TEXAS, UNITED STATES — Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike and IT firm HCLTech have announced a strategic global partnership to boost enterprise cybersecurity transformation.
Under the agreement, HCLTech’s managed detection and response (MDR) services will be standardized on CrowdStrike’s artificial intelligence (AI)-native Falcon XDR platform.
The partnership aims to empower HCLTech to deliver the full breadth of the Falcon platform, assisting businesses in cybersecurity transformation across devices, identities, cloud, data, and next-gen SIEM (Security Information and Event Management).
Additionally, the collaboration seeks to provide organizations with the speed and expertise needed to stop breaches, leveraging CrowdStrike’s AI-driven platform and HCLTech’s managed services capabilities.
