Tata Communications Partners with Palo Alto for Enhanced Enterprise Cyber Resilience
Tata Communications has announced a collaboration with Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to global enterprises. The rapid shift towards digital transformation, cloud adoption, and remote workforces has significantly expanded and complicated the attack surface for organizations, making them more vulnerable to sophisticated cyberthreats. To combat these challenges, enterprises require robust, integrated, and managed cybersecurity solutions.
The best-of- breed offering will bring together Palo Alto Networks industry-leading technologies with Tata Communications digital fabric of solutions and deep industry expertise across network security, cloud security, cyberthreat detection and response, security assessment and consulting services — leveraging a powerful alliance to address the evolving cyberthreat landscape.
The partnership will address these critical needs by offering a robust cloud and cybersecurity fabric of services and technologies that are focused on delivering the following key benefits:
