Deloitte India announces security collaboration with Google Cloud

Professional services company Deloitte India says it has expanded its strategic partnership with cloud computing services business Google Cloud. The firm will serve as a premier partner, reseller and managed security service provider (MSSP) for Google Cloud in India.

This collaboration, the partners say, will focus on helping Indian enterprises and public sector organisations better manage cyber risks by combining Deloitte’s security advisory experience with Google Cloud’s AI-driven security operations portfolio.

This collaboration will support clients in designing and operating modern security operations centres (SOCs), migrating legacy environments to the cloud and adopting ‘security-as-a-service’ models. This is intended to help organisations improve threat detection and response, meet data protection obligations and manage security operations without the need to build and staff large in-house SOC teams.

The partnership focuses on the deployment and management of three core Google Cloud security solutions, among other capabilities. The first, Google Security Operations, is described as a modern, cloud-native security operations platform that enables security teams to ingest, analyse and search petabytes of data at high speed. Deloitte will use this platform to provide 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) services.

Google Cloud Cybershield, meanwhile, is a solution designed to help governments and critical infrastructure providers build national or state-level cyber defence centres, supporting greater situational awareness and cyber intelligence for public sector entities.

The third security solution is Google Threat Intelligence, a global threat intelligence capability. Deloitte’s SOC teams will use this to hunt for threats before they impact client environments.

While Deloitte and Google Cloud do maintain a global partnership in security, this expanded collaboration is focused on the India region, reflecting the increasing importance of data localisation, sector-specific regulatory requirements and the need for context-aware cyber defence capabilities tailored to Indian enterprises and public sector entities.

It is aimed at major sectors, including banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), energy, resources and industrials (ERI), manufacturing, large conglomerates, consumer businesses and government and public sector organisations.

This collaboration will also help organisations align technology implementation with regulatory expectations by addressing compliance and policy requirements related to security observability, threat monitoring and incident management.
