eSentire Launches State-of-the-Art Cybersecurity Innovation Hub in India

eSentire, Inc., a leading figure in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), has unveiled its latest venture with the inauguration of a Technology Innovation Center in India operating as eSentire India Private Limited. This strategic move aims to bolster eSentire's worldwide presence while tapping into India's skilled engineering talent specialized in cybersecurity, generative AI, and low-code orchestration and automation.

Dustin Hillard, Chief Technology Officer at eSentire, alongside Raghunath Konda, Vice President of Engineering, led the inauguration of the Bengaluru-based Center, overseeing the recruitment of 50 software engineers from India. These engineers are poised to play a pivotal role in advancing the Atlas XDR Cloud Platform.

“India is a thriving ecosystem of cybersecurity talent, particularly in cloud security and generative AI,” said Dustin Hillard, Chief Technology Officer at eSentire. “The opening of our Innovation Center in India will enable eSentire to fully leverage local talent to accelerate the capabilities delivered by our XDR platform as we continue to deliver industry-leading MDR value with 24/7 SOCaaS, security monitoring and incident handling at scale”.

eSentire's dedication to aiding organizations in predicting, enduring, and rebounding from cyber-attacks across their entire attack landscape, whether on-premises or in the cloud, is facilitated by its Atlas XDR Cloud Platform. Over the course of more than ten years, the platform has amassed, processed, and correlated the daily investigative and threat-hunting endeavors of over 200 security specialists at eSentire, establishing the world's most extensive expert investigation and response dataset. With every positive SOC investigation, the platform undergoes a learning process from human actions, amplifying its effectiveness across the eSentire customer base and swiftly shielding them from emerging threat patterns.

As the industry leader in MDR and SOCaaS, eSentire’s ability to protect global businesses from known and unknown threats by operationalizing threat intelligence and responding at scale continues to set it apart from other MDR providers. eSentire was recently recognized as one of the top 3 MDR Providers in The Forrester Wave: Managed Detection and Response Services in Europe where analysts specifically cited eSentire’s exceptional capabilities in delivering and operationalizing threat intelligence, rapid threat containment and expert response. eSentire was also named in KuppingerCole’s July 2023 Worldwide Leadership Compass Report as the Overall Leader for Managed Detection and Response, as well as Product Leader, Innovation Leader and Market Leader.

eSentire's inauguration of the Technology Innovation Center in India coincides with its recent service expansion in the Middle East, showcasing its dedication not only to local hiring but also to providing tailored, compliant, round-the-clock Managed Detection and Response cybersecurity solutions to businesses in the region.

“Reputation is everything in this market and eSentire checked all the boxes”, said eSentire customer Ramakrishnan Natarajan, Head of IT, Emirates Hospitals Group. “When we had done just 10% of the deployment, I could see outcomes and I could tell the quality of research that goes behind the alerts was really impressive. To see eSentire continue to invest in our region and expand their presence across India only demonstrates their commitment to innovation and excellence”.
