Tata Communications has announced a strategic collaboration with Palo Alto Networks, the global leader in cybersecurity, to offer robust and comprehensive cybersecurity solutions aimed at safeguarding global enterprises.
The rapid shift towards digital transformation, cloud adoption, and remote workforces has expanded the attack surface, making companies increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats. This partnership brings together Palo Alto Networks’ cutting-edge technologies and Tata Communications’ expertise across network and cloud security, cyber threat detection, and response to address these critical challenges.
One of the key elements of the collaboration is the integration of advanced threat-hunting and incident response capabilities, leveraging Palo Alto Networks’ Precision AI-powered platform. This platform simplifies security operations by combining Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) tools, overcoming challenges such as unauthorised cloud access and limited visibility.
Additionally, the partnership will enhance threat isolation and resolution with embedded threat intelligence. Tata Communications will offer a unified cloud-delivered security solution, integrating Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.0 capabilities and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), powered by Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access platform. This allows seamless network security management, optimised for modern cloud environments.
To ensure streamlined operations, Tata Communications will provide dedicated managed services, including lifecycle management of Palo Alto Networks’ solutions, allowing enterprises to focus on their core activities while benefiting from improved operational efficiency and security posture.
Other key benefits include cost savings by consolidating multiple security vendors into a single solution, faster response times, and enhanced user experience. Tata Communications will also offer in-depth assessments of existing security infrastructure, access to real-time analytics, threat intelligence, and a use case library to help enterprises strengthen their security frameworks.
Vaibhav Dutta, Associate Vice President and Global Head of Cybersecurity Products & Services at Tata Communications, emphasised the importance of a platform-centric approach to cybersecurity. “As attack surfaces grow and threats become more complex, our collaboration with Palo Alto Networks brings together essential solutions and tools into a comprehensive cybersecurity fabric that simplifies security management for enterprises.”
Michelle Saw, VP of GTM and Ecosystems at Palo Alto Networks JAPAC, praised Tata Communications’ capabilities as a Managed Cybersecurity Service Provider. She stated, “Together, we aim to empower enterprises worldwide to strengthen their security posture, improve operational efficiency, and mitigate risks effectively.”
This new collaboration marks a significant step forward for both companies in addressing the evolving cybersecurity needs of global businesses. For more information, please visit www.tatacommunications.com
