TCS wins Bane NOR security deal

Tata Consultancy Services said on Monday it has been selected by Bane NOR - a Norwegian government agency responsible for maintaining, operating, and developing the Norwegian railway network - to enable secure access to the latter’s digital systems.

However, the financials of the deal were not disclosed.

As its strategic partner, TCS’ teams based in Norway and across Europe will provide services spanning identity governance and administration (IGA), access management, identity lifecycle management and application management operations in a managed services model.


The IT major will use its TCS IdentiFence platform, an identity and access management (IAM) module of TCS’ Cyber Defense Suite.

“TCS proposed a thorough plan and process to support Bane NOR, and we are confident in our decision to award them the contract. They proved to be a right fit, and in particular TCS’ ability to be a strategic partner as well as their scalability and flexibility, and holistic approach to IGA capabilities coupled with access to local and global resources demonstrated their capacity to meet Bane NOR’s needs,” said Tom Remberg, CISO, Bane NOR.

TCS’ Cyber Defense suite has a network of 12 Threat Management Centres across the UK, Ireland, Spain, US, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and India to provide rapid localised support.

Further, it helps enterprises quantify their risks and strengthen their security posture by embedding security at design, implementing a zero-trust framework, and providing 360-degree visibility and predictive intelligence to proactively defend against and respond to evolving risks.

“Our automation and analytics-based digital identity platform TCS IdentiFence will reimagine their IAM landscape and enhance user experience,” said Rajan Maheshwari, Country Head, TCS Norway.
