Proactive threat isolation and resolution with embedded
threat intelligence: Tata Communications will offer a
unified, cloud-delivered security solution that integrates network
security, cloud security, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.0
capabilities and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), by leveraging
Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access platform — a cloud-based platform
for network security services that offers consolidated,
best-in-class security at the edge for end-users.
- Seamless deployment and operations: Tata
Communications will also provide dedicated managed services,
including the lifecycle management of Palo Alto Networks solutions,
allowing customers to focus on their core business.
- Optimised security posture and enhanced user
experience: The partnership will deliver rapid detection
and reduced response times, with simplified security
management.
- Significant cost savings and operational efficiencies:
Customers will benefit by consolidating multiple security vendors
and services into a single provider.
- Unmatched expertise: Tata Communications to enable
rigorous assessment of existing security infrastructure and
recommend a roadmap with access to real-time analytics and
insights, threat intelligence, and a use case library.

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
