As part of the partnership, Tata Communications brings its cyber security operations centre (SOC) and managed security services to bolster the cyber defence of enterprises in the region.
According to Tata Communications, the SOC provides managed security services bundled with cyber-threat intelligence to secure the enterprises’ mission-critical information, offering world-class insights to help safeguard and protect their business. The services allow enterprises to focus more on their core business and utilise their key resources for critical projects vital for their growth. The partnership will bring innovative security solutions, unified communications and collaboration (UCC), cloud, and the internet of things (IoT) coupled with Intertec Systems service support and know-how of the enterprise market in the region.
Intertec Systems’ facility responds to customers’ demand for an affordable, in-country, and technically advanced SOC built by Tata Communications that improves security incident detection and mitigates the significant consequences of cyberattacks, such as financial losses and damage to reputation. As part of the managed SOC services, Tata Communications provides real-time analytics with advanced intelligence, leveraging automation and information enrichment.
Commenting on the partnership, Naresh Kothari, managing director and president, Intertec Systems, said, “The increasing pace of technology adoption in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including remote work tools and migration to the cloud, has made many enterprises operate more efficiently and open new business avenues. The downside is it has also made enterprises more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Strong partnerships aid us to advance digitalisation in the GCC. By creating an integrated offering with Tata Communications, we are adding value for our customers by bringing local and global expertise. Together, we have the capability to address various cybersecurity risks.”
Meanwhile, Vaneet Mehta, region head, Middle East, Central Asia and Africa, Tata Communications, said, “We are glad to expand our partnership with Intertec Systems to enable enterprises in the UAE to lead in a digital-first world. Our combined forces bring global expertise with local experience to help customers digitally transform with agility and flexibility. The next-gen, in-country SOC coupled with our managed SOC services empowers customers to take a proactive and predictive approach to safeguard their digital operations from cloud to edge to endpoints.”
