Kyndryl, the largest IT infrastructure services provider globally, has unveiled a brand-new set of services in collaboration with Microsoft, aiming to enhance cyber resilience for businesses worldwide. These services are designed to tackle the evolving threat landscape, offering companies the tools to protect their critical assets from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
This new suite of security and resiliency services builds upon Kyndryl’s longstanding partnership with Microsoft. The services are integrated into Kyndryl Bridge, an AI-powered open integration platform. By combining Kyndryl’s deep expertise with Microsoft’s cutting-edge security technologies, the collaboration provides a comprehensive approach to mitigating threats and defending businesses against cyberattacks.
Addressing Growing Cyber Threats
As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the complexity of cyber threats and regulatory pressures are also rising. According to Michelle Weston, Vice President of Security & Resiliency at Kyndryl, the new services will help businesses not only protect their assets but also thrive in the ever-evolving digital environment. Weston emphasized that the partnership with Microsoft positions Kyndryl to meet regulatory needs, combat increasingly complex cyber risks, and bolster organizations’ readiness for compliance.
Cyber resilience has never been more critical, especially in today’s interconnected world. Ricardo Davila, Senior Director at Kyndryl, echoed this sentiment, noting that the collaboration is aimed at helping businesses secure their operations and confidently pursue their digital transformation goals.
