The fully managed solution combines Airtel’s internet connectivity with Fortinet’s Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform and is backed by Airtel’s Security Operations Centre (SOC).

“Our collaboration with Airtel Business to offer ‘Secure Internet’ provides a cost-effective solution, delivering 24×7 security event monitoring and detection to identify and respond to potential threats in real-time. By leveraging SOC-as-a-Service model, organisations can reduce their total cost of ownership, bridge the cybersecurity skills gap and gain greater visibility into their complex environments ensuring comprehensive protection in today’s digital landscape,” Fortinet added.
