Intertec, Tata Communications set up Cyber Security Operations Centre in the UAE

Tata Communications International Pte Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Communications Ltd., a global digital ecosystem enabler, has expanded its partnership with Intertec Systems, a system integrator in the UAE, to provide managed services in the region. Tata Communications brings its Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) and managed security services to the partnership to help enterprises in the region strengthen their cyber defenses.

“The increasing pace of technology adoption in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including remote work tools and migration to the cloud, has made many enterprises operate more efficiently and open new business avenues. The downside is it has also made enterprises more vulnerable to cyberattacks,” said Naresh Kothari, MD, and President, of Intertec Systems. “Strong partnerships aid us to advance digitalisation in the GCC. By creating an integrated offering with Tata Communications, we are adding value for our customers by bringing local and global expertise. Together, we have the capability to address various cyber security risks.”

The SOC offers managed security services combined with cyber-threat intelligence to secure enterprises’ mission-critical information while also providing world-class insights to help safeguard and protect their business. The services enable businesses to focus more on their core business and use their key resources for critical projects that are critical to their growth. The collaboration will bring innovative Security solutions, Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC), Cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as Intertec Systems service support and knowledge of the regional enterprise market.

The cutting-edge facility at Intertec Systems responds to customers’ demand for an affordable, in-country, and technically advanced SOC built by Tata Communications that improves security incident detection and mitigates the significant consequences of cyberattacks, such as financial losses and reputational damage. Tata Communications provides real-time analytics with advanced intelligence as part of managed SOC services, leveraging automation and information enrichment and monitoring 24×7.

This is based on Tata Communications dynamic cybersecurity solution, allowing people and processes to be integrated seamlessly and comprehensively into the security foundation. Tata Communications has certified professionals to counter growing risks and ramifications of cyber security breaches regardless of source, time of day, or attack type.

“We are glad to expand our partnership with Intertec Systems to enable enterprises in the UAE to lead in a digital-first world,” said Vaneet Mehta, Region Head, Middle East, Central Asia & Africa, Tata Communications. “Our combined forces bring global expertise with local experience to help customers digitally transform with agility and flexibility.
