BT opens cybersecurity operations centre in India
BT’s new Cyber Security Operations Centre (CyberSOC) in Gurugram India was inaugurated by Sir Dominic Asquith, British High Commissioner to the Republic of India.
Using a range of advanced cybersecurity tools and through partnerships with key suppliers, the Cyber SOC will monitor threats against BT’s own assets and its customers’ networks on a 24x7 basis. BT’s cybersecurity specialists will be able to detect, analyse and mitigate cyberthreats in real time, working closely with incident response teams to ensure that issues are addressed as soon as they are discovered.
The Cyber SOC in Gurugram will provide “follow-the-sun” services for international businesses, including threat assessment, investigations, intrusion detection & prevention, ethical hacking and penetration testing. The new Cyber SOC will employ a further 100 cybersecurity specialists. BT already has a team of 250 security people based separately in Gurugram, providing security services such as firewall and device management.
Sir Dominic Asquith says, “I’m delighted to inaugurate this new Cyber Security Operations Centre in Gurugram, which is another fantastic demonstration of the UK’s world-leading cybersecurity expertise. This is exactly the kind of investment that the ambitious UK-India Tech Partnership, agreed by our Prime Ministers earlier this year, aims to achieve.”
Mark Hughes, CEO for BT Security, comments, “The Cyber SOC opened by the High Commissioner significantly adds to our security capability in the rapidly-expanding Indian market, as well as to our global footprint of Security Operations Centres. We’re committed to providing an industry-leading service to our international customers, and we’re investing to ensure we remain their security partner of choice.”
