Tech Mahindra, Microsoft collaborate to develop virtual security solutions

Tech Mahindra has joined hands with Microsoft to build SenTindra, a cloud-based virtual security operations centre developed on Microsoft Sentinel (a cloud-native solution). The Pune-based firm claims that this collaboration will enhance security, simplify access, and set smart policies across customers’ different cloud environments.  

Tech Mahindra, while making the announcement, claims that SenTindra offers a single monitoring pane with all security components integrated to assist in immediate addressing of security threats and thereby giving customers an improved security posture. This will cover the entire lifecycle of the migration and transformation requirements for a smooth experience for its customers.   

Kunal Purohit, Chief Digital Services Officer, Tech Mahindra, said, “Cyberattacks today are more advanced than ever before, hence there is a need for a holistic next generation security solution that brings data aggregation, analytics, visibility, orchestration, AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning) capabilities bundled together. Through this collaboration we will provide the ‘SenTindra’ platform that will enable enterprises to experience focused industry use cases and custom solutions on Sentinel’s solution.”  

By leveraging on Microsoft Sentinel’s AI-enabled data aggregation and analysing capability, and Tech Mahindra’s MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) capabilities, this collaboration aims to improve customers’ security posture by providing ready to use templates that help collect, detect, investigate and respond to security threats. Additionally, it aims to reduce delivery risks and assessment phase timelines for customers. 

Vasu Jakkal, CVP, Microsoft, Security, Compliance, Identity and Privacy, states, “With the launch of the ‘Sentinel Showcase Labs - Sentindra’, global customers will have a platform to experience various custom-built and very relevant scenarios focused on the need of specific industries and business environments and demonstrate the holistic end-to-end features of our scalable SIEM (security information and event management) & SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) solution.”
