In a strategic move to bolster its cybersecurity services in Europe, Wipro announced on Wednesday the opening of a Cyber Defence Centre (CDC) in Dusseldorf, Germany. This latest addition brings the company’s global CDC count to 17. Designed to offer local support, these centres cater to clients’ specific cybersecurity and compliance needs.
The Importance of Cybersecurity in a Digitally Connected World
As the threat of cyber-attacks continues to loom large and the necessity for robust data protection grows, Wipro’s CDCs aim to provide 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring. The centres are built to respond to incidents and offer remedial support to clients promptly.
Partnership with Microsoft: A Synergistic Approach
The newly launched German CDC will benefit from Wipro’s global partnership with Microsoft. Utilizing Microsoft’s suite of cybersecurity products, the centre will specifically leverage tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for IoT (Internet of Things).
Customised Solutions for Diverse Needs
John Hermans, the head of Europe cybersecurity and risk services at Wipro, emphasized that this new centre is key to expanding the company’s cybersecurity capabilities in the European market. “Cybersecurity is a business differentiator. Our capabilities are expanding to cloud-delivered services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS), as well as operational technology environments and IoT,” said Hermans.
Tailored Cybersecurity Exercises: Preparing Clients for Real-world Scenarios
To ensure clients are protected and prepared, the centre will offer tailored cybersecurity exercises. These programs aim to train clients on real-world cyber-attack scenarios and stress-test their cyber defences to assess overall cyber resilience.
Conclusion
With its 17th CDC now operational in Germany, Wipro has taken another crucial step toward fulfilling its commitment to offering advanced cybersecurity solutions globally. By partnering with industry leader Microsoft and focusing on tailored client-specific support, Wipro is well-poised to meet the ever-evolving cybersecurity needs of its customer base.
