Bengaluru: LTIMindtree has launched its Cyber Defense Resiliency Center (CDRC) in Bengaluru, India, to tackle the growing risks of cyberattacks globally. The center, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI), aims to strengthen cybersecurity operations for enterprises worldwide.
The move comes at a critical time when cybercrime is projected to reach $23.84 trillion globally by 2027, according to a USAID report. In India alone, nearly 600 cyberattacks were reported in the first half of 2024, with sectors such as education, government, and technology being the most affected. This growing trend highlights the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity measures.
The CDRC will function as a 24/7 hub for managing the cyber threat lifecycle, offering services like threat detection, incident response, and risk management. LTIMindtree plans to leverage AI-based tools, including predictive analytics and natural language processing, to identify vulnerabilities and mitigate risks proactively. The center will also focus on automating security processes to enhance efficiency and reduce the workload on human analysts.
Nachiket Deshpande, Whole-Time Director and COO of LTIMindtree, said the CDRC will help clients respond to security incidents in real time and improve overall resilience against cyber threats. “We are consistently upgrading our cybersecurity capabilities to protect client data and address increasing security risks,” Deshpande said.
The facility will serve as a Center of Excellence for LTIMindtree’s cybersecurity operations, supporting a global network of specialists. Designed to accommodate 100 professionals, it will also function as an experience center, showcasing the company’s cybersecurity expertise to potential clients.
This launch is part of LTIMindtree’s broader strategy to integrate AI into its operations and address the growing demand for robust cybersecurity solutions. By investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure, the company aims to support its clients’ digital transformation efforts and ensure data protection across critical industries.
