Infosys Cyber Next platform and Palo Alto
Networks strengthen Bpost's security posture as part of
the cloud transformation journey
BENGALURU, India, Sept. 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a
global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting,
today announced that it has collaborated with Bpost (Belgium
Post), a leading postal operator and growing parcel and
omni-commerce logistics partner in Europe, to secure the cloud environment and
build robust cyber resilience for Bpost's mail delivery and
logistics services. Even as the postal services industry is
challenged by sophisticated cyber threats, Infosys, along with Palo
Alto Networks - a global cybersecurity leader, has equipped
Bpost with solutions to identify and rapidly respond to suspicious
security events.
Infosys securely accelerated Bpost's cloud transformation
journey with its tailored Cloud SecOps delivery model. The model
improves Bpost's Azure and AWS cloud security posture by leveraging
Infosys Cyber Next platform. This brings the advantages of 24/7
security monitoring, security analytics, threat intelligence,
advanced security controls such as endpoint detection and threat
response, vulnerability management, and deception management. For
response to incidents, Infosys has implemented Palo Alto Networks'
Cortex XSOAR with fully automated response playbooks and AI-led
predictions to prevent similar threats in the future. Palo Alto
Networks will also provide Bpost with new next generation security
solutions to further strengthen the security of its cloud estate
and improve customer experience.
Vishal Salvi,
CISO & Head of Cyber Practice, Infosys,
said, "Our clients count on us to bring robust cybersecurity
capabilities especially to their business-critical cloud
transformations. Combining the strengths of Palo Alto Networks'
portfolio and our own service-based offerings we believe we can
equip them with the most effective path to navigate a rapidly
changing threat landscape. In the case of Bpost, our partnership is
helping them leapfrog to the next generation of cybersecurity
maturity."
Rony Monnaie, CISO, Bpost, said, "While we embarked on our cloud
transformation journey, Infosys drove several well-considered
cybersecurity initiatives to protect our environment and improve
Bpost's overall security posture. Today, both our employees and
customers benefit from the secure foundation we now have to deliver
and track both mail and parcels."
Don Jones, SVP Ecosystems,
Palo Alto Networks, said, "While easy to use is an important
feature, using AI and Automation to quickly and accurately identify
and respond to security events, is too. Together with Infosys, we
are pleased to support Bpost – an organization that embraces
cybersecurity as integral to their business transformation."
