TCS and Google Cloud Join Forces to Launch AI-Driven Cybersecurity Solutions

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has taken a major step forward in enhancing enterprise cybersecurity by strengthening its collaboration with Google Cloud. Together, they have introduced two advanced AI-powered cybersecurity solutions aimed at tackling the growing threat landscape. The announcement, made on September 3, 2024, marks a critical development in the fight against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, as businesses across industries continue to navigate the complexities of digital transformation.

TCS’s new offerings, the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution and the Secure Cloud Foundation solution are designed to empower businesses with enhanced threat detection and response capabilities, even in non-cloud environments. This expansion of TCS’s partnership with Google Cloud reflects a shared commitment to providing holistic, forward-looking security strategies that cater to the evolving needs of global enterprises.

The TCS Managed Detection and Response solution, leveraging Google Cloud’s cutting-edge Security Operations platform, is poised to revolutionize how security teams detect and respond to threats. By integrating Google’s advanced threat detection with TCS’s deep contextual knowledge, the solution enables continuous monitoring and rapid response to security incidents. This collaboration aims to reduce the time it takes for businesses to identify and address threats, thereby minimizing potential damage and ensuring a more resilient security posture.

Complementing this is the TCS Secure Cloud Foundation solution, which focuses on strengthening cloud security posture and governance across diverse cloud environments be it single, multi, or hybrid. This solution embeds security and compliance controls throughout the DevSecOps lifecycle, offering businesses a comprehensive shield against emerging cyber risks. By harnessing AI, machine learning, and automation, the Secure Cloud Foundation continuously monitors risks, identifies deviations, and provides actionable recommendations to mitigate threats.

Ganesa Subramanian, Vice President and Global Head of the Cybersecurity Business Group at TCS highlighted the urgency of modernizing cybersecurity in light of the rapid adoption of Generative AI. He emphasized that securing digital transformation journeys is crucial for businesses aiming to grow with confidence. “This partnership brings together the best of TCS and Google Cloud, combining our capabilities and accelerators to protect the digital estates of our customers, making them future-ready and cyber resilient,” Subramanian stated.

The impact of these solutions is already evident, with TCS deploying them for several clients. Notably, a global bank headquartered in Germany has utilized the Secure Cloud Foundation to automate the deployment of over 800 security policies, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. This example underscores the practical benefits and scalability of TCS’s cybersecurity offerings in real-world applications.

Nidhi Srivastava, Vice President and Executive Champion for Google Cloud at TCS, expressed confidence in the expanded partnership's ability to combat advanced cybersecurity threats. She noted that TCS’s deep industry knowledge and ability to scale solutions on Google Cloud would enable rapid value creation for clients across sectors. The decade-long partnership between TCS and Google Cloud has been instrumental in helping global enterprises transform their businesses through cloud technology. This latest phase of collaboration is set to focus on leveraging Google Cloud’s AI-powered security tools to enhance threat intelligence, security operations, and cloud security.

Peter Bailey, Vice President and General Manager of Security Operations at Google Cloud, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the natural evolution of the partnership. He pointed out that integrating Google Security Operations into TCS’s solutions would allow customers to benefit from Google’s planet-level scalability, advanced threat intelligence, and AI-assisted investigation workflows. Together, TCS and Google Cloud aim to dramatically improve customers' security postures, enabling real-time threat response and enhancing overall cyber resilience.

TCS’s comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio is supported by a global network of over 16,000 cybersecurity professionals and 15+ delivery centers worldwide. This robust infrastructure enables TCS to provide tailored cybersecurity solutions that address industry-specific challenges, ranging from identity and access management to digital forensics and incident response.

As TCS and Google Cloud continue to innovate and expand their partnership, their combined expertise and resources promise to set new benchmarks in enterprise cybersecurity, helping businesses navigate the digital age with confidence and security.
