Cisco Systems announced a strengthened partnership with LTIMindtree to deliver enhanced Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions for global clients. Through this collaboration, LTIMindtree, a leading IT services provider, aims to expand its offerings in secure hybrid work solutions, utilizing Cisco’s advanced security technology, including Cisco Secure Access and SD-WAN, to provide seamless and secure experiences for both remote and office-based workforces.
The Mumbai-based LTIMindtree has integrated Cisco Secure Access as its security service edge (SSE) solution, enabling secure hybrid work for its 80,000 employees and extending this capability to clients worldwide. “With Cisco’s zero trust approach and embedded AI, it was an easy decision to replace our long-standing SSE solution with Cisco Secure Access,” said Nachiket Deshpande, Chief Operating Officer and Whole-time Director, LTIMindtree. He noted the efficiency of deploying Cisco’s solution, which not only enhances user experience but also simplifies IT management and strengthens protection for LTIMindtree’s hybrid workforce.
Cisco’s Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Jeetu Patel, praised LTIMindtree’s swift adoption of Secure Access as an example of Cisco’s platform strategy in action. “With the rise of AI-driven threats, our customers need background security that operates seamlessly across devices. Together with LTIMindtree, we are redefining protection standards for the modern workplace,” said Patel.
Cisco Secure Access delivers low-latency connections and identity-based authentication through a unified agent, making access faster and more secure. For IT teams, it offers a simplified route to zero trust network access (ZTNA) and streamlined operations through a unified console with AI-driven guidance, all as part of Cisco’s broader Security Cloud platform.
This expanded partnership represents a significant step in advancing security solutions for global businesses, supporting them as they navigate the challenges of the modern hybrid work environment.
