Cyber threats have escalated
Tata Communications has unveiled a new, state-of-the-art Cyber Security Response Centre (CSRC) in Chennai, showcasing “Managed Security Services”.
The Chennai CSRC follows the recent unveiling of Tata Communications’ Cyber Security Response Centre in Dubai, and the existing centres in Pune and Singapore.
The company will introduce a CSRC in Europe later this year to help its customers comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), followed by a US facility in 2019.
The move is part of Tata Communications’ long-term commitment to offering global security services with deeper local expertise.
The flagship CSRC in Chennai will act as an experiential showcase for Tata Communications’ Managed Security Services.
Interactive visual walls, dashboard displays, 3D object recognition and a Virtual Reality (VR) experience will provide a glimpse of Tata Communications’ Managed Security capabilities, which can help organisations build and monitor cyber security platforms, as suited to their business needs.
The CSRC is powered by a host of sophisticated tools and platforms including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), cyber threat intelligence, cloud-based security framework, an advanced attack predictions platform driven by machine learning, amongst others.
All of this flows into a customer portal to present a comprehensive security dashboard, offering customers a proactive and business-aligned view of cyber security.
Inaugurating the Chennai CSRC, Rama Vedashree, CEO, The Data Security Council of India (DSCI), said: “Cyber threats and incidences have only escalated in terms of complexity, severity and impact. Proactive approach as well as strong mitigation capabilities becomes imperative as organisations and governments move ahead in their digital journey while adopting emerging technologies.
“At DSCI, we believe that cyber security innovation & entrepreneurship are essential to building robust capabilities and strengthening the cyber security posture of the country. We are glad to see organisations like Tata Communications making investments to build capabilities to address the global and domestic demand of security services,” Vedashree said.
Security threats come in different forms – according to a Gartner survey, nearly 20% of organisations observed at least one IoT-based attack in the past three years.
Similarly, Cloud security is also a primary concern for businesses and this market is expected to grow from US$1.5 billion in 2017 to US$3.5 billion in 2021.
Tata Communications’ Cyber Security Response Centres aim to equip global enterprises in their digital transformation journey, through its wide portfolio of managed security services that address security concerns across network and infrastructure, content and data, application and access, risk and compliance, as well as threat management.
Tata Communications is uniquely positioned to provide security, addressing threats proactively by delivering security for the cloud and from the cloud throughout an enterprise’s digitisation journey. fiinews.com
