Infosys is developing a comprehensive security platform that encompasses incident response, monitoring, proactive threat intelligence, analytics, and automation to detect security breaches and threats. Utilizing analytics and artificial intelligence, the platform anticipates potential threats and alerts clients accordingly. In a recent conversation, Vishal Salvi, Chief Information Security Officer and Head of Cyber Security Practice at Infosys, emphasized to Sudhir Chowdhary that fostering a culture that prioritizes cybersecurity is essential for building digital trust and resilience in our rapidly changing environment. Here are some key insights from their discussion:

Ensuring Business Resilience and IT Security in a New Era
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly expanded the threat landscape, as over 200,000 employees transitioned to remote work in a short period. Infosys successfully moved about 95% of its workforce to a work-from-home model within three weeks, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity amid this shift. To safeguard data across distributed remote workspaces, organizations must implement robust information tracking and security policies that minimize risks while promoting business resilience.

Infosys adapted its monitoring rules and use-case generation to accommodate new working methods, ensuring that data aggregation and analytics for operational and infrastructure planning align with employee privacy regulations. They developed innovative models to monitor employee productivity while respecting privacy mandates.

Establishing Borderless Security Architecture
To combat cyber threats, organizations must configure a borderless security architecture as devices connect from remote locations. Companies that fail to adapt to this new security paradigm expose themselves to increased risks of cyberattacks.

Building Digital Trust through Security
As digitalization evolves and cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, organizations must remain vigilant. One effective strategy is to empower all stakeholders to prioritize security. By embedding security principles—such as "secure by design" and "privacy by design"—at every stage of the business cycle, companies can integrate security into their enterprise architecture.

Compliance with privacy-related regulations necessitates the incorporation of privacy by design into nearly every project. This approach not only enhances security but also plays a pivotal role in fostering digital trust, which has become a significant competitive advantage in today’s marketplace.
