Kyndryl Launches Global Security Operations Centre in Bengaluru

Kyndryl announced it has launched a Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Bengaluru, India that offers comprehensive support and advanced protection capabilities for the entire cyber threat lifecycle, using AI, specifically machine learning and integrated automation systems.  

The SOC in Bengaluru is designed to be a cyber defence hub that operates around the clock to offer cyber threat intelligence and incident response, collaborating with Kyndryl’s global network of cybersecurity experts.

Kyndryl provides a hybrid model that allows organisations to selectively outsource certain cybersecurity functions or fully outsource the end-to-end management of their cybersecurity operations to Kyndryl.

It will also be a centre of excellence for cybersecurity management with specialised skills, certifications and experience in cybersecurity platform management, and technologies to support security events, operational management and monitoring. 

Kyndryl's SOC capabilities include multiple- level incident monitoring, malware labs, threat hunting and security information and event management (SIEM) that monitor and correlate security events.

The SOC features high-level cyber engineering that analyses evolving compromise indicators and incident impacts to provide customers with decisive insights. The SOC also helps ensure compliance with government data protection regulations and adapts to evolving cyber threats and regulatory requirements.

The SOC is underpinned by Kyndryl’s Security Operations as a platform (SOaap) capability. The SOaap is a single, unified digital platform that provides a centralized view to help monitor, detect, prevent and respond to the latest cyber threats in real-time, in a flexible delivery and collaborative approach with Kyndryl’s global partnership ecosystem.

Integrated on Kyndryl Bridge, the SOaap enables Kyndryl to provide enhanced visibility, risk and threat management to a customer’s entire IT estate to determine the impact of any threats more quickly while also streamlining the orchestration required between IT Operations and Cybersecurity Operations. 

“We are addressing the critical security challenges faced by C-Suite leaders, the need for enhanced operational efficiency, compliance with evolving security regulations, and integration with new technologies. Our focus is on managing increased workloads, responding to dynamic business needs, and defending against an expanded attack surface. With the Indian government's strong focus on data security policies, we are committed to leading the way with innovative and responsible enterprise resilience services to make India Cyber Surakshit,” Lingraju Sawkar, President, Kyndryl India, said.
