"We are delighted to team up with TCS to help customers in their cloud journey with unparalleled next-generation, breach-prevention security capabilities," said Chad Kinzelberg, senior Vice President (Business and Corporate Development) at Palo Alto Networks.

They will also provide a range of services including consulting, audit and assessment, design, 24/7 operations and threat analysis as well as forensics to customers who are either migrating on-premise applications to or building new applications in the public cloud.

TCS' global Security Operations Centres will be leveraged to monitor advanced cyberthreats and secure organisations against malicious cyberattacks.
