HCLTech beefs up its cybersecurity solutions with CrowdStrike platform

• Customers need AI-native technology as well as the benefits of a managed security solution to reduce complexity and serve as a force multiplier for security and IT teams.

India’s HCLTech is strengthening its managed detection and response (MDR) solutions to defend against cyber threats by using AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform.

The two companies formed a partnership in a bid to assist organisations in cybersecurity transformation across device, identity, cloud, data, next-gen SIEM and beyond.

According to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report, cyberattacks are escalating and continue to grow faster, stealthier and more sophisticated.

“Generative AI has the potential to amplify adversary activity, arming attackers of all sophistication levels with advanced tradecraft. At the same time, the growing cybersecurity skills gap and lack of resources impacts security operations at many organisations, increasing the risk of a data breach,” the report said.

Reducing complexity

To protect against modern threats, customers need AI-native technology as well as the benefits of a managed security solution to reduce complexity and serve as a force multiplier for security and IT teams.

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform leverages real-time indicators of attack, threat intelligence, evolving adversary tradecraft and enriched telemetry from across the enterprise to deliver hyper-accurate detections, automated protection and remediation, elite threat hunting and prioritised observability of vulnerabilities.

 “Delivering a dynamic cybersecurity posture is core to our solutions and engagements, and the partnership with CrowdStrike will further strengthen our commitment to accelerate this journey for our customers,” Amit Jain, executive vice president and global head of cybersecurity at HCLTech, said.

Moreover, he said that CrowdStrike’s AI platform will fuel the company’s existing managed services solutions to unleash a powerful defense against cyber threats.

 “Organisations across the globe select the AI-native Falcon platform to transform and consolidate their cybersecurity,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike.

“Our partnership with HCLTech extends the reach of the Falcon platform to new customers and markets, expediting spend consolidation and improving operational efficiencies. We’re proud of the success that we’re experiencing with HCLTech and are excited about the opportunity ahead – jointly on a mission to secure the world’s largest enterprises on cybersecurity’s winning platform.”
