Tata Communications has announced a partnership with Palo Alto Networks to develop integrated and managed security services.<\/p>\n

The collaboration will focus on security consolidation for global networks, cloud, and IoT security, integrated cybersecurity and connectivity, threat intelligence, incident response, and zero-trust<\/a> implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s critical for businesses to adopt a platform-centric approach to cybersecurity as attack surfaces expand and threats become more complex,\u201d said Vaibhav Dutta, AVP, and global head for cybersecurity products & services for Tata Communications. \u201cOur strategic collaboration with Palo Alto Networks stitches together all the essential solutions and tools into a single cloud and cybersecurity fabric \u2014 simplifying and streamlining enterprise security management.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partnership to go beyond existing contract<\/h2>\n

Palo Alto Networks said it plans to expand its existing reselling contract with Tata Communications and work on other partnership avenues. Tata has been using Palo Alto\u2019s advanced cloud security platform, Prisma Access, which includes next-generation firewall<\/a> capabilities, within its cloud-delivered security solutions including network security, cloud security, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) services.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditionally, our partnership with Tata Comm. was limited to just reselling the firewall,\u201d said Michelle Saw, vice president of GTM and Ecosystems for JAPAC at Palo Alto Networks. \u201cBut definitely our partnership has evolved and elevated to the next level over the last two years, becoming more of a strategic partnership rather than a very transactional contract in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new partnership includes integrating Palo Alto Networks\u2019 Precision AI-powered platform \u2014 including proprietary SIEM, XDR, and SOAR capabilities \u2014 with Tata Communication\u2019s cloud-delivered solutions.<\/p>\n

While Palo Alto Networks benefits from an expanded market reach, Tata Communications will also pack, powered by the partnership, a dedicated managed security service offering that will provide lifecycle management of Palo Alto Networks\u2019 solutions.<\/p>\n

Partnership to counter AI with AI<\/h2>\n

One of the major focus areas of the partnership is to address the AI-induced attack surface, according to Dutta. \u201cIn the security market today, AI is becoming the most disruptive technology since cloud,\u201d he said. \u201cAlongside the transformation, there is an adversarial threat evolving with the technology. They are using sophisticated AI to move faster at a larger scale and across a new scope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo together with this partnership, we are ready to help our customers secure the AI-first future, countering AI with AI,\u201d he added. To that end, Palo Alto Network\u2019s Precision AI will now power many of Tata Communications\u2019 solutions, integrating its predictive analytics capabilities within the latter\u2019s homegrown offerings.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the partnership is designed to achieve quick threat detection and isolation with the help of an improved and integrated network of sensors. The companies said the partnership will also help ease deployment and operation while offering cost savings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
