TaaSera enters Indian cyber defence security market

MUMBAI: US-based cyber security company TaaSera today made its foray into the Indian market to cash in on the government's 'Digital India' initiative.

"India is vulnerable to cyber crimes on account of its growing economic progress. Our market assessment phase has had great response and we are confident that our product in the Indian cyber defence arena will be a game changer," TaaSera vice-president Nitin Akarte said here.

TaaSera claimed its attack warning and response engine (AWARE) system works in a pre-emptive way, by operating on the inside of the perimeter defences where the greatest damage from breaches actually occur.

The algorithms detect malicious behaviors in context and provide actionable intelligence in real time, thus preventing data breaches and loss of business continuity, it said.

The launch comes amid growing concerns on cyber security in the country, which has recently declared its aspiration to digitise rapidly through the 'Digital India' initiative.

It also comes days after attacks like the one on the commercial arms of space agency Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and on the website of realty portal Housing.com.

The company claims that it has helped its clientele, which includes Fortunes 1000 companies, by averting breaches.
