Global tech giants such as Microsoft, Sun Pharma and Check Point are actively investing and striving to combat cybersecurity in their organisations. In an exclusive interview with Check Point’s Harish Kumar, insights on India’s cybersecurity landscape and plans for 2023 were discussed. Sun Pharma were recently attacked by the infamous ransomware group ALPHV BlackCat who threatened to release sensitive data.
Microsoft has been an industry leader in cybersecurity for many years, under the leadership of Satya Nadella. The company has invested extensively in developing innovative technologies and solutions like advanced threat protection tools which use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to detect and address cyber-attacks in real-time. Microsoft has also created partnerships with cybersecurity companies and other industry frontrunners to share threat intelligence and streamline their cybersecurity strategies.
Check Point, one of the leading providers of cybersecurity solutions, is dedicated to protecting customers from cyber threats. Founded in 1993, the company has developed comprehensive security platforms such as cloud security, mobile security and endpoint security, setting the gold standard of cybersecurity. Harish Kumar, the Managing Director of Check Point India, is committed to ensuring computing security for his customers and the citizens of the nation.
Being the second largest pharma company in India, Sun Pharma is one of the most prominent drugmakers employing thousands of people across the globe. Unfortunately, recently Sun Pharma was attacked by the infamous ransomware group ALPHV BlackCat who threatened to release sensitive data. Though the company refused to pay the ransom, small parts of their data were leaked as per the threat.
It is essential that global tech companies invest in the brightest minds, cutting edge technology and a robust security infrastructure. The combination of expertise, technology and resilience will help combat and protect organisations from the ever-changing cyber threats.
