Telangana Police Signs MoU To Strengthen Cyber Security Posture

The TGCSB not only investigates cybercrime but also actively monitors and mitigates cybersecurity threats affecting the State. Under the MoU, Google will implement its cloud-based Security Operations Center (SOC), Google SecOps, at no cost, through Ilois Digital, an authorized implementation partner of Google Cloud India Private Limited.

The solution offers 24x7 monitoring and response to malicious threats and captures real-time data from networks and internet packets. It applies deep analytics and threat intelligence to correlate alerts and flag malicious cyber security incidents.

Further, as per the MoU, Arete IR LLP will provide Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) services and deploy the SentinelOne EDR solution for TGCSB, at no cost. This initiative aims to fortify endpoint security and provide 24x7 services, including threat monitoring, detection, analysis, and response across the Telangana police’s IT infrastructure, with a focus on the endpoint level.

The MoU signing event was held at the TGCSB headquarters in Hyderabad, in the presence of representatives from TGCSB, Google, Ilois Digital, SentinelOne and Arete. The MoU will remain in effect for three years and will also help train Telangana police in handling and responding to cybersecurity incidents.

Speaking at the event, Shikha Goel, Director, TGCSB, said “It gives me great pride to sign the MoU for the Security Operations Centre and Endpoint Detection and Response solution which is a pivotal step in proactively identifying and neutralizing malicious security threats, and strengthening Telangana police’s cyber defence capabilities. Together, these initiatives represent our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our digital assets and ensuring a resilient cybersecurity framework.”
