"Cloud requires new ways to handle security, visibility, governance and risk management. Wipro’s broad capabilities that relate to its multicloud managed security services greatly benefit customers’ migration and modernization strategies," says Cathy Huang, research director, Worldwide Security Services at IDC. "In particular, Wipro’s varying levels of automation support, along with easy access to quality resources are highly appreciated by its customers."
As cyber threats and attack surfaces increase exponentially, organizations must embrace transformational cybersecurity with the ability to scale through managed security services. To meet this demand, Wipro has expanded its cybersecurity and risk capabilities into an integrated, end-to-end portfolio of services that deliver strategy, implementation and managed services across five practice domains:
Wipro’s cyber growth has accelerated in part thanks to several key 2021 acquisitions. Capco, a global management and technology consultancy, and Ampion, an Australian provider of cybersecurity and DevOps, were brought on board in early 2021. Near the end of 2021, Wipro acquired Edgile, a transformational cybersecurity consulting provider with a unique business-aligned, strategy-first approach.
The report noted, “Wipro, a global IT and business services provider headquartered in India, has a presence in 110 countries and service coverage for all the geographies.” “Wipro's Competency Framework offers numerous options for upskilling, cross-skilling, and certifying security personnel,” the IDC MarketScape report stated “Wipro uses numerous methods to assess and improve service delivery, support customer success, and update key performance indicators (KPIs). Customer success managers and cloud security advisors work closely with customers to create value and customer delight, specifically related to automation.
The report went on to note, “Customers rate Wipro strongly on the access to a wide array of partners. The three major cloud hyperscalers have strategic partnerships with Wipro and they leverage Wipro's engineering capability either to build industry-specific solutions on their cloud platforms or to be a beta partner to push specific agendas.”
Wipro’s focus for enterprise cybersecurity is to enable business growth while defending business operations. This requires deep expertise in digital transformation, regulatory environments and emerging tech. As threat landscapes rapidly expand, it becomes critical for Wipro’s customers to directly address remote, cloud and global supplier cybersecurity issues.
