HCLTech, Google Cloud partner to offer AI-based cybersecurity solution

IT services firm HCLTech has collaborated with Google Cloud Security to provide enterprise solutions for cyber threats. HCLTech, using Google Cloud’s technology, will offer artificial intelligence (AI)-based managed detection and response solutions.

Built using HCLTech’s Fusion Platform and Google Cloud Security technology, the Unified Managed Detection and Response (UMDR) will deliver a modular operating model for clients looking for flexibility and end-to-end capabilities that deliver advanced detection and protection to complex environments, including operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), hybrid cloud, IAM, end points, network and applications.

“We are committed to achieving superior security outcomes for clients through our rich and flexible solutions and Fusion security operations platform powered by Google Cloud. Our partnership with Google Cloud Security allows us to integrate their robust security automation capabilities with our extensive cybersecurity expertise built over the last 26 years," said Amit Jain, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Cybersecurity, HCLTech.

"As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, organisations need robust solutions to help safeguard their operations,” said Magali Bohn, Director of Partners, Google Cloud Security. “Google Cloud's advanced Security Operations suite and expertise combined with HCLTech's extensive cybersecurity experience can help businesses to stay ahead of emerging risks.”

Notably, last week HCLTech partnered with US-based chipmaker Intel to introduce a new data security solution for enterprises. The service, named DataTrustShield, is designed to safeguard sensitive information in cloud-based environments. 

DataTrustShield leverages Intel’s Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), including Intel Trust Domain Extensions (Intel TDX) and Intel Trust Authority. These technologies provide a secure foundation for protecting data during cloud operations, enabling safe data sharing across platforms while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The service also enhances protection for applications and intellectual property.
