TCS and Google Cloud to launch AI-powered cybersecurity solutions

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to offer two new cybersecurity solutions to customers. The partnership aims to strengthen cyber resilience for enterprises across industries and empower them with domain-focused innovation with cutting-edge technologies from TCS and Google Cloud.

The development comes in the wake of the Indian tech giant launching a state-of-the-art TCS Pace Studio in Manila, Philippines a week back.

The TCS Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, powered by Google Security Operations will enable security teams to reduce the time required to detect, and respond to threats. It combines the hyperscaler’s advanced threat detection capabilities with TCS’ contextual knowledge to enable continuous security monitoring and round-the-clock response. The TCS Secure Cloud Foundation leverages capabilities from Google Cloud’s security solutions to strengthen cloud security posture and governance across single, multi, and hybrid cloud environments by embedding security and compliance guardrails throughout the DevSecOps lifecycle. Leveraging AI, machine learning, and automation, the solution continuously monitors risks, identifies deviations, and recommends remedial actions.

Ganesa Subramanian, VP and Global Head, Cybersecurity Business Group, TCS, said, “Businesses are rapidly transforming, and they must secure their transformation journey to grow with confidence. The rise of Generative AI further underscores the need to modernize cybersecurity and strengthen cyber resilience. 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.”

TCS has already deployed both solutions successfully for several of its clients. For example, the Secure Cloud Foundation solution has assisted a global bank headquartered in Germany in automating, identifying, and deploying over 800 build-time and runtime security policies, ensuring adherence to regulatory compliance requirements.

In a partnership spanning a decade, TCS and Google Cloud have helped global enterprises transform their businesses with the power of cloud. This new phase of the partnership will focus on leveraging Google Cloud’s AI-powered security portfolio across threat intelligence, security operations and cloud security. TCS and Google Cloud will help clients secure their cloud transformation journeys by offering tailored solutions at a global scale, along with local expertise to adhere to regulatory compliance.

Peter Bailey, Vice President and General Manager of Security Operations, Google Cloud, said, “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. Together, we can help customer organizations dramatically improve their security posture and ability to respond to threats in real time.”
