HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology company, announced that it had expanded its strategic partnership with Microsoft to bring strong security capabilities to clients worldwide.

In addition, HCL Technologies announced it has joined MISA (Microsoft Intelligent Security Association), an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers who have integrated their solutions to better defend against a world of increasing threats. This nomination to MISA further reinforces HCL Technologies’ commitment to Microsoft’s partner ecosystem and being a global leader in managed security services.

 

As companies look to modernize, they seek to engage partners with advanced cybersecurity skills to migrate, optimize and manage their existing workloads to the cloud. HCL Technologies offers holistic solutions integrated with Microsoft products that encompass the full breadth of security, compliance and identity management. The combination of HCL Technologies’ cybersecurity fusion platform solutions and deep domain knowledge, along with Microsoft’s range of security products, like Azure Sentinel and Microsoft 365 E5, covering identity and access, information protection, hybrid cloud infrastructure security, IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) security and cloud app security, gives organizations the building blocks to better defend against a dynamic cybersecurity environment.

 

Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated and brazen in disrupting supply chain infrastructure and operations. Today, organizations face multiple security challenges related to identity and access management, protecting and monitoring the security of their IP and customer data.
