Bangalore, India and London, UK - September 12, 2016:

Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, today announced a partnership with Vectra Networks, a Silicon Valley-based cybersecurity company that provides automated threat management solutions for real-time detection of in-progress cyber attacks

Wipro will leverage the Vectra automated threat management platform built with artificial intelligence-based on machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect attacker behaviors and user anomalies in the network. 

According to Gartner, "most enterprises have limited capabilities to detect and respond to breaches when they inevitably occur, resulting in longer 'dwell times' and increased damage."

We believe organizations these days incur significant fines because they do not have adequate solutions to detect breaches or cannot contain them in a reasonable period.

Gartner also says that by 2020, 60% of enterprise information security budgets will be allocated to rapid detection and response approaches — up from less than 10% in 2014.1

As threats became more intelligent and sophisticated, traditional security solutions will become inadequate over time because they will continue to make snap judgments based on incomplete information.

Wipro's 'Threat Hunting as- a- Service' offering, powered by Vectra Networks, provides enterprises with an automated threat hunting platform for real-time detection of threats. Wipro's offering complements the Vectra platform with comprehensive 'Threat Life Cycle Management Capabilities and Services' to the enterprise.  

Wipro offers its 'Threat Hunting as- a- Service' round-the-clock from its Cyber Defense Centers spread across the world, including Georgia and Texas, USA, Mississauga, Canada, Warsaw, Poland and multiple centers in India.

"We are very excited to partner with Vectra to launch our 'Threat Hunting as- a -Service offering', said Hiral Chandrana, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Business Applications and Cybersecurity & Risk Services, Wipro Limited. "'Threat Hunting as- a- Service' combines the best of next-gen technology from Vectra Networks and managed services from Wipro. This service, which is part of Wipro's Cyber Defense Platform, is key to our strategy to meet the cyber threat management demands of enterprises, worldwide."

"Many organizations already leverage Wipro's managed security services as a natural extension of their IT organization," said Hitesh Sheth, Chief Executive Officer of Vectra Networks. "Our partnership with Wipro will fast-track our global footprint and significantly increase our ability to address the security and service needs of large enterprises. Using the Vectra automated threat management platform, Wipro will deliver the industry's first 'Threat Hunting-as -a –Service' that leverages artificial intelligence based on machine learning and behavioral analytics."
