LTIMindtree has launched a new Cyber Defense Resiliency Center in Bengaluru, focusing on enhancing cybersecurity for businesses globally amid rising cyber threats.
LTIMindtree has officially inaugurated its Cyber Defense Resiliency Center (CDRC) in Bengaluru, India, as part of its strategic initiative to enhance cybersecurity measures for businesses globally. This facility aims to provide robust support and protection capabilities throughout the cyber threat lifecycle, predominantly utilising artificial intelligence (AI), with a particular emphasis on generative AI (GenAI). The establishment of the CDRC aligns with LTIMindtree’s mission of integrating AI across its operations and in client services.
The urgency for fortified cybersecurity measures has been underscored by a cybersecurity report from USAID that projects global cybercrime will escalate to an alarming $23.84 trillion by the year 2027. India itself recorded close to 600 cyberattack incidents during the first half of 2024, with sectors such as education, government, and technology being notably affected. This landscape highlights the pressing need for advanced cybersecurity solutions.
The CDRC aims to adopt a customer-centric approach driven by AI, developing innovative cybersecurity solutions that empower clients to create more resilient enterprises. This includes automating and optimising security operations and providing capabilities for threat detection, incident response, and effective resource management. The centre will supply platform-based enterprise cybersecurity solutions that are designed to be proactive, prescriptive, and cognitively autonomous. It will also utilise predictive analytics, employing natural language processing to analyse diverse data inputs and identify potential threats, ultimately facilitating improved operational efficiency and risk management for clients.
Nachiket Deshpande, the Whole-Time Director and COO of LTIMindtree, articulated the company’s commitment to AI and cybersecurity, stating, “At LTIMindtree, AI and cybersecurity are at the center of everything we do, and we are excited to launch this AI-driven CDRC for our global clients. This CDRC can help our clients respond to real-time security incidents, minimising cyberattacks’ impact. They can also free up human analysts to focus on more complex tasks.” He further emphasised the importance of continuously enhancing cybersecurity capabilities to protect valuable data amidst rising security threats.
Operating on a 24/7 basis, the CDRC will offer cyber threat intelligence and incident response services to LTIMindtree’s global clientele. The centre will also benefit from the expertise of the company’s network of cybersecurity specialists, acting as a Centre of Excellence (COE) that focuses on cyber operations, event support, and operational management. Featuring a modernised, 100-seater facility, the CDRC will serve as an experience centre, showcasing LTIMindtree’s advanced data security capabilities to its clients.
This new initiative by LTIMindtree signifies a proactive step in the ongoing struggle to combat cyber threats, aiming to fortify businesses and enhance their resilience against a backdrop of increasing digital vulnerabilities.
