To provide customers with new 'security-as-a-service' offerings and address mobile security threats

PTI | November 22, 2011



Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam on Monday entered into an agreement with the Moscow-based IT security and anti-virus solution firm Kaspersky Lab to offer managed security services to telcos.

"Mahindra Satyam is already in talks with telecom service providers to provide such solutions. As soon as they launch their managed services, we will launch our services through them. Our understanding with Kaspersky is to jointly address this market with solutions, platforms and models, to provide customers with new 'security-as-a-service' offerings and address mobile security threats," Mahindra Satyam chief executive C P Gurnani said in Mumbai.

Kaspersky will also work with Tech Mahindra to create a range of managed security services offerings aimed at the small and medium business sector. These services, built using Kaspersky's security products and Mahindra's expertise in service delivery, are expected to provide small businesses with access to enterprise class security at low transaction costs.

Under the MoU, Kaspersky, Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam have agreed to leverage their strengths in security products and services to develop joint security solutions in the areas of mobility and endpoint security, besides cloud security services. These solutions will aim to address security threats to consumers and corporates in the country and outside especially and Asia Pacific.
