Deshpande to drive market momentum in India-SAARC region
Sumo Logic (Nasdaq: SUMO), the pioneer in continuous intelligence from Redwood City in California, has announced additional investments in the Asia Pacific region with the delivery of the powerful Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM solution to the Mumbai region as part of expansion in India.
“The expansion in India with the availability of Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM in the Mumbai region reflects a need we are seeing throughout the Asia Pacific region, where companies need to ensure that their products and services are delivered not only on time and on budget but also on value,” said Paul Wilcox, VP and General Manager Asia Pacific, Sumo Logic.
“Economic cycles come and go, but today’s environment is driving a deeper level of digital change in every industry and market. In order to lead, companies must align business strategy, enablement of security operations and delivery of business outcomes with a persistent focus on continuous intelligence,” Wilcox said in a release on 13 Dec 2021.
With a rapidly growing list of customers and partners, Sumo Logic also announced that Anant Deshpande has joined the company as Regional Director and Country Manager for the India and SAARC Region to drive market momentum. Most recently, Deshpande served as Regional Sales Head at Palo Alto Networks.
Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM is a cloud-native security operations center (SOC) solution that automatically analyzes and correlates threat alert data to help SOC analysts more efficiently discover and resolve threats. With dedicated access for the Mumbai region, Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM now supports local data residency and data regulatory requirements to improve visibility and rapid access to insights to enhance security intelligence best practices.
A number of companies are now taking advantage of this industry-leading localized functionality, including Razorpay, a leading payment gateway and solutions provider for India. Razorpay processes multi-terabytes of data and is now able to apply correlation rules in Sumo Logic to automatically detect threats.
“In security, visibility is everything. The Sumo Logic platform has pre-built dashboards and applications that provide great visibility and increase productivity at the same time,” said Aseem Rastogi, Head of Cyber Security and Compliance, Razorpay.
As India embraces digital transformation, Sumo Logic partners lead the charge to help enterprises that are considering different models to maximize business outcomes.
According to a recent 451 Research Market Insight report[1], India’s Digital Transformation: The Future is Now, businesses are recognizing the value derived from technologies such as cloud computing, data analytics, and IoT to better manage risk, improve agility and boost customer satisfaction. Concerns about cyberattacks have become a center of discussion as local businesses accelerate their digital agendas with digitally enabled business processes and services.
“Our customers understand the strategic importance of cybersecurity, automation and analytics required to boost security operations and the value it delivers across the enterprise,” said Deshpande.
“The availability of the Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM solution in India means our customers can now ingest data at scale into the platform while addressing data privacy and data residency requirements. India is digitizing at scale, and the Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform is well-positioned to manage the diverse requirements of our customers.
“The strategic investment in the Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM is a further affirmation of our commitment to this market,” he assured.
Two regional partners explain the security modernization taking place in Mumbai.
“Traditional SIEM solutions give a false sense of security and are ineffective and not relevant to fight the evolved threat landscape, thus setting security operation teams up to fail. Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM is a game-changer, and the availability of this solution in India means that customers can be sure their data remains onshore at all times while providing a rich set of analytics in which security teams can gain valuable insights,” said Harsh Marwah, Chief Growth Officer, iValue Infosolutions.
“As a partner, we’re excited to provide Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM, which will enhance our offering in the marketplace, helping us to address new risk dimensions, and most importantly, effectively secure customer’s IT estates and crown jewels,” added Marwah.
“Our SOC consulting assignments have proven that the most critical success factor for an MSSP is the ability to take quick action on threat alerts while eliminating false positives and not drowning in a sea of alerts. Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM provides us the ability to precisely do that with efficiency and time-to-value from onboarding to protection,” elaborated Jaykrishnan, Director – Technology & Consulting, Techplix Technologies Pvt ltd.
“Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM solution does this by correlating multiple sources to present a single sequence of events, further enriching event data with external sources, which provides a single pane view for rapid analysis.
“Managing the investigation, analysis and response workflows in a single platform also eliminates repetitive switching between tools to manually compare event data, further improving efficiency and accuracy,” Jaykrishnan said.
