TCS bolsters Google Cloud partnership to launch AI-powered cybersecurity solutions

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Tuesday announced it is expanding its partnership with Google Cloud, Google’s cloud wing, to introduce cybersecurity solutions driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The company will launch TCS Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and TCS Secure Cloud Foundation as part of the renewed partnership to strengthen security on the company’s enterprise-focused solutions.

“This partnership brings together the best of capabilities, contextual knowledge, and accelerators from TCS and Google Cloud to holistically protect the digital estates of enterprise customers, to help them be future-ready, cyber resilient businesses,” Ganesa Subramanian, VP and Global Head, Cybersecurity Business Group, TCS, said.

Subramanian said the growth in generative artificial intelligence is one of the reasons why the company has doubled down on its cybersecurity efforts to fortify applications available to businesses across industries.

The company said its TCS Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution will allow security teams to increase productivity while reducing the time normally needed to detect and respond to cyber threats. Leveraging Google Security Operations platform, this solution will create a robust ecosystem to monitor risks, identify deviations, and recommend the right actions.

The TCS Secure Cloud Foundation uses the capabilities of Google Cloud’s security solutions to employ machine learning and automation into strengthening cloud security posture and governance across single, multi, and hybrid cloud environments. This will involve embedding security and compliance guardrails throughout the DevSecOps lifecycle.

“TCS’ expanded partnership with Google Cloud provides two unique, AI-powered, cross-industry, enterprise solutions – the TCS Managed Detection and Response Solution and the TCS Secure Cloud Foundation – to help our clients combat advanced cybersecurity threats. Our deep industry knowledge, comprehensive portfolio, and ability to scale on Google Cloud enables us to rapidly create value for our customers,” said Nidhi Srivastava, vice president and executive champion for Google Cloud, TCS.

TCS and Google Cloud have a long-standing partnership spanning more than 10 years, helping clients and vendors expand their businesses with the help of cloud and associated tools. “TCS and Google Cloud have partnered for many years to help customers harness the power of the cloud and AI to grow and transform their business. The integration of Google Security Operations into TCS MDR and Secure Cloud Foundation solutions is a natural evolution of this partnership; enabling TCS and their customers to leverage Google SecOps planet-level scalability, searchability, integrated and AI-assisted investigation and response workflows, and applied Mandiant Threat Intelligence,” said Peter Bailley, vice president and general manager of security operations at Google Cloud.
