Tech Mahindra announced expanding its strategic partnership with Cisco to deliver a next-generation firewall (NGFW) modernization solution for their shared global customers.
The partnership between Cisco and Tech Mahindra elevates standard firewall functions with sophisticated features such as unified policy management across on-premises and cloud environments.
Additionally, it integrates Talos threat intelligence and delivers comprehensive malware defense for the network and endpoints, among other enhancements.
Kunal Purohit, Chief Digital Services Officer, Tech Mahindra, said, “While firewalls are critical to an organization’s network security, they can also be time-consuming, complex, and expensive to deploy, manage, and operate. Our partnership with Cisco is a significant step towards providing a unique, robust, efficient, and cost-effective solution for the firewall modernization roadmap.”
The partnership will further expand Tech Mahindra’s security service portfolio, enhance market reach, and provide upskilling opportunities for its workforce.
As per analyst reports, the global average data breach cost was $4.35 million in 2023.
Nick Holden, VP of Global and Strategic Partners & Ecosystem Co-Sell, Cisco, said, “As global customers continue to modernize their infrastructure, they’ll need a next-generation firewall solution that scales as their network expands, combines multiple security functions into one platform, and provides threat intelligence across different security layers. Our partnership with Tech Mahindra offers these customers a specialized way to customize and implement these firewall capabilities based on their unique business and network needs.”
