Deloitte India Adopts IBM Cloud To Bolster Cyber Intelligence Centre Operations

Deloitte India is adopting IBM's cloud infrastructure services and migrating its security operations centre from on-premise data centres to IBM Cloud, an enterprise cloud platform, to digitally enhance its Cyber Intelligence Centre operations.

Deloitte India’s CICs located in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gurugram offer customisable managed security solutions—ranging from advanced security event monitoring to incident response—to meet the rising demand for cybersecurity services.

According to Deloitte India, the shift to professional cloud-based hosting is driven by factors such as rising complexity of cyberattacks and the need to comply with data privacy regulations, including Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. By migrating to IBM Cloud and leveraging the IBM Security QRadar Suite, Deloitte India’s CIC will be able to offer advanced, large-scale, managed security services. 

“In a rapidly evolving cyber and regulatory landscape, securing data and systems is no longer an option but a necessity for Indian businesses. Adopting IBM’s cloud platform enables us to significantly enhance our threat detection and response capabilities for our clients,” said Kamaljit Chawla, partner, risk advisory, Deloitte India.

IBM Cloud’s scalability will help Deloitte India reduce turnaround time to onboard new clients. As part of the collaboration, Red Hat OpenShift—a cloud-based Kubernetes platform—on IBM Cloud will also enable the CIC to better manage demanding workloads for artificial intelligence, machine learning, edge computing and more.

“With the costs and pace of cyberattacks growing exponentially in India, it is no longer a question of if businesses will be attacked—rather it is when they will be attacked. With IBM Cloud, Deloitte CIC can gain much-needed scalability and flexibility to better service their customers while ensuring the integrity and security of critical data assets,” said Viswanath Ramaswamy, vice president, technology, IBM India and South Asia.
