PwC India announced a collaboration with Microsoft India to expand its incident response and recovery capabilities. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, PwC India and Microsoft have joined forces to effectively protect enterprises by combining PwC India’s incident management capabilities with Microsoft’s advanced technology.
PwC India’s collaboration with Microsoft India provides clients with access to threat intelligence to solve complex problems arising from breaches. Clients will also be able to leverage PwC’s global presence, enabling teams to mobilize quickly, whether remotely or on-site.
Microsoft Copilot Security is a generative AI-powered security solution, with use of it enterprises can utilize Microsoft’s large-scale data and threat intelligence security graph along with PwC’s secure system rebuilding and broader incident management capabilities. In addition, Microsoft Incident Response swiftly identifies and evicts bad actors, while PwC India focuses on rebuilding mission-critical systems securely.
Anand Jethalia, Country Head, Security, Microsoft India, said, “With the increasing speed, scale and sophistication of cyberattacks, organizations face an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape. Our collaborating with PwC will enable customers to stay resilient by leveraging Microsoft’s tech and AI innovations and empowers enterprises to tackle threats at the speed and scale of AI.”
Vivek Belgavi, Partner and Leader – Alliances and Ecosystems, PwC India said, “As per PwC India’s CEO Survey, cyber risk was identified as one of the top three key threats in the next 12 months by Indian CEOs. We believe that AI-based tools like Copilot can help reduce a disadvantage for cyber teams overwhelmed by the sheer number and complexity of human-led cyber attacks, both of which are on the rise.
“With this collaboration, PwC India can help our clients improve security posture management, incident response, and security reporting,” said Vivek.
PwC India can support in-house threat intelligence capabilities by building new data feeds, collecting, analysing, and distributing timely details on potential attacks and providing global visibility on the threat landscape.
