As such, Tata Communications and Palo Alto Networks are collaborating to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to global enterprises which require robust, integrated and managed cybersecurity.
“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.” Dutta said on 8 Oct.
“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.
