Wipro Limited announced the expansion of its partnership with Palo Alto Networks to offer AI-driven Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. The partnership brings together Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XSIAM platform with Wipro's CyberShield managed security services capabilities.
The new offering delivers proactive cyber defense with simplified workflows using machine learning, AI, and automation to predict and protect against future attacks. It enables faster detection and response across complex environments while filtering signals from noise, improving analyst efficiency, and increasing focus on critical, high-impact threats.
The offering is supported by Wipro's WEGA and WINGS AI delivery platforms, which are part of the Wipro Intelligence™ suite of AI-powered platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings for workflow orchestration, service transition, and automation at scale across security operations.
Satish Yadavalli, Global Business Head - Cloud, Infrastructure, and Security Services at Wipro Limited, stated: "Together with Palo Alto Networks, we are able to transform security operations through AI, automation, and platform consolidation, strengthening organizations' security environments while optimizing costs and improving outputs."
Simone Gammeri, Senior Vice President and Chief Partnership Officer at Palo Alto Networks, commented: "AI-manufactured attacks require an AI-powered defense, and our partnership with Wipro helps deliver just that. Our combined capabilities empower mutual customers to consolidate tools, eliminate data silos, and leverage AI and automation to reduce noise, accelerate response from days to minutes, and ultimately stop even the most sophisticated threats."
The MDR services are delivered through Wipro's eight Cyber Defense Centers (CDCs), anchored by the proprietary SOC GURU (Grand Unified Runbook Unleashed) framework—a unique IP that drives SOC transformation through attack- and alert-agnostic analysis.
The approach has already been implemented in a recent engagement with a European gaming and entertainment leader, where Wipro and Palo Alto Networks helped transform security operations in a complex enterprise environment to deliver improved productivity, accelerated response, and reduced costs.
