PwC India and Google Cloud Unite for AI-Driven Security in India
PwC India and Google Cloud have announced a partnership to offer Google Security Operations, an advanced AI-driven SecOps platform, to organizations throughout India. This collaboration aims to address security threats using cutting-edge intelligence, expertise, and AI-enhanced technology.
India's threat landscape is rapidly evolving, necessitating quicker detection, investigation, and response to threats by both public and private sector organizations. The M-Trends 2024 Report highlights that attackers are increasingly focusing on evasion to maintain prolonged persistence on networks. They are targeting edge devices, employing "living off the land" techniques and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities more frequently.
This collaboration aims to enhance the security of organizations in India using Google Security Operations, which leverages Google’s unparalleled global threat visibility and PwC’s cutting-edge security operations and specialized threat intelligence team. This joint initiative will empower security teams to defend against current and future threats with speed and precision. Additionally, with Google Cloud’s new Security Operations region in India, customers benefit from data residency controls, which is especially crucial for security-conscious organizations.
“With an evolving threat landscape, it is imperative for organisations in India to enhance their threat intelligence capabilities and stay ahead of the curve on cyber resilience. We believe this collaboration between PwC India and Google Cloud could play a transformative role in supporting businesses to derive optimal value from their cloud investments and scale with confidence and agility,” said Sangram Gayal, Partner and Managed Services Leader – Transformation at PwC India.
“We are enthusiastic about this partnership with Google Cloud. It is a significant step toward offering our clients a completely managed security solution that integrates seamlessly with their business needs. PwC’s strength in business and technology married with Google Security Operations, will accelerate transformation, increase business agility and maximize use cases”, added Vivek Belgavi, Partner and Leader – Alliances and Ecosystems, PwC India.
“Our partnership with PwC India is a testament to the shared commitment of two industry leaders. Bringing together PwC’s vast industry expertise with the power of Gemini in Google Security Operations will be a catalyst to supercharge security operations; this is a game changer for our customers to drive operational excellence and modernize their security operations”, commented Sandeep Patil, Head of Security Partners and MSS, JAPAC, Google Cloud.
