As part of the pact, Google will implement its cloud-based Google SecOps at no cost through Ilois Digital; MoU will remain in effect for three years

Hyderabad: The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Google marking a major step forward in strengthening cybersecurity by Telangana Police.

Under the MoU, Google will implement its cloud-based Security Operations Center (SOC), Google SecOps, at no cost, through Ilois Digital, an authorized implementation partner of Google Cloud India Private Limited. The MoU will remain in effect for three years and will also help train Telangana Police in handling and responding to cyber security incidents.

The solution offers monitoring and response to malicious threats and captures real-time data from networks and internet packets. It applies deep analytics and threat intelligence to correlate alerts and flag malicious cyber security incidents.

Further, as per the MoU, Arete IR LLP will provide Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) services and deploy the Sentinel One EDR solution for TGCSB, at no cost. This initiative aims to fortify endpoint security and provide round-the-clock services, including threat monitoring, detection, analysis, and response across the Telangana Police’s IT infrastructure, with a focus on the endpoint level.

Shikha Goel, Director, TGCSB said “The MoU would help for the Security Operations Centre and Endpoint Detection and Response solution which is a pivotal step in proactively identifying and neutralizing malicious security threats, and strengthening Telangana Police’s cyber defence capabilities.”
