Tata Elxsi and Accuknox Partner for Autonomous Networks Security
In a groundbreaking move, Tata Elxsi, a leading technology and design company, has revealed a strategic partnership with Accuknox, the developer of NIMBUS, an advanced cloud-native security solution. This collaboration signifies a major step forward in network transformation and security, presenting operators with a comprehensive solution for building and securing autonomous networks.
Tata Elxsi's NEURON product suite, an award-winning telco automation platform, plays a pivotal role in this partnership. NEURON includes NEURON Telco Cloud, facilitating the rollout of 5G, and NEURON Dark NOC, automating 5G NOC operations. Both solutions, powered by Gen AI, offer intelligent end-user interactions, digital twin capabilities, and AI/ML algorithms for predictive intelligence.
Accuknox's NIMBUS introduces the ability to identify crucial network and host security policies through environment profiling, formulating them as intents applicable in a cloud-native fashion to any Kubernetes workload. This spans from the Core to the RAN, providing real-time inline security against potential attackers.
The integration of NEURON with NIMBUS allows operators to deploy and secure cloud-native workloads seamlessly. NIMBUS's intent-driven approach to security empowers operators to protect their cloud-native environments with precision and efficiency.
Operators can now securely deploy cloud-native workloads and discover the necessary policies for previously deployed services. NEURON automates the generation of required intent and applies it to the network, ensuring a streamlined and secure operational process. The integrated solution, agnostic to the underlying network, simplifies orchestration and enforcement of security with a single pane of control.
Rajagopalan Rajappa, CTO, Communications at Tata Elxsi, expressed, “Through this collaboration with AccuKnox, we want to offer telcos a solution that simplifies the complexity of deployment while also being secure and resilient. This strategic partnership helps operators roll out secure 5G networks with inline mitigation and makes the network future-ready for 6G”.
Rahul Jadhav, Co-founder & CTO at AccuKnox, added, “By joining forces with Tata Elxsi, we look forward to leveraging the power of our Zero Trust technology to deliver highly differentiated value to help organizations marshal the power of 5G technology while ensuring that the deployments are risk-mitigated”.
