Wipro Limited, a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company, announced the expansion of its partnership with Palo Alto Networks, the global AI cybersecurity leader, to offer AI-driven Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.
The partnership brings together Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XSIAM with CyberShieldSM, Wipro’s managed security services capabilities in a more focused offering for modern security operations. The new offering will deliver proactive cyber defense with simplified workflows using machine learning, AI, and automation to predict and protect against future attacks. It will enable faster detection and response across complex environments, while filtering signals from noise, improving analyst efficiency, and increasing focus on critical, high-impact threats.
This offering is supported by Wipro’s WEGA and WINGS, AI delivery platforms that are a part of Wipro Intelligence™, suite of AI-powered platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings for workflow orchestration, service transition, and automation at scale across security operations.
“As organizations navigate a rapidly evolving landscape marked by accelerated AI adoption, the need for robust governance and strategic cost management has never been greater,” said Satish Yadavalli, Global Business Head - Cloud, Infrastructure, and Security Services, Wipro Limited. “Together with Palo Alto Networks, we are able to transform security operations through AI, automation, and platform consolidation, strengthening organizations’ security environments while optimizing costs and improving outputs.”
The expanded relationship builds on an existing foundation with Palo Alto Networks across cloud, network and security transformation, and reflects growing demand from clients for more integrated, AI-led security operations.
“AI-manufactured attacks require an AI-powered defense, and our partnership with Wipro helps deliver just that,” said Simone Gammeri, Senior Vice President and Chief Partnership Officer at Palo Alto Networks. “Our combined capabilities empower mutual customers to consolidate tools, eliminate data silos, and leverage AI and automation to reduce noise, accelerate response from days to minutes, and ultimately stop even the most sophisticated threats.”
The MDR services are delivered through Wipro’s eight Cyber Defense Centers (CDCs), anchored by the proprietary SOC GURU (Grand Unified Runbook Unleashed) framework—a unique IP that drives SOC transformation through attack- and alert-agnostic analysis. This unified, adaptive approach is designed to strengthen threat detection and response while supporting more resilient security operations.
This approach is already reflected in a recent engagement with a European gaming and entertainment leader, where Wipro and Palo Alto Networks helped transform security operations in a complex enterprise environment to deliver improved productivity, accelerated response, and reduced costs.
