In an exciting new development, Kyndryl, the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider, has announced an expanded technology partnership with Cisco to deliver services focused on cyber resilience. This collaboration will see Kyndryl utilizing Cisco’s comprehensive portfolio of network software, hardware, and equipment alongside Kyndryl’s cyber resilience framework to help customers proactively address and respond to cyber incidents.
One of the key aspects of this partnership is Cisco’s open platform known as Cisco Security Cloud. By leveraging this platform, Kyndryl will be able to integrate multi-vendor solutions, providing customers with a more cohesive and integrated solution. Additionally, Kyndryl’s team of experts, known as Kyndryl Consult, will work closely with managed services for cyber resilience to help customers expedite their adoption and decrease the time it takes to implement these solutions.
Brian Feeney, Vice President, Global Security Partner Sales at Cisco, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Our partners play a critical role in helping customers achieve their business objectives and building resilient outcomes. Through our partnership with Kyndryl, customers gain more efficient and integrated security solutions to maximize the return on their security investment.” Feeney sees this expanded partnership as a testament to Cisco’s commitment to aligning with the channel and supporting partners’ managed services capabilities.
Michelle Weston, Kyndryl Vice President of Global Offerings for Security and Resiliency, emphasized the importance of incorporating a cyber resilient framework into customers’ IT strategies and business operations as they increasingly consume cloud-based applications. She stated, “Our collaboration with Cisco will enable Kyndryl to support our customers’ zero trust journeys with dynamic and tailored solutions while integrating existing security controls.”
Partnerships with companies like Cisco allow Kyndryl to co-invest and collaborate on the development process, leading to the creation of scalable offerings. Kyndryl plans to deliver these solutions to help customers meet their business needs in key areas such as application modernization, secure infrastructure with zero trust network, and hybrid work.
To provide even more flexibility for businesses, Kyndryl offers security and resiliency capabilities through its global network operations centers (NOCs) and security operations centers (SOCs). These centers ensure that businesses have the necessary support and expertise to address cybersecurity threats and maintain the integrity of their IT infrastructure.
