Kyndryl launches cyber defense hub in Bengaluru

IT infrastructure services provider Kyndryl launched a security operations center (SOC) in Bengaluru on Monday. The center provided support and artificial intelligence (AI)-based advanced protection capabilities for the entire cyber threat lifecycle. 

The Bengaluru SOC will be an around-the-clock cyber defence hub, collaborating with Kyndryl’s global network of cybersecurity experts. It will also be a center of excellence for cybersecurity management with specialised skills, certifications, and technologies to support security events, operational management and monitoring. 

“Our focus is on managing increased workloads, responding to dynamic business needs, and defending against an expanded attack surface. With the Indian government's strong focus on data security policies, we are committed to leading the way with innovative and responsible enterprise resilience services to make India Cyber Surakshit,” said Lingraju Sawkar, President, Kyndryl India. 

Kyndryl's SOC offers advanced capabilities such as multi-level incident monitoring, malware labs, threat hunting, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to monitor and correlate security events. It provides high-level cyber engineering to analyse emerging threats and incident impacts, delivering decisive insights to customers. The SOC is underpinned by Kyndryl’s Security Operations as a platform (SOaap) capability, which is a single, unified digital platform that provides a centralised view.

With the swift shift to cloud and hybrid working environments, sophisticated cyber threats and vulnerabilities have surged. The SOC will observe, identify, prevent, and react immediately to these threats. This system demonstrates Kyndryl’s dedication to advancing our technologies, helping organisations achieve the best results while maintaining control over their data and information security,” said Kris Lovejoy, Security & Resiliency Global Practice Leader, Kyndryl.
