Hermans rethinks! How to serve clients in cybersecurity-hit European market
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading technology services and consulting company, has launched a strategic cybersecurity consulting offering in Europe, responding to escalation of cyber threats, compounded by the rapidly changing regulatory environment, which is creating brand new challenges for European businesses.
The announcement comes on the heels of a series of acquisitions in the consulting space, Edgile, Capco and Ampion. It is part of the firm’s vision to build a global cybersecurity consulting offering to help clients stay ahead of a dynamic threat and regulatory environment.
“Escalation of cyber threats, compounded by the rapidly changing regulatory environment, is creating brand new challenges for businesses across Europe,” said Tony Buffomante, Senior Vice President & Global Head of Cybersecurity and Risk Services (CRS) at Wipro Limited.
“Our extensive experience in cybersecurity, global network of cybersecurists, combined with our expanded consulting capabilities, will help clients stay ahead of emerging threats and adapt to a changing regulatory environment with speed and agility.
“We are thrilled to be bringing this offering to clients in this market at this critical juncture,” Buffomante said on 22 Nov 2022.
The new consulting capability, offered through Wipro CRS Europe, will expand on Wipro’s existing cybersecurity services and enable clients to tap into Wipro’s full set of capabilities, from strategy and implementation to managed services.
Under this new offering, Wipro consultants located in Europe will work with clients to build tailored strategies and solutions that address the unique challenges in this market. Leveraging Wipro’s extensive global network of more than 9,000 cybersecurists, Wipro CRS Europe will help clients realize enhanced scale and speed in implementations.

“This launch will bring together our entire set of cyber capabilities under a single umbrella, allowing us to deliver clients a truly end-to-end offering that leads with strategy but delivers on every single aspect of their cybersecurity needs.”
