A cloud governance service allows enterprises to set custom rules and requirements for their data on cloud platforms, and monitor their operations to adjust efficiencies based on their business requirements.

Nitesh Gupta, senior vice-president and head of global practices at 3i Infotech, said that to keep up with digital transformation mandates across the world, companies are today required to “adapt to rapid change in managing their network, security, and data complexity on the internet or at the edge.” Gupta further added that as a result, business models of service providers — such as 3i Infotech and CoreStack — are also evolving in tandem.

The partnership comes amid a sea of industry-wide transformation among cloud-based security service providers, who have been adopting a multi-cloud approach to appeal to a wider range of enterprises. In May this year, industry stakeholders told Mint that a multi-cloud approach, including dedicated security providers (such as 3i Infotech), is the way forward for cloud computing to evolve among businesses.
