Hexaware, AccuKnox partner for Zero Trust cloud security
NAVI MUMBAI, INDIA, and CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES — Hexaware Technologies, an IT services provider, partners with AccuKnox, a provider of Zero Trust security for cloud-native workloads, to integrate AccuKnox’s Zero Trust Cloud Security platform into Hexaware’s global enterprise services.
The collaboration targets complex, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments in heavily regulated sectors that require stringent protection.
“Our global clients run mission-critical workloads in the cloud, and we see firsthand the security needs that come with speed, scale, and complexity,” said Mohit Vaish, Global Head of Cybersecurity at Hexaware Technologies
Securing hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI-driven infrastructures
Organizations now prioritize robust security that can scale as complexities rise in hybrid, multi-cloud, and agentic-AI infrastructures, creating a clear market need that this alliance addresses.
“Partnering with Hexaware allows us to support customers with scalable delivery, strong security engineering discipline, and deep enterprise experience,” said Nat Natraj, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AccuKnox.
The move unites AccuKnox’s specialized security technology with Hexaware’s extensive service delivery. AccuKnox offers its Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that includes Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Kubernetes Security (KSPM), and Runtime Zero-Trust Enforcement.
Hexaware adds its pervasive delivery of enterprise cloud computing, application development, managed security services, and worldwide client access to successfully realize and manage these forces.
Targeting critical sectors: BFSI, telecom and healthcare
The partnership specifically focuses on industries where security and compliance are key to business continuity.
The companies will directly benefit the financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors, which have been identified as enormous, highly regulated, and still vulnerable to targeted cyberattacks.
Their combined objectives are specific to these high-stakes environments, and they aim to enhance cloud and KSPM security across BFSI, healthcare, and government.
Vaish notes that their partnership with AccuKnox “reflects our commitment to helping clients protect their cloud apps and infrastructure.”
“This capability directly complements our AI-led automation and zero-trust approach for cybersecurity,” he added.
This collaboration will allow the implementation in a variety of models—cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and air-gapped—as well as the development of packaged solutions, co-innovation, and cybersecurity awareness activities specifically around these controlled businesses.
Bridging the gap between innovation and compliance
The partnership comes at a critical time when enterprises are aggressively adopting agentic-AI and autonomous technologies, which often outpace traditional security perimeters.
Raj Panchapakesan, Global Head of Business Development & Partner Ecosystem at AccuKnox, emphasized that Hexaware’s strong foothold in industries requiring “operational continuity” makes them an ideal partner for this transition.
As these sectors face increasing pressure to modernize legacy systems while strictly adhering to data sovereignty laws, the integration of AccuKnox’s Zero Trust framework ensures that compliance does not come at the cost of agility. This unified approach allows regulated enterprises to safely navigate the expanding attack surfaces of modern cloud architectures without exposing critical assets to vulnerability.
Hexaware ranked #18 in the OA500 2025, an objective index of the world’s top 500 outsourcing companies. The 2026 edition of the OA500 is expected to be released in March.
