L&T Technology Services Limited (LTTS), a leading global pure-play engineering services company, announced a partnership with Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, to provide security services and solutions in 5G and Operations Technology (OT) areas to enterprises across multiple verticals.

As per the agreement, LTTS will establish a partnership as a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) for Palo Alto Networks. This partnership will enable LTTS to offer a comprehensive range of security services to clients operating in industrial sectors. The security solutions provided by LTTS will encompass services related to 5G, operational technology (OT), and IT/OT Converged SOC services.

By collaborating with Palo Alto Networks, LTTS will be able to address security risks in their OT environments while providing best-in-class security. Under the newly established MSSP agreement, LTTS will deliver a managed service offering for Palo Alto Networks’ Zero Trust OT Security solution. This arrangement will enable customers to delegate the day-to-day management of their operational technology (OT) security to LTTS, effectively outsourcing this responsibility.

Palo Alto Networks Zero Trust OT Security is designed to provide comprehensive visibility and security for OT assets and networks, 5G connected assets, and remote operations powered by AI/ML.

LTTS and Palo Alto Networks’ collaboration also aims to provide comprehensive 5G-Native Security solutions that leverage AI and ML technologies to combat advanced cyber threats in the operational technology (OT) environment.

This collaboration provides customers with enhanced visibility and control over their network slices, private networks, and multi-access edge computing by providing scalable and real-time security measures for 5G networks.

LTTS has demonstrated expertise in designing robust IoT/OT and IT security converged project execution capabilities for over a decade. LTTS has expanded its security offerings portfolio with Security Operations Centres (SoC) and SoC-as-a-Service, including Managed SOC services and Cyber Security Advisory services, following the recent merger of L&T’s Smart World and Communication (SWC).
