Tech Mahindra announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Cisco to deliver a next-generation firewall (NGFW) modernization solution for their shared global customers.

The partnership between Cisco and Tech Mahindra elevates standard firewall functions with sophisticated features such as unified policy management across on-premises and cloud environments. Additionally, it integrates Talos threat intelligence and delivers comprehensive malware defense for the network and endpoints, among other enhancements.

Kunal Purohit, chief digital services officer, Tech Mahindra, said, “Enterprises need a flexible approach that allows them to scale at speed while modernizing their network security. While firewalls are critical to the organization’s network security, they can be time-consuming, complex, and expensive to deploy, manage, and operate. The partnership with Cisco marks a milestone in providing a unique, robust, efficient, and cost-effective solution for the firewall modernization roadmap.”

The partnership aims to expand Tech Mahindra’s security service portfolio, extend market reach, and create upskilling opportunities for its workforce. Leveraging Tech Mahindra’s extensive network and security engineering consultancy resources, the collaboration includes a robust team operating across key global markets, including the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
